Haven't been since it had walleye in there, late 80's or early 90's?
Looking at 2/23-2/24. What do I need to know? Thanks

Do a search and you find more advice than you could ever want.
Fish are there just running smaller this year.
Make you reservation thru Luminant and check for tournys on the 24th.

Lake as a whole has been tougher. This year has been better than ever flipping timber. Drop shot & c-rig deep has been my go to techniques. Points near spawning flats. All the 5+ lbs bass I’ve caught out there this year have been deep on a drop shot.

this right here.

Look for bait. I mainly fish deep out there and it's been kind of slow compared to years past. good luck

Don’t worry about all the drama those people need to see if Luminant is hiring for a boat ramp director job!! You pay your 30 you have all the right to do whatever is you see fit just go fish and have fun!

There are 4 lanes and plenty of bank space to pull up if need be. @ courtesy docks to pick up your partner. Just use common sense and good etiquette!
