Any of these lakes like Welsh, Monticello etc producing? Water temps? Thank you!

Monticello is now cold. Not a PP lake anymore. Welsh has been beat to death but I�m sure it can still Produce

You can use the ramp on Monticello to put your boat in but the lake is a couple of feet lower than it used to be. It's not easy access in and out of the boat from the bank. Like Frank the Tank said it's cold now. Haven't seen a lot of activity on the lake for a while. Not a lot of folks fishing like before. But that's not necessarily a bad thing. Just different. Watch the stumps.

last week welsh was good even w the traffic

I don't think it is considered an "east Texas" lake but Fayette County lake produces 24/7/365.

welsh was between 63 and 75 where i fished today

I talked to a couple of young guys on a vacation down here this weekend that fished Welsh this past Saturday. They said the numbers were awesome but the size was lower than they had hoped. Said most of the fish had a very post spawn look to them. They also said the crowds weren't that bad and they fished on what should have been the busiest day of the week. Guessing the cold/wet day kept people at home.

Last trip it was a decision between Fayette and Bastrop... should have chose Fayette.

I heard Bastrop has been tough

Bastrop rarely puts out any hot water.

You might give Martin Creek a try....just saying.

Oh there was hot water, we just couldn't get many bites, not sure why, just one of those days.
