Thinking about hitting Arlington Saturday Morning,can anyone supply any info on crappie,taking my Step Mom out,wondering where to fish and what they are biting.

Welcome to the forum! Arlington has crappie in it. The south end is real shallow, hopefully it's come up a little bit. Good luck!

Did you ever get out to Athens and find the bass?

Thanks,no have not yet got out to athens just got boat back from shop,Im ready to go soon I hope

Id bet they are in full swing out there.

Thanks,any ideas on where to fish

Fish the south end shallow with minnows if you can get your boat in village creek they are in there.

Ok Sounds great I'Ll give it a try.

Thanks a Million

I live right down the street from Lake Arlington, and I always see people hanging out on the docks, but Im not sure what the success rate is... I couldn't tell you how many white bass I've taken up there and given away after cleaning a haul from Denton creek, and got tired o cleaning, lol. I'm thinking of picking up one of those underwater lights, and tossing one of these new Slab-Me-Silly jigs that just arived in my mailbox...

Thanks for the info

To get into the creek by boat you need to find a crossing point from the east side to the west side of the lake. There is one, and if you have a pretty good nav system (mine is a HB 898) you can find it just past the south ramp. If you can't find it you'll not be able to get back there from the east side (ramp side) of the lake.

That said, last week I tried to get to the creek. I was unsuccessful due to some sand bars that had shifted further into the lake.

Grenadaslabs seems to be able to get there cause he lives on the lake near the creek. Maybe this rain yesterday will allow better access. If someone knows of a better access route, I'm all ears.

I see boats down there everyday so there should be plenty of water to get down here

my bad, I guess.

Boats have been going to the creeks for weeks. There are channels that run next to the bank. Should have no troubles if you follow your depth finder... or look at a navionics map before you get out on the water.

I was thinking about spending some time up at LA here this weekend. Never fished there before. I went up there last night and spoke with a guy, he said he never limits. Is that true, are catches slim there? Is there a way to increase yields?

BTW, I'm bank fishing.
