I don't have a boat so these big lakes are pretty hard for me to fish since I'm not used to those kind of waters. I fished a lot on rivers ponds and creeks back home. Anyone have any advice as to where I can hook into some nice texas bass from a shore or a good pond somewhere. I'm currently in arlington. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Also if there's a good place where I can catch some nice flathead I love catfishin too! I got angling fever and it can only be cured one way! Last edited by Mepps1991; 04/28/14 07:07 PM.

Lake Tawakoni Ray Hubbard Lake Fork Joe Pool Lake Eagle Mountain Lake Check out more in the bass and catfishing section. �Everyone should believe in something; I believe I�ll go fishing.�

Lots of accessablity through the trinity trails, and should be about 15-20 minutes from you. Welcome to Texas! Glad to hear you got here as fast as you could Fight 'em till hell freezes over, then fight 'em on the ice
