Guys y'all need to go fish if weather permits ,I would love to but can't.

Pop and I Wanted to Fish This but the Lower Unit on my Boat
is Broke rite now,Hope to get it fixed soon.
Is Creekside Sports on the lake. Can we transport Live Fish
in Our Livewells or do all fish need to be cooler fish
because of Zebra mussels.
Good Luck All

Good question , I did not think of that ..

We do not have a issue with zebra mussels here?? We are about 3 miles from lake? Not sure what your talking about? More info Please!! Bye the way you could just use a trolling motor!!! Lol

No Zebra Mussels in palestine YET!!

What County are you in. I think the Law says you are not allowed
to transport water by the County. It does not matter what Lake you Fish.
Not Trying to Be a Bummer but it is something we have to think about,
and I want to Fish this.

Thanks

Help Us Salsa?

OK, Looks like its all Clear,as long as we don't cross those Counties. Here are the rules from TPW

Rules to Prevent Spread of Zebra Mussels

Updated December 10, 2013: In the state�s ongoing effort to combat the spread of invasive zebra mussels, new rules require that all boats operating on public water in 17 Northeast Texas counties be drained after use.

Persons leaving or approaching public water in the affected counties are required to drain all water from their vessels and on-board receptacles. This applies to all types and sizes of boats whether powered or not, personal watercraft, sailboats, or any other vessel used to travel on public waters.

The rules apply on all public waters in Collin, Cooke, Dallas, Denton, Fannin, Grayson, Hood, Jack, Kaufman, Montague, Palo Pinto, Parker, Rockwall, Stephens, Tarrant, Wise, and Young counties. Lakes Belton and Stillhouse Hollow are covered by an emergency rule extending these same water draining requirements to Bell and Coryell counties.

Applicable in all areas where boats can be launched, the regulation requires the draining of live wells, bilges, motors, and any other receptacles or water-intake systems coming into contact with public waters. Live fish cannot be transported in water that comes from the water body where they were caught, personally caught live bait can be used only in the water body where it was caught, and no off-site tournament weigh-ins would be allowed if live fish are being transported in water from a water body in one of the affected counties.

Anglers may transport and use commercially purchased live bait in water provided they have a receipt that identifies the source of the bait. Any live bait purchased from a location on or adjacent to a public water body that is transported in water from that water body could only be used as bait on that same water body.

At this time there is not an issue with the counties that Lake Palestine sits on.

Great!! Come on guys I here all these stories about all the big fish and who's who come out and show us what you got!! Weather going to be good!!

Big fish I thought we were channel cat fishing ? Might need to rethink strategy now

Is this a banker tourney just wondering couse I'd love to join I just don't own a boat

I do not have a issue with that as Long as you stay within 25yrds of partner and you stay on lake Palestine. All boats pick 2 boat ramps to use and that's where they are expected to be. So you would have to list your areas you will fish. The main reason for this rule is safety. if something happens we know the area you are in. We will open tomorrow morning at 5:00am. Come by for some coffee and donuts and get signed up.
