@Fishing is Fun - no problem. Us bank fishing guys have to stick together!

@Reaper - thanks for the CL spot!! I'll get it on the map. Would be helpful to know what species you're catching at this spot.

Everyone else - Need to hear more from those of you that fish that part of the state!

I dont get out there enough to know right now.
i just know that its one of the only piers open to the public for free

OK, no problem. I could assume what people could expect to catch, but I've tried to make all entries as accurate as possible in terms of location, species, etc. If anyone has fished the location and has first hand information, let me know. In the meantime, I've added the spot to the map - fist on CL! Woot!

On another topic. I've been kicking around some ideas for taking the map to the next level, perhaps adding additional features, possibly to include information like camping info, guide information, etc. I'm interested in hearing any thoughts from users on features/functionality that they'd like to see, including usability features that would improve navigation on the site, etc.

If you have any suggestions, please post them here.

Hey Kitty,

Here's a spot in Columbus that I scouted out and found some small river Guads. Its a also a launching point for canoes and kayaks.

I forgot to include:

Its the Colorado River.
I forget the name of the park.
The water was stained to clear. It seems pretty nice to also go in with waders, but the current may be too strong.

What an awesome idea and a great map. Just posted this on my facebook page and will send you a few of my favorite spots, too. Thanks for putting this together!

@MarcM - thanks, glad you like it.

This is the first I've seen of this for some reason - EXCELLENT idea!!! Great map!!

Hey guys...new to the site and i stumbled upon this earlier. Great idea KittyWomper!!!!!!

http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Jetty+Road,+Port+Arthur,+TX&hl=en&ll=29.691091,-93.843069&spn=0.008761,0.019205&sll=29.704698,-93.852468&sspn=0.00876,0.019205&z=16

I hope these spots help and get added soon. Most of these spots will yield nice sizes and numbers of fish. All of these areas have tons of places to bank fish. Just explore a little : )

Most importantly; watch the tides, use topwaters and popping corks, make sure you have plenty of gas, bait and plenty of be...i mean water : )

@SETexasTitan - great spots! Thanks for putting the Beaumont area on the map! I'll get these posted right away.

Also, to everyone on this thread. If you haven't seen it already, I just started a new group on Twitter. It's called TXFishingRpts. The idea is to use social media (Twitter) to post live fishing reports.

It's a new group, so it doesn't have a lot of followers yet, but as the number of followers increases, so will the activity. My objective is to have hundreds of followers and fishing reports coming in live from all over Texas.

To use it, you might make a posting like this example:

"Killing the Sandies on #Lewisville in 20' of water on blue/silver Kastmasters".

The "#" or Hashtag in front of the name of the lake will make it easy to find reports on the lake you are interested in.

So, add yourself as a follower and get in on the action!

Just followed from my accounts @PromoGeorge and @PromoSA!!

Also, made a quick map of San Antonio spots - noticed there weren't any!

@George - be happy to add these to the Texas Bank Fishing Map if you like. These are awesome!
