Hit the spot near Miller/Centerville again today in the kayaks. We fished with minnows. The water was pretty murky, so naturally we couldn't stop catching catfish. For every 10 crappie caught maybe 3-4 weren't keepers and got thrown back. There's always people fishing from the bank, but no one ever says they've had any luck. I'm all ears if someone wants to DM me where all the sandies are. God knows I try and catch the run every year and always seem to miss it. Good luck out there. Watch for snakes.

Hit 3 locations before finding a nice hole. Fish almost every cast, but tons of dinks.

Would you say it gets better closer to ray hubbard or further north?

By the gun range / black pipe. Not sure if I read wrong or people don't know what they are talking about how there's no more fish. I immediately skunked right after I took this picture of all his fish. Lol what luck. I got there about 12pm, he said he's been there since 9am this morning.

Anyone fishing Liberty grove and 190?

The run should be almost over.

I thought the spawn wouldve been long over by now
So sandies are still there?

Seen people at Miller and centerville killing them on minnows yesterday. Few large carps too

This has been going on for decades out there and gets worse every year. Glad to see they are starting to do something about it!

From Texas Game Wardens Field Notes page:

An Illegal Net-work

Dallas County game wardens were on patrol when they received a phone call about several individuals netting at Rowlett Creek and keeping game fish. The wardens arrived at the location and observed from a distance six individuals scaling and catching fish illegally with a cast net. The subjects were confronted and admitted to catching all the fish with the net. The violators had 48 fish in their possession, and of those 10 were undersized catfish and 8 undersized white bass. As wardens were citing these violators, two more individuals were observed walking out of the woods carrying a bucket containing a net. After questioning, they admitted to catching fish using the net and led the wardens to the location where fish were hidden in another bucket in the brush. The bucket contained 55 fish including 34 undersized white bass and 1 undersized crappie. All subjects were cited and released.
