Has anybody gone to Frisco Commons Park after the trout stocking? I went there and got skunked back to back times. Please share your experience with me.

you wont be able to catch trout at Frisco commons. they are pretty much fished out in a few weeks after the stocking. there are lots of tiny bass in there. and good number of 1 to 2 lb bass. every now and then you can catch a 3 to 4 lber. I like the fact that the water stays crystal clear most of the year there.

That pond has some cool looking fish in it. I would suggest going out there with a fly rod and see what you can get. I have seen some funky looking perch/sunfish and I believe I have seen a few Koi or large goldfish someone may have thrown in it. Just try to get out there before the turtles get too thick.

Hi guys! Thanks for sharing. I've also went bass fishing there one time in the evening but caught nothing. Do ya'll have any experience recently in Oak Point Nature Preserve?

Oak point has crappie and bass in it. Frisco commons does have some big bass. Ive had the best luck at FC on weightless flukes and whopper ploppers and frogs.

I need to try Frisco Common with my fly rod. I have seen some folks catch thing there on small crappie jigs as well as with live bait. As for Oak Point Nature Preserve, I have seen many people fish for catfish and an occasional bluegill, white bass, and crappie. When I first move here, I went to Oak Point Nature Preserve to practice my fly casting to get ready for the season. I had a little bead-head nymph on and I had a bluegill on just about every cast.

I don't have or plan to fly fish, but I went to Oak Point again today. My dad said he got a bite with a big fish on but lost it right at the bank. We know there are a good amount of fish here, but still need to catch one......

I'm not too confident about Catfish still being in there since it was stocked 2 years ago. I don't know for sure though because I don't bother to try.....

Oak Point has been my nemesis since I first starting fishing the Plano/Richardson/Garland/North Dallas area.

It's kicked my tail.

This topic has given me motivation to challenge it again. I won't fail!

Addendum: My main ponds around here are at Breckenridge off Renner Rd. Sometimes they sucker punch me as well.

I went to Oak Point this afternoon. People nearby were catching mini Catfish with chicken livers, but nobody Bass. I have gotten tricked by Bass once again. Got skunked.

Beautiful day though

I'm thinking about giving this a try later this week.

I'm a glutton...

Please let me know how you do there!

Went to Russell Creek Park this morning. Caught no fish, but found a few lures dropped on the ground. This place hasn't been so good lately.

What baits were you using at Russell Creek Park? I caught 3 bass on Sunday using a Ned rig on the side of the pond which is closest to the parking lot.

Frisco Commons. I havent had much luck, but i have seen some nice looking fish in it. I think there are some Koi as well

to this day I haven't caught a fish there. It's good for trout in the winter though.

caught 3 last week.

Was that at Frisco Commons?

Has anyone here ever had any luck with a Zoom U-Tale worm? I've been fishing with it but no luck.......

I've had luck with them on a weightless Texas rig

Thanks. Good to know they work

This is one from late August. I had about 2 hours to kill on a Saturday morning and decided to hit Oak Point Park off of Jupiter. The water level was REALLY low, so I was shocked that anything would bite. There were a few folks kayaking there. I did get one with my fly rod. I was tossing a little midge.

thank you very much for sharing. I'm thinking about just fishing for sunfish mostly at Oak Point because I'm finding catching Bass and Catfish there very hard. I went there this evening and the water level was low as you said. Be careful at Oak Point Park!!!! I saw a scorpion and a big spider today while fishing!

I’ve caught a few tiny bass at oak park. But lock your car up. My wife had her wallet and phone stolen out of the car. We were just there for about an hour.

thanks for the car advice. the scorpion was by the way probably just a crawfish or crab now that I remember, but still be very watchful!!

I will be at Russell Creek Park tomorrow morning. I will either be flailing around with my fly-rod or switching it over to some ultra-light spinning.

Please let me know hw you did!!!!

I always like to hear people's catches in parks

Went to Russell Creek Park yesterday. Didn't catch any fish, but saw a large school of minnows under the dock. Fished with a Texas-rigged Zoom U-tale worm.

A car break in and theft at Oak Point?
So sad...must have been an opportunist. I've never heard of break ins there before.
