Planned on launching at maybe Holiday Park since I will be coming from West Ft Worth. Should I launch somewhere else based on where the better fishing spots are? Is it safe running North to South? I see all these creek arms down South end of Lake. Should I head down there? Still spawning out there?
Thanks guys, any help is much appreciated.

Mustang Park on the south end might be the only open ramp?
Stump areas are obvious

Put in at mustang leave there between tree line and bank go out around point into main lake once there you can run N/S but run just west off mid lake you will see timber on east bank and some on a line over against West Bank but you have lots clear water all the way to dam on north staying in the middle . take it easy up east arm ( Sid Richardson) till you learn lake lots stumps and shallow humps in there. good luck Benbrook can be stubborn at Times but can also put out some good fish.

What time we leaving? Fish my baits as hard as you can. Make sure you are fishing rock with hardwoods.

Hi Don, you are welcome to fish with me anytime. I am leaving out to the lake at 4pm. Call or email if you can head out.
I am taking out a family member with less experience than me. I am trying to teach him the little that I know.
Will be throwing the spinner for sure and spook towards dusk. Of course using the scents. Should I pitch the jig around the stumps there?

Stump areas are obvious Marina at Dutch Branch off 377 is open. We launched there last Saturday. Caught fish all day but keepers were hard to come by.

I'll be out there around 3 in an 88 bass tracker! If you see my dad and I let us know how you're doing!
Just trying to find the fish and get them in the boat!!!

Sorry I missed you. Had a customer to take care of. We will go soon after this Mexico trip on May 16.
Good luck, hope you catch a bunch.
