If you were gonna key in on one lake close to fort worth and really try to learn the lake, which one would you choose?
Lately I have been going to different lakes but have limited success because I don't fish it that often...I am ready to pick a lake and see if I can learn and improve on it. Thanks for any input you guys have

WOW, are you serious? Hard to fish and not that good of a largemouth lake? Whens the last time you were on the lake? It routinely puts out 18-24lb bags from spring to fall.

Thanks for any input you guys have Depending on what part of Ft Worth you live in, will depend on what answer I give you. South Ft Worth - Pool / Arlington / Benbrook North/West - Lake Worth / Eagle Mtn North/East - Grapevine / Lewisville

I've got a buddy that fishes Lake Arlington and has a lot of success there. An 8, 6, and several 4's in the past two weeks.
you know, nothing wrong with seven men who met on the internet going for a swim together

Lake Alvarado is super small, but lots of fish and easy to get to if you live in south Ft. Worth. I hooked one last week that ran under the boat and all I could do was to hang on and listen to it peel off drag. It jumped and the line went limp. We've caught lots of fish there over the years.

I would pick Ray Roberts hands down but I don't know if you consider 45 minutes to an hour too far from Fort Worth.
If so, Grapevine would be my next choice. I have had better luck at those two than anywhere else.
PBs LMB- 11 lbs., 7 oz. Falcon Striper- 40 lb. Long Is. Sound BlueCat- 30 lb. Texoma Hybrid-8.2 lb. Lewisville Cutthroat Trout-22" Yellowstone R, WY Rainbow Trout- 21" Blitzen R, OR Steelhead- 8 lb. Umpqua R, OR Redfish-20 lb. Panama C. Bay, FL

Pool has me absolutely stumped. I really like EM, but havent figured it out this spring. Arlington always seems to be hit or miss. Only been out on grapevine a few times and had moderate success. Ive been wanting to try Benbrook too...Im right in the center of fort worth so most of the lakes you guys mentioned arent too far, 20 mins isn't a big deal.
