I'll be fishing the north end of the lake tonight. Any tips for that area? The plan is to hit a couple of BPs around reynolds and airport.

sorry rocknbass, i usually do not fish around there very much, there is some deep water all around the shore there. Let us know if you catch anything.

between 3 of us, we had 7 keepers. a LOT of short fish were caught though, which made it a fun night. the areas that produced the better fish were in shallower water (10-11ft). all were caught on jigs, color didn't seem to matter much. i don't know any spots near the swim beach, but if you could find some piles in areas like that I think you could put some nice keepers in the boat.

The water on Waco is usually around 2' visibility. However heavy rain and wind will muck it up fast. Their are tons of 9" fish rite now, and very small shad everywhere. I think in a couple years it will be one of the best crappie lakes in the state. Just my opinion.

ditto..big possum

me and a few buddieswent out saturday nite got out around 730 pm went to the old dam and sat on top of it we got 38 keeper, and the moved to the old highway 6 road bed and 15 keepers and 7 big white bass and we had some frozen shad that we hung 3 blue that was about 2lbs and headed in at 230 am ........ the trick was the floating lite in the water we had ton of shad and minnows at the lites

thanks for the report johnson, I have never fished the old dam or the road bed, but i hear alot of folks catch fish there, did you guys make it to the bubbles?

Yeah our little gem of a lake is gonna be a diamond by spring I think in the crappie department. Hopefully by then my motor will be on the boat and I can visit that old damn and the bubbles too...been a while but I haven't been doin to shabby in our spot...roll on...

yep
