Back when I lived in North Richland Hills (~2008) I spend a good amount of time fishing the banks of Marine Creek. Back then pumpkin/chartreuse ribbon tail worms and green pumpkin shaky heads did the trick most days. I then picked up a bass buster and started spending most of my weekends at the LBJ Grasslands. The grasslands have some good lakes with good size fish and seclusion if you donโt mind the drive. I am going to have to go out to the grasslands some. Fishing in the city can be more stress than it is worth.

I see, definitely makes sense. So if I am fishing in the trinity wacky and Texas rig probably are to subtle to be seen, but something like a chatter bait, spinner bait, or lipless crank would work better because vibration. I know of a pond with tons of grass with clear water so a wacky rig in the pockets there. And throw a Texas rig/jig at wood or visible cover?

So once the spawn starts I should fish that channel and backwaters then post spawn into summer fish the reeds out towards the lake? I kayaked a couple of times out there before I started fishing. I went to the island once too.

Fished Marine Creek for the first time last weekend...caught 6 fish and weather wise it was a really bad day...cold & nasty... I've heard people say Marine Creek is tough fishing but we did just fine and in my opinion, that lake is perfect for kayak fishing. Will probably be back out there on Saturday or Sunday as I want to road test my new kayak trailer. And I agree with the comments about the grasslands....great lakes there, very little pressure and some really good fish.

Ten mile bridge below eagle mountain. It runs into Lake Worth. Used to be pretty great fishing. A kayak is perfect down there. Agreed but watch out for the Gators!!

That mini-lake behind Home Depot in Waxahachie is clear, somewhat deep, and has some decent bass in it...
