I just wanted to let everyone know that Northside Marina is under New management. This is my go to place when it comes to nice quarters and good crappie fishing. If you are interested check out the website www.northsidemarina.net
you will enjoy the quiet peaceful place.

FYI: Allen The manager at Northside Marina just told me to let everyone know that if they Book and stay from Now through February and mention the code word "Jet" he will give you 10% off of your bill. Also 10% off any boat rental during the same time. Also if you are unable to stay but would like to come down and fish off the Marina docks. He is doing a $10.00 plus a dozen minnows or a box of worms and fish all day.

FYI; the first picture of my signature was caught off of his dock.

Thanks for the TFF SUPPORT

BTW: I get nothing from posting this. I just want other people to have a nice place to enjoy themselves.

Good info! Thanks!

Nice to know. Thanks

Always nice to add another crappie house to the list! Thanks for info sir...ten bucks w a dozen minners is a good deal!

Good Morning TFF'ers. The water at Northside Marina on Lake Bridgeport is a Muddy. A little slower bite. but when the bite happens it has been a good one.

Been looking at this as a place to go check out-thanks for the info!!

Bridgeport is a hidden gem that many folks don't know about. With all the rains this year and 2015, it should be close to pool, if not at pool. Many dry years before it was 10-15 foot below pool. Good Winter and Spring to try it out and though it's more of a haul for me, I may run out when the crappie bite is on.

If it was a little closer or easier to get to I'd go there a lot. Fun lake to fish and so many places. Love fishing the river.

Agreed with Big_CatEM this is a gem. A long ways away. but if you plan on needing a place to stay for a few days the fishing is a bonus. The water now is 25-30 feet deep. i have fished it when it was 3-5 feet deep. So i have seen ever level of it. Great place to take the family also.

Anytime you need an Aggie alum partner, sir, lemme know. I'll help with the gas. Yes, the river below on the West Fork of the Trinity I hear is good too.

Well said, SirJet! I have a middle school principal nearby where I live who lives in Bridgeport. I need to hit him up for a one night's stay. LOL

It's a hard drive for me Big Cat. I live east of Dallas and the route is loaded with traffic and yayhoo drivers that do not like folks who fish when they have to work. I went on a Saturday and the traffic wasn't too bad but the lake was a little crowded. Even so I had a great time flipping bushes up the river. I thought about going around McKinney and going 380 but it's the long way around and traffic is not much better. Just easier for me to head east to fish.

I don't have a huge boat (17' aluminum), but if any of you guys know the lake and want to go hit me up.

Love that area where the river winds into the marina and main lake during the fall color change

Went there today and this is going to become a go to spot for me. Close enough to the house and or just rent a cabin if I want to stay a few days. Tons of potential and I feel once there is more structure placed in the water the fish will be there in better numbers.

Alan the owner seems like a good guy too so looking forward to seeing him succeed!

I was able to get out there on Saturday. Started of slow. Ended up with 13 keepers out of about 30 fish. Placed some structure in slip #4 Got a bite two hours later after putting it in. I agree with you Crappie Brother. I really want Allen to succeed. Here is a pic of a few of the minnows I caught.

You might want to get your cabin reserved for March. they fill up fast.

Starting to put structure in. Started getting fish 6 hours after putting in some structure.

hey guys and Gals. I get nothing from my post about Northside Marina on Lake Bridgeport. i just Love the place and i want everyone to have a chance to visit a nice place and catch some fish. Well Allen called me today and informed me that the fishing is picking up and the cabins are filling up. So go out spend a few days out there and try to get a fish or two.

Thank you for the information. Might try it this weekend.

Thank you for the information....great lake to fish....

OK Guys. The crappie are staging. Went this weekend and got a dozen or so. So the spawn will not be far behind.

Went there over the weekend. It is a nice place, I fished the marina boat dock, caught a few. The people who own/run it are very nice. The one thing, if you have never been there to watch out for, is it is located on a steep hill side. Be prepared to walk down 2 flights of very steep steps. I think there is kind of a lift that can help part of the way down if needed. Plus have to climb it back up when leaving. I will be 72 this year and was able to make it, but I would not want to walk up and down more than twice in one day.

Maybe we will see u Sunday. I can already taste em.

LET ME GRAB my tackle iam in for it may have to ck. it out. Thanks.

Well went out Saturday afternoon. It was a tough outing with the weather change. but still managed to get 11 nice keepers. With about 30 or so throw backs. If you want to get a cabin. You might want to book now. It is about to be very hard to get one.

That�s a mule you are holding right or is that a tank?

LOL. he was a beast. but it has been a while since I got him. I am in need of another one. LOL
