Spring break is here. Time to take the boys on a fishing trip. What lakes are fishing good right now? Was thinking to go to Falcon but with a super strong wind on Tue and then a north wind every day for the rest of the week I�ll pass
How come I keep catching small fish when every product I buy is supposed to catch more and bigger fish?

Where are you located? Might have some suggestions if you're close to East Texas.

San Antonio is a long drive to East Texas. I was going to help you out with Lake Welsh or Lake O' Pines, but perhaps someone can hook you up with something down there. The weather in East Texas is going to be bad all week here.

You might consider Fayette. Been reading some very good reports the past couple of weeks.

If you're in SA hit up Medina. May not catch a donkey, but there's so many dinks.

I would fish Fayette as my first choice. Second would be Medina. As been stated above plenty of small ones. Third choice would be Dunlap in New Braunfels. What ever you decide to do best of luck. It's always great to see a post involving a dad taking his son's fishing.

Thx for suggestions. Like I said I don�t mind the drive as long as it�s worth it. We will b there for about 5 days so makes it even more worth it.
Is Dunlop even fishable right now? Haven�t heard good things about it lately.

Athens. Or any of the other small lakes around you. Especially if they have grass. Some are fishing off the chain and you won�t have to fight the crowds.

Is Dunlop even fishable right now? Haven�t heard good things about it lately. Water is clear in most places and the current is strong. Did OK on Dunlap last week!  Water temperature was 67 degrees.  Right now Fayette is fishing better.

I'd pick your favorite lake with those conditions in mind and get after it.
