its not a crappie house they are slips go west on i 20 to ranger exit 349 fm 2461 go across interstate go through red flashing light and there is a big sign on the right that say lamancha lake ranch they cabins net to the slips and rv hook ups for a reasonable rate

no sense going all the way to ranger. Exit in Eastland. Go untill you see a sign for the Dam. Turn left follow road across the dam. On top of the hill there is an old store on the right and La Macha Ranch Resort entrance on the left. Shouls be quicker than going to Ranger from Big Spring.

im sorry i didnt look at your location assumed you were coming from ft woth

Entrance is across from a small store/restaurant. That small store has minnows. Just go in entrance and keep driving till you see the boatslips. Costs five bucks a person. You can also get minnows at the La Mancha office, but usually no one is there till late afternoon on Friday. After that they are there all weekend. If you pay at the office, they will often let kids fish free given their attention span. Office phone is 254-647-3651. If you want to stay over the weekend, they have RV hookups and rental cabins. Here's a map..

Thanks folks. Great info. Will be putting it to good use
next wkend.
Is it generally a decent place for Crappie this time of year.
"Wifes" question. I just want to go!!
Thanks again.'

Mo' info is a lot better than mine LOL. Fishing could be great this weekend. Ususally starts firing up the later it gets into december. First two slips to the right and left generally produce well. Usually fish are equal on minnows and jigs. After the morning bite move out to the fourth slip on the left as you face the lake. It is deeper water and that is where the minnows work the best.

Equal on minnows and jigs???????

Wow, I would hate to be sitting there all day with minnows while I watch everyone else catch fish!

fish killer is right we have been going down there for a while and jigs seem to do better than minnows! yeah they still catch fish but the number of fish caught jigs to minnows is pretty high either way take the family and have a good time

Well I guess things have changed since the days that I fished there every weekend. Don't get to go but maybe twice a year now. Have this years trip scheduled for the end of January. I personally do not use minnows but have seen people be very successful there over the last 15 years.

well the past couple of years ive gone just about every weekend from oct to feb it seems that the jigs work better but there have been days where minnows kicked our butts but no matter where you go there is always some that catch em on minnows and others on jigs me and chris try to make it every weekend ,we like fishin down there becuase ther are some big crappie and that water is deep

Thanks again for all yalls help!
What can of action can we expect?
Oh yeah one more. Are the slips lighted or do we need to
bring laterns?
Thanks Bittercreek.

are the slips open 24 hrs? i plan on going sunday morning. sounds like i'll need to get there early.

there open 24/7 and lighted too, honor box on the left of the walk way 5 bucks to fish have fun i might be there sat and sun

man i hope i can sneak out this weekend. i'll definitely be out there the following weekend and a few times the last week of dec.
