Hey everyone!

so as per my last post, I manage to catch one crappie, two bass, and a couple of catfish ! Thanks for all the tips and the help Mr.Harper !

anyways, now that spawn is relatively over, I was wondering what creeks near DFW are holding smaller bass? I think it'd do me good to fish for lots of smaller bass to get some more experience after the two-year hiatus, and how to fish specific baits. I woulda thunk that muscle memory might do its thing, but I just can't seem to fish much of anything anymore except for soft plastics ... regardless, I'm located in Frisco and would love to hear about some of the creeks you guys wade fish for smaller bass! might tag along some of my beginner friends and get them on their first bass...

thanks for the help y'all!

Every creek in this area has small bass.
- Go to Nav. Apps. and look at the creeks leaving the lakes.
- Download Google Earth Pro. to take a look at each of the creeks to find your access points off of roads and bridge crossings.

Not much rain in the past few weeks; so this is a good time to go fish them. They will be clear. Use your small spinners, wacky rigs and trick worms or senkos.

The spawns over?

every lake ive gone to, it seems so. the one pond I went to is still spawning, but cooper lake didn't have any spawners and neither did Lewisville

Spawn better not be over. Cut my foot real bad and haven't fished in 2 weeks. I don't think it is, but if so, I'm going to cry. Hopefully get back to fishing on Monday.

Btw, don't ever slip on a pave stone. Leaves a nasty cut, 8 stitches, $600 at the emergency room and off the water for 2 weeks. Sucked all around.

Haha. Not even getting going good yet!

Oh man, this makes me feel SO much better. i thought I had missed the spawn since I couldn't see ANY bass spawning. some lakes where already at the magic 63 degrees so I was pretty disappointed when I didn't notice any bass spawning... man, I must be REALLY rusty haha

Water barely been in the 60’s 😂

You haven't missed much

Spawn not over... lakes spawn typically in sections...

Where is the world did you get the idea that the spawn is over??????

sorry, my bad! cooper lake was in the 60's when I went, and didn't even see a single bass bedding or even trying to bed. plus, I caught a two smaller bass so I just assumed that the spawn was over...

They're still pretty spread out. One cove may have bedding fish every 3 feet and the next might have none. Go find some shallow, grassy, out of the wind coves on the north side of the lake. Grass isn't necessary but it sure helps you to see them (clearer water and easier to see that sandy bed against a green background). As it gets warmer, theyll start spreading out more into the southern parts of the lake, but right now i would focus on the north side.

ETA: I've been fishing Sandlin and i imagine Cooper is in a pretty similar stage right now since its just down the road
