next friday I am driving down to austin to meet up with some friends from college, driving from fort worth, have a few hours to stop at a lake and fish on the way down. Which lake would you recommend, been to whitney before and like it. I know belton and stillhouse are close to 35 and of course I can drive all the way down and fish lady bird or travis, which do you do and why.

I�d drop the boat in the Brazos right there in Waco.

If you do I would recommend the MCC ramp, the Brazos park east ramp has a bad reputation for theft, public housing isn't far from there, they have hit me before. Or just go to lake waco and use one of the gated corp ramps.

thanks, yall, probably shouldve mentioned I am not gonna be towing a boat haha, but ill google earth some places on the brazos that I may be able to fish

With that info the Brazos would actually be one of your best bank fishing choices. The McLennan County Community College(MCCC) ramp is actually on the Bosque River just upstream from the Brazos but lots of bank access along both rivers in Cameron Park. Just upstream from the MCCC ramp is Lake Waco dam which has some bank fishing on the river which was on fire back when Lake Waco was releasing their flood waters.

i think i decided to wake up and bank fish on belton, looks like there is good access, gonna throw some flukes, cranks, and topwater when i get there and slow down with ned rigs and senkos, anyone have an experience. not trying to get anyone spots, just gonna be there for a few hours.

i 35 is all torn up thru waco

fyi

.....and Temple, Belton......for the last 20 years!
