I enjoyed the lake over the years.....

This, but had a 10" power worm instead of buzz bait. If you did get bit with these, they just weren't biting at all.

Amistad in mid 2000s. Could catch 100 a day any way you wanted. Never got to fish Falcon in its hey day but I’ve heard stories about how rediculous it was. Those days are over thanks to social media and “growing the sport”.

Yeah because the drought and record low water levels have nothing to do with it

amistad back in the day. real fun! best day had a 6-7, a 7-6, and 11-7 by myself

Doctors Creek State Park on Cooper I can step out in the highway and see from my house. I'll be hitting it with a Carolina Rig this coming weekend. I've been doing a lot of side scan work on some points and I think I may have located some of the bass population. They put 250,000 florida strain fingerlings in it about two years ago. I think between the predatory fish eating birds that haunt it and the mid 2000's drought where water levels dropped so fast it may have left eggs high and dry plus the fact DP&W rarely stocks it, it died. Just before the stocking they did a shock survey and cound't find any LMB's. If I do any good I'll post some photos. Delta County needs fishermen spending money.

Fair and obvious point. No matter what lake is on fire these days, word gets out immediately and the travelers pack up and head that way. Bring on the hurricanes to S Texas!

Yep Cooper Lake was awesome for me from bout 96 to 2000. I was on that sucker every day I was off..Wish I got to fish Fork in the early days.

Monti 80's - soon after Bob Garcia broke the state record. Spent many a cold night out there but it was worth it and I was young lol.
T Bend - anytime! 80's to now for me. Always been good to me. Won a boat there.
Fork - right after opening to now. In the beginning we fished a place we called the watermelon patch, when the lake had only road beds to launch from. There was one on the bank too - so duh lol. .All day long we caught 'em 5-6# and some bigger, every trip! They would wear the paint off a yellow bladed spinner bait. Incredible fishing!

I can’t select just one one lake. Several I’m quite fond of.

Lake Corpus Christi mid 80’s to about 1990 was the most under rated Lake in the state. It was stacked with fish.

Falcon was something to behold when it was full. I lived in Corpus and fished it a lot in the 80’s. Fished it a lot 10-12 years back for a few years too.

When I dropped my boat in Amistad in around 1982, it was full and could see at least 20 feet I was taken back. I leaned a lot watching what fish did when they picked up a worm in deep water. Where they picked the bait up and when you felt the fish were two different things. Clearest blue water I’d ever seen, maybe even more clear than Tenkiller, in Oklahoma.

Choke in the early days before it completely filled up was a site to see. Fish swimming between cactus with blooms under the water was quite a site.

I’ve been lucky to fish as much as I have and lakes I’ve fished.

Now days I’m taken back by Rayburn. I’m lucky enough to have a house in Rayburn Country. Lake Sam Rayburn is an amazing lake to hold up to the pressure and still kick out fish like it does. I’m retired now. I didn’t get on a hunting lease this year. I plan on some serious fall fishing this year on Rayburn.

T-Bend in the late 70's to early 80's was unreal. Big schooling bass, lots of top top water action, and soft plastics were really coming on the scene.

Monticello hands down. Then some stand outs are Pat Mayse Gilmer Welsh Jacksboro

Amistad when it was hot. Like Chris said, about 12 years ago

Also agree with Paul, night fishing fork was awesome when all you needed was go getters and 10 inch worms

I had some great times on Texoma when I found the schools of smallies in the winter

Fork in the 90's was sweet.
I have always had good times on Ray Bob.

Grew up fishing Spence and Twin Buttes, my step nephew pulled a 29lbs striper out of Spence in the early 90s on a downrigger.
