Where to launch a small boat with only a trolling motor

Looking for good places at lakes to launch a small bass boat with only a trolling motor so I will need to launch really close to where I fish. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Try Squaw Creek , around December .

Without writing a book for a post, this is the best way I can help. Click the link, then the area you want to fish. Then each lake is listed and location and every public ramp on each page is listed. Pick your lake and ramp based on time of year, location, wind direction, etc

Towne Lake in Prosper!!!

Davy Crockett

las colinas canal

Try the LBJ grasslands in Decatur. A hand full of small lakes that are fun to fish.

Buck creek on Ray Roberts. Fish the bridges. Collin park on Lavon and fish around the marina. Highport on Texoma .

Talk to the kayak guys believe me they know all the good places.

Tons of great fishing at Roberts, Fork, TBend, very close to public ramps. Study maps and then treat the area you are launching as its own small lake. Don't worry about what is going on on the rest of the water body just pick apart the area you are in. I did it for years and it works great. Buck Creek, Jordan, Both State parks, Pond Creek ramps at Ray Roberts all have outstanding fishing areas very close by. If you take two batteries you can double the size of the area you are fishing.

I used to fish Little Caney at Fork in a 2 man boat. You can launch at hideaway harbor. (I think that is the name)

South lake in Farmersville. Sorry kayak guys...

at Fork Hwy 19 north over the bridge and into the campground, FM 17 Popes Landing, Williams Creek, Chaney Branch all on the west side. Like Colton said little caney out of the campground, FM 515 east ramp and stay on the north bank, good coves all along there.

Thank y’all so much!

We just follow the glitter boats and fish in boat lanes mostly. Shhhhh. That is our secret.

south lake in Farmersville is good.

Are you legal with your registration?

Still good fishing at South Lake in farmersville? I used to go there when I had a small boat and lived in the area.

Yes.

Has anyone been to Purtis Creek lately?
We used to go up there with small boats from College Station and smash em, but I know TPWD has been jacking with the grass few years ago

Lake Clark in Ennis. On a calm day, you could cover the whole lake with trolling motor.

I used to go launch at Chandler's Landing on Ray Hubbard and just whack the snot out of the fish there in the marina.

Or there's my favorite.....

If it’s small enough to handle without a boat ramp (and not fiberglass) go on over to Grapevine and find a spot close enough to drop and carry/drag to the water and get after them in the flooded trees and brush.

Lady Bird Lake in downtown Austin is a no-gas-motor lake, but lots of good fish are taken there by guys with kayaks and pond prowler-style boats. Urban fishing at it's finest.
