Amistad is my favorite lake when it has water, but I've caught more really big bass from Falcon. As someone mentioned earlier, that 2008 - 2012 period at Falcon was insane for big fish. I had at least 1 DD every year out of there and on one trip I had 2 over 10 and my partner had 1 over 11.

Fayette was the lake that I learned to Bass Fish, 3lbs-4lbs were common....with an 8.7lb my 2nd largest caught. Summertime they would school and winter they were at the edge of the hydrilla. An IDIOT could catch fish on Fayette...I'm living proof!

2000s on Amistad was it, you would catch one and a 20-25 would follow the one you had hooked to the boat and be all same size. probably happens on other lakes but Amistad was clear enough to see bass at their natural state. First time I fished it was a TTT flw pro-am and realized we were fishing in drinking water, and I brought to heavy of line I had to go to Wal-Mart for some line.

Travis. There's more exposed boobs in Devils cove than in Epstein's little black book! (But Fork for fishing!)

got my introduction to Texas gators when I woke up on a picnic table at the calliham unit, got in late and I opted for the table vs. a non reclining truck seat.

woke up with 2-3 gators not too far away.


choke was amazing back then, 79-81, caught a lot of 5+ back then.
fork is tied with choke imo, always a challenge and spring/fall are my favorite times.


Choke Canyon was impounded in 1982.

I had the opportunity to fish Fayette County about 2 weeks before it opened to the public. Other than that it was Rayburn ibn the early 70's. That was a good time. If you are talking about now, I would say for me I still enjoy fishing Rayburn now.

My two best days ever both come from Cooper about 3 weeks apart. My best five were over 50lbs not once but twice. After that Sugar lake.

Purtis Creek prior to the grass being eradicated, Monticello prior to the PP being shut down, Fork prior to the herbicide fish kill which was spun as LMBV, Roberts prior to the hydrilla being killed... Current loves are Athens, Sam Rayburn, the Devils River, Picachos, and a couple of more local lakes which shall remain nameless. On the list of "hey I need to fish that lake" are Ivie, Choke, Nocona, Moss and several Mexican lakes.


See you on the lake and have a great day!

Obviously Falcon back in the day. Next to that would be Houston County when it had hydrilla. Was absolutely NOTHING to catch 100 with half being 4 plus. A horrible day was anything under 25 on best 5.

Next to that would be Sheldon Reservoir from 2003-2009. NUMEROUS 10+ along with 1 over 13. 5 sacks over 40lbs. Every trip we caught one over 7. Big rod big braid 1oz weight. The funnest way to catch um
