Ok posted and asked once never got much of a reply. I live in the Balch Springs/ Seagoville area and was looking for some decent bank fishing areas. Not looking for your honey whole or nothing like that just somewhere I can Catch and release some nice bass. Please and Thank you for any help and tips as well on places and maybe some baits that work in those areas.

Wow.....thanks guys for all the help. Heard this was a good place to meet friendly people and learn of new places to fish?

Bobby,
There's a link at the topic at the top of the bank fishing fourm called google texas fishing something....can't remember w/o jumping back and forth. That has helped me find tons of great fishing spots that are easily accessible from the bank. Hope that helps you out.

Where the heck is Balch Springs/ Seagoville?

Never heard of it before.

Thanks Miggz, you answered my question on the other thread as well!

Looking at Google Earth, appears you are fairly close to the Trinity River bridge off of hwy 175? That whole stretch looks fishy to me. Might be worth a day trip to hike around and find your own honey hole.

sorry dude I have no information on that area. I would check the bank fishing map on this fourm. and as others have suggested Google Earth is a good place to start.. Good luck

Hey Jig-flipper there is a free web site (Net4U.com) that give you a list of lakes up to a distance of 200 miles.There are some lakes real close by that people don`t talk about on here because they try to keep them a secret.You should check it out.Hope this helps you.Welcome to the forum man!

Thanks fishbonz and everyone else for the info. I'm just a poor workin class man that grew up fishing with my grandfather and love to still get out and wet a hook and as the name suggest flip a jig here and there. Would like to meet up with some of you guys on here if yall don't mind company.

If you want to meet some fishing buddies, follow thread and try out the bassgrabberstrail.com bank tournement. That is about as grass roots and working man as it gets. In my second year of it, and I have meet some quality guys fishing the trail.

If you don't mind a drive try Purtis Creek State Park, it is a great little bass lake and my business partner, our kids and his wife have all broken double digits from the bank there. It is just past Cedar Creek.
