Live like 20-25 minutes from that hammerly one, never knew it existed. Probably because im never on that side of town. Remember playing basketball there years back, I was the only cracka out there lol. There are a ton of ponds in brookshire, however i dont have access to some of them anymore. Anyone ever fished the ponds behind hwy6/addicks on the south side of I-10. U walk up that hill by that stop n go (or sumthing) store. like half way between I-10 and west oaks mall?

Meatkutter,

Is that spring fed pond open to the public?

Here's my trade: A good place to catch channels (that is when it hasn't been raining for 2 months) is Langham Creek @ Bear Creek Park. There's lots of access points to that creek around the park. I've caught channels up to 5 lbs. Patterson road has a nice spot also on the south side of the park. There's lots of trailway parks all the way down south from there down to Buffalo Bayou. I've never tried to eat anything out of that creek but have talked to some folks who have and they claim the cats taste fine. I think I'll stick to my Somerville supply for now. Most of that park is probably flooded at the moment and Patterson has been shut down for weeks.

There's a little pond in a shopping center on 59 south that I've seen but have not fished. It's across the parking lot from a Sam's Boat.

Oh yeah, there's a thread on the site somewhere (I think the whitebass section?) which points out some good access points for Spring Creek in NW Houston.
