What lake...

Would y'all recommend to spend two or three days on this summer? Central to east Texas. I live in the east Dallas area, so no Falcon or anything like that. Gonna be with some family, so Cabins would be nice. I was thinking Bastrop or Limestone (if they have cabins). Thanks.

Come to Whitney plenty of places to stay. Never been to Bastrop but I sure wouldn't recommend Limestone.

Okay thanks, I have been to Bastrop, and was planning to go there, but it's a real long drive for everyone. Still thinking about it. Whitney is perfect for a spot where everyone can get to.

Fork

Sandlin

Lake of the pines

Texoma

Whitney

Fayette. Nice cabins. Plenty of fish to catch.

Your east of Dallas; go to Fork. Bastrop only has small day cabins. Limestone sucks.

Pines is actually my favorite. Wanted to try some place new. I will look into Whitney more. It's would be the best location for everyone. Thanks.

Whitney gets my vote. I dot know how many family members you'll have but Alvarado has a big house on the lake that gets rented out. It's small,low pressure, and is one of the best summer fishing lakes I've fished.

Low pressure really . 6 boats and its crowded lol. Whitney gets my vote

yah what's your definition of low pressure? The lake dosent Get hammered so yah it's low pressure. I know it's small, but it's also a Great Lake.I've seen 15+ boats at the working mans in years past with jet Fleas and ski boats. When 16 lbs plus wins with three fish and 10 dosent cash a check that's pretty good imo.I should add that the lake records bigger than Whitney's and I've caught numerous fish over 7 including a 9.7. I love both lakes but if I wanted to catch numbers or big fish you have a better chance at Alvarado.

Athens. Stay at Yammamoto's.
Fish a Great Lake one day eat the catfish dinner at the marina.
Tour the state fish hatchery the next.
Fish a Great Lake again eat a good burger at the marina.
Oh yea, and I forgot to mention there's lots of bass there to catch.

Thanks everyone. I'm fishing Athens on Saturday David. I didnt know they hard a place to stay, I will look into that for the summer.

Look at my post in the Nachonichie thread for the latest Lake Athens action from this evening (Thursday)from 5pm--8pm.

I to like this little lake as I grew up on it and have also caught some really nice fish but it does get hammered pretty good for no bigger than it is really now with Cleburne being so low and no one fishing there just IMO
