We caught some good keeper smallmouth Saturday off the rocks to the right of the dam. Lost a BIG smallmouth off the point at Katie’s woods loop. Caught a few more smallmouth off the dam.
The winning team fished the dam all day. They also caught 20+ pounds last weekend at media….I assume fishing the dam.

Had a good day, two smallies in one day is a good day. Lost one which would have made the trifecta. Smallmouth can wreck a spinnerbait. ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2022/04/full-1116-137155-20220426_071621.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2022/04/full-1116-137156-20220426_083546.jpg)

Almost 10 years fishing the Vine and I never caught a smallie. Let us know when you hit 3 in a day prosise.
The solution to any problem - work, love, money, whatever - is to go fishing, and the worse the problem, the longer the trip should be. --John Gierach

I catch smallies all the time crappie fishing out there. There is a way bigger self sustaining population out there than most realize. I will say it seems they stay pretty close to the dam but you can catch them anywhere on the lake. I tend to catch most on tube crappie jigs.

There are some line screaming fish in the lake ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2022/04/full-4711-136661-20220422_164928.jpg) NIce to see them thriving in Grapevine. Back before 2010, when I was fishing the Vine all the time they were rare. I feel like they still are... I have yet to see one. Anyone know where they hang out more? I would guess they are around the dam? I never fish the dam maybe thats why I have not seen one. If you don't fish the dam, they will seem rare. 95 percent of the ones I have caught there have been really close to the dam

Is the dam accessible for shore fisherman? This may be a good place for me to try out, given my love for catching small mouth.

I have caught quite a few off the dam over the years but many of them were caught back when the aerator was running...

Last Saturday’s grapevine tourney I had 5 smallmouth. It was all I could catch...then I was saved by a 5-1/2lb largemouth.

There are several areas that hold them year round. I fish deep water most of the time. Look to the bridge pillings and the large rock humps. Notice i said rock

Bridge pillings? I’m guessing there’s something underwear otherwise silver lake is gonna be covered up!
