Damn you where right!! i only fished the main lake for about 1 hour behind the rec center right off the little dock on each side and poped 4 bass, biggest one was only about 3 lbs but better then them little 1 lber's in the creek that take 2 hours to catch lol

hey jesse, could we put a lil jon boat w/ a lil trolling motor in bachman?...

I heard you could put a boat in there. I will be heading out there tomorrow in the morning. I hope i have the luck like you did big time bass. What were you using.

I Was Useing A 5" black and blue mad mans lizard...

i tryed throwing some bigger baits but after 30 min's i dident even get a hit, so i changed to a smaller bait and workd it very slow 3erd cast with the smaller bait "BAM" I got a hit

so you can say in 30 mins got 4 bass, the key is small bait if your useing plastics, if your useing hard baits i dont know i hardley use them i love fishing plastics it just works better for me. but anyway, let me know what time your going to be up there i might wet a line also, i only live across the street from bachman so i can be there in no time lol

john boats are ok there is a max HP on outboards (5hp) and the rowing club has priority on the lake thru some kinda deal they worked out with the city so stay out of there way!btw those fish will hit hard baits,just need to be shallow divers or you will end up making alot of donations,don't ask me how I know!

i figuard thay will hit hard baits but i just dont really use em

i just like the THUMP on a plastic LOL HETS MY WHEELS SPINING

i guess iam going to find me a little jon boat

if you in a jon fish the bank on your left when facing the lake all the way to the dam.. bass haven right there . big time if you go even smaller you may double your ratio , just saying . im hitting on 12 lb test , bait castin 3 inch creature baits with a 1/16 oz bullet weight using pretty slack line with the rod in the 8oclock position pointing toward my cast and twitching it twice and usinf half a turn at a time .

JESSE.. yah i was even thinking of droping down to a even smaller bait but the wife called and wanted to go eat out "ERR DAMN WOMEN" lol so had to run home. but any way since i know the fishing is good on the main lake i'll start fish'N it everyday cause i only live across the street.

just thinking?... i would like to get a few of the guys on lake bachman and do a little 4 hour bank trny?... but i dont know?..

Thinks for the info i will be there at 7 sharp. So what part of the lake are you fishing. On northwest hwy of across the lake by the airport.

well i fished on the NW Hwy side be hind the REC CENTER on each side of the little dock, but if you really want good info you will probly see a guys named "Rudy" there he knows that lake very well this was only my 1st time fishing the main lake today but iam guessing the damm and where the boat launch is good


Iam going to lewisville fishing bardge right now cause thay are KILLING THE CRAPPIE AND BASS so iam headin down there if i dont come home late ill probley be at bachman lake in the "Mornning" if not ill be there for that late afternoon bite heheh

if any one wants to catch some nice size crappie meet me at the Lewisville bardge there killin"eM Yay hehe

alright cool. man the crappie must be biting everywhere cause at joe pool yesterday i seen this guy catch like 12 in like 15 min. Good luck out there.

I fish out there almost every week day at lunch. I work at Southwest HQ so I am only a couple miles away. I personally have found the creek to be difficult. I have had better luck in the middle of summer up there when the water temps get higher and the fish are looking for some shade. Right now I am fishing shallow bouncing Strike King Mini spinner baits in white or chartreuse. I am bouncing the baits off of any wood I can see and pausing for a second after coming over the top. I am getting most of my fish that way. I am mainly sticking to the side of the lake that parallels NW highway. A little later in the spring Ill start moving over towards the dam area using spinner baits and soft plastics. I use downsized baits mostly. I have tried larger baits but it seems that I do better on the smaller ones. If you are out there at lunch and see a guy in a green hat that says SWA on it and a badge around my neck, come say hi!

sbursi, thats what i was talking about i fished bachman with a 7 " plastic and nothing as soon as i downsized to a 4" lizard i poped 4 bass in under 30 minutes, but iam going to start fishing there all the time.
