Going to lake Palestine for the first time in mid October any tips on locations and baits Thanks

It’s low, be careful. Bite has been off for a little while now, but hopefully the fall bite is starting to pick up.

Just got to Flat Creek and fish to your strengths. Be prepared to tear something up. That's a guarantee.

Be bloody careful, especially mid lake N. Sand bars and an incalculable number of stumps. Catch it right and it's a heckuva lake.

Tear up fish or equipment?

Thanks for the advice guys much appreciated.

There are those who believe Flat is worse than Kickapoo or the Neches to get into. Many a boat has been torn up getting in there.

Alternatively, flip docks in Ledbetter or Saline Bay and near-by Points/Pockets using shallow-medium cranks. Should get you bit at least.

Flat Creek is a 45 minute idle to get all the way to the back, it’s not impossible to do, just a slow trek. You’ll bounce off plenty of stumps but if you trim your motor up and go easy it’s not that big a deal. I try to hug the West Bank. I’ve seen people go in there full throttle up on plane, they’re way braver than me. I guess I’m lucky, I’ve never hung up on a stomp I couldn’t get off of.

If his Palestine chip is anything like his Tawakoni chip it's well worth the money. I have tve Palestine version but have not used it on the lake yet.

I hate going to that lake, especially in a new boat, I know it is a good fishing lake, also hate having to idle for miles to get somewhere.

Fish it all the time. If it were me, i would fish boat docks! North end got sprayed about a month ago. Lake is a little low, so treking up north is gonna be rough!

I've got the Palestine chip. Worth the money but it's still rolling the dice if you run up north - guide lanes or not.

I bought the chip for my first trip out there last month. There is no way I would run those lanes up north at the current water level except for the one pipeline that is south of the power lines. Hell about a 40 yard stretch of one lane was on dry ground.

Obviously you use common sense during low water.
