Looking to move (back) to Aggieland soon. Fushing experience was limited to Somerville. Any thoughts? (No boat, yet.)

Thanks
Barry

I went out a few weeks ago to test new electronics. It was a cluster around the ramp. Water is generally stained to muddy. Tpwd has been trying to make some improvements. Most recent electro-fishing survey got better results. Largemouth bass record was broken recently. I’ve seen people wear out crappie under the bridge. Tpwd stocked it redfish a few years ago. I’ve seen one redfish that was caught in a cast net but haven’t heard of anyone fishing for them. The lake has some fish and there is a bar & grill right by the ramp.

Were you in a dark colored skeeter? I was there a few weeks ago and you're right the dock was a cluster. There's not any no wake signs and people just drive right up to the dock. I'd suggest a week day if anything

as far as the fishing goes the lake is pretty plain. I saw some fish in a little pocket but there's not a lot of cover around other than reeds

No, a white and blue ranger. The ramp is not situated the best. Those fish hold onto any cover they can find. Rip rap around the shore, random tree limbs, the bridge, overflow pipe.

ya, a squarebill or something along the dams, etc is probably the best route

can also hit the man made structure they added from the bank

I've caught a few by the bridge years ago - like 30 - but that's the only place I've ever had any luck. Closest place to Northside for me back in the day, so I would go after class and as long as I caught one, I was happy. About all I'd catch, too. One.

I have absolutely been pounding fish out there, and the size is getting bigger! [Linked Image]
