I go fishing every week and today was Tom Bass Park. Here is a thourough review. Mostly focused on fishing.

Tom Bass Park III is a park in the Houston Area. They have a pond stocked with trout, channel cats, pan fish, and largemouth bass. The pond has fresh blue water and minor current waves.

I was searching places in the Houston to go fishing and came across this place and decided Id give it a shot. I came at 6:50 and the weather was great! No heat and a nice breeze. We started off on the pier, the pier is a floating pier so it moves as waves come but you dont really notice. We started tight line fishing on the left side right beside the pier. Pan fish were always getting hooked and getting off but they were biting!
I casted one with a worm and a 3/4 oz weight and it went down to the bottom. Instantly I got a bite the fish (probably a 5lb Channel Catfish) bent my rod in the shape of a U, I could barely eer real he was so big, then SNAP, he snapped off the hook, he was a HUGE fish. We pressed our luck for another hour and decided to go to the right side where the ducks hang out.

Good choice. As soon as we arrived we saw a duck with a 10" bass in its mouth and several with pan fish. Another person fishing had even caught a pirahna! We found this place about 11 feet from the bank with tons of panfish biting, we caught several of perch with a small hook, nightcrawlers, and a cork about 4 feet deep.

After we ran out of worms i wanted to try to catch some catfish so i took off the cork and hooked some minnows. The cats were biting like crazy!

The only downside to this 6 hour trip was that the turtles would always bite your bait and you'd have to unhook em i caught about 6 turtles!

All in all this was a great fishing expericence. I will probably make this my primary fishing place!

Good luck!

I wish people would quit dumping aquarium fish into area waters... introduction of invasive species!

Please don't!
