You guys must be able to put up with alot more BS than me-with all the negatives at the ramp and out on the lake I would never fish there- don't care how good it can be. Must be an age thing-I'm 70.

That's funny...last week these two old a holes motored down in between a buddy and I in our kayaks. Complete disregard for us. Closest I've ever had someone cut me off, even when I've been in my boat. Probably more to the story than shown here but if you are offended by anything shown in this pic you probably are in a bad mood fishing every public lake in Texas! Truth^ Yep

Closest I've ever had someone cut me off, even when I've been in my boat. A few weeks ago I was fishing a small slew and that same boat idled past me within 10 feet of my boat just to stop 20 yards ahead of me and cut me off. I know Squaw is not my own personal lake and that it's been stocked using tax payer money and people are free to act however they choose. But, at the same time common courtesy and common sense is definitely something that needs to be a priority when you're in any public place.

Good lake to get a line pulled during the colder months when other bodies of water can be tough for some. Other than that though squaw is without a doubt in a downward spiral from what it use to be just 4-5 years ago.

These kayak guys need to find a lake that doesn’t have 150 250 horse bass boats doing 70mph all around the lake. It’s not safe for then

I fish out there regularly and I don't even think about the ramp or the rude people. That's pretty much every lake I go to nowadays. I just tune it all out and go fish. I enjoy the lake and catching fish in the winter. But Im a pretty easy going guy. My #1 rule in life is " People are crazy, just accept it and move on". Makes life much easier at least for me.

I was out there yesterday and had a good time. I mainly wanted to get out of the house so I stayed in Granbury Wednesday night and ate dinner and had a few cold ones watching the Baylor game. I’ve only been once and that was 4 years or so ago. I was all by myself so i really tried to be in the back of the line. I got there right before 0600 and was the 3rd boat In line lol “for some reason I thought guys started getting in line around 0430” They let us in a 0700 and I launched my boat parked it on one of the unserviceable ramps and parked the Tahoe. Everyone seemed nice.... I caught a dozen or so 2 to 2 1/2 pounders on a white spook around the islands and missed quite a few more. I then flipped the brush in about 10 to 15 fow with a senko and caught some more. The wind started picking up and I’m halfway through a pretty severe cold so I left around 1230. I wasn’t feeling well all week but cabin fever was starting to set in. Alll in all I had a good time, boats were all around me but we all said hello and fished. I’ll go back next year around this same time. Happy new year everybody!

I took my backup tournament partner out there the 2nd for my annual cabin fever trip to Squaw. There were 70 reservations left the night before, so was thinking I might could explore a few spots that are always arses to elbows with boats that I have never fished. Did that on one spot but had 2 boats come up within 30 yards of me and box me in on one point. Overall it fished a little off, caught about 25 but the normal 2.1lbers on average were about 2.4lbers being the difference. Got slow about noon and I pulled out a fairy wand rig for the first time in two years and drop shotted 4 of the nicer fish caught up north in 30ft of water but got bored with that (but if I were in a derby, I would be video gaming all day). Better more active bite was in 77 degree water closer to the discharge on red plum shaky heads. Good thoughts by Champion1 above, know what you are getting into, lower your normal fishing etiquette expectations in half when you get on a popular wintertime 3,000 acre lake, and make the best of it.

Almost went this morning!!!! Judging from the pictures I think you made the right choice of lakes to fish.
