Started fishing the lake in the early 70's.
I learned to bass fish on both Calaveras and Braunig and the bass fishing was unbelievable!
People will find it hard to believe, but Calaveras was a top destination as a bass lake in Texas back then, and even was written up in B.A.S.S. and mentioned more than a few times in articles.
I'll keep my memories of the bass fishing back then, and everyone else can keep those transplanted redfish!
It was also one fantastic crappie lake, and thank you to TPWD for stocking those Florida strain bass, but they blew it with everything else they dumped into the lake.
Oh, and I would be amiss if I didn't also thank CPS for killing all the grass and duckweed, coontail moss that never returned.
If you ever had over 75 to 100 schooling bass smash a topwater lure on the edge of a grass line at high noon in July in 100* sunshine weather, you don't know what you are missing.
