I am looking for a pond or ponds that are in the area around Plano, frisco,and surrounding cities to fish at without problems. I am a polite individual and do not cause trouble. I don;t makle a mess when I got to a pond. I just LOVE to fish for BASS and the only ponds the I have now are being trashed by people who also go there, get drunk and throw their trash into the pond. The fishing in these ponds has died off drastically and I;m getting depressed. I need ya'lls help. please throw out any info that you have. I will also pay for someone to let me fish in their tank. I will drive a good distance to go fishing. Thanks.

I have caught large fish out of all the ponds that are accessible in this map. Some are on Frito Lay property and you can fish. The one off of Tennison is still open I think..

Anybody remember the old "Fishin Hole" off I-35 and Spur 482 near the old Texas Stadium? I think that lake was originally a giant rock quarry when they made Stemmons Freeway. That body of water used to hold some nice bass. It is very deep. Last I heard they have it fenced off now.

Try Twin Lakes Park in Richardson. It's 3 blocks west of Coit on Cambell Road. Both ponds (about 3 acres each) have bass to 7.5 pounds. The north pond is deeper than the south. Not much structure but has grass and moss that can be fished It is a city park with free access. My biggest there is 5-6 pounds. I helped a guy 2 years ago weigh his 7.5 pounder. Some really pretty fish in there.
Good luck,
Jim

Thanks y'all that is great info. If anybody lives in the Plano are there is a pond of of Plano parkway at a Methodist church. it is decent fishing. I have had two different men tell me that they have caught a ten pounder out of it but i have yet to see or catch her. Been trying for over a year now.

GTexas I have fished the pond that in the rich neighborhood and caught zero so i went back and now the fenced it off

Anyone ever fished these ponds in Carrollton?
I did once with no luck, but I was only there for like 30 minutes

I have never even seen those ponds before. I'll go and try them out tomorrow.

Which ponds Rusty? Let us know how it turns out.

I went to the twin lakes ponds.Good looking ponds. No structure, lots of thick grass. On the south pond, north side of that pond 10 feet away from a metal railing i see this bare spot on the pond floor. I see this thing that looks like a 4 inch steel pipe. drop my tru-tungsten 4 inch bluegill swimbait at the spot and HOLY SHANANIGANS!!!! It was two BEASTS guarding a ball of fry. spent 4.5 hours, used every lure in both my tackle bags and......................noootthhhiiinnnggg!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Every time i put something in the water they took off and as soon as the lure was out of the water they came back. I was about to dive in after them. I don't know what to do. This has happened to me before. How do you catch these fish when they are guarding their fry or am I just an idiot. I did catch 5 bass after I gave up on those two F#%@&*!.

By the way male was at least 4 pounds and the female had to be at least 6....easy 6!

try a bass imitation type lure, they are highly cannibalistic and that may be the trigger you need. But then again sometimes you just can't get a bite no matter what.

btw that reminds me of a bad joke, two cannibals were eating a clown and one looked at the other and said "does this taste funny to you?"

So try a bass swimbait

i wonder if something like this Bagley semi-floater may work? because don't bream eat bass fry?
