A fair afternoon on Converse Lake.

Went to Converse Lake to see how the recent rains have helped it. The Lake is in good condition and has filled up a lot since I was last there in October. I fished from 3pm till 5:30pm and located some small Gills. Caught ten of em fishing off of the bottom using worms. Also caught a small bass about 10 inches in length. Fish were in pretty good shape. All were caught on ultra light tackle and were released to fight again. A simply way to just relax.

Nice Gill and a good report. I was just wondering how that Lake was doing. Glad to see it coming back. I love those trees that are in that lake.

Thanks Gitter. I think those trees provide some great cover for a lot of those fish. That is one reason it keeps a good population of Gills and Bass. Providing we keep getting some decent rain this winter Converse Lake should be super this spring.

How deep is that lake?

I heard 8 to 10 feet. It is very similar to Live Oak Lake. Just smaller.

Both Converse and Live Oak lakes have some great tree lines and tree cover. I agree. If we keep getting some decent rain those two lakes will be super this upcoming year.

Good decent rain will help a lot of fishing spots. Keep praying for a lot more.

Nice Looks like it's coming to the level now.

Very nice Banker

Glad to see you found time to get out, relax and catch some fish

Thanks guys for the replies. "Tun3R": If we keep getting some decent rain throughout the winter Converse Lake should be Awesome this spring.


Robert: Nothing beats a little bit of fishing time.

BAF,

Do you ever fish the other Converse Lake, off of Mesquite?

You talking about the one all the way down to Topperwein rd ? Near football field ?

Yes...

"DR" I have fished that lake several times. The last time I fished it was this past summer. Usually get the same type of fish and quality of fish at either lake. I fish the park lake the most because it is closer and super easy to get to.

Seen some super reports from olelucky from those twin lakes . Few gills upto 10" .

There are Huge Gills and Bass in both of those lakes.

Last time i visited that place it was cold day ! Olelucky caught some nice bass ,Fred and i got some regular small gills . It was hard time out there . Hopefully spring will be good.

Thanks for the info!

Speaking of rain I just had a long super shower just now. Looked at the rain meter and it was right at .24". Still raining.

Nice catches BAF. Yep that rain is doing us some good.

Thanks Don. These local community ponds and creeks are looking super good. I just checked my rain meter and it is showing just under one inch of rain over the last four hours. It is still raining hard.

It's been raining here since 6PM-now.

If this Z-Pack kicks in I hope to be fishing soon.

Glad the rain is helping out the water bodies out there! Nice going Chuck

Thanks Peyton. This rain has really helped the area bodies of water. I got just right at an inch on my rain meter. If we get a good wet winter spring and early summer fishing should be fantastic.

Nice Report Chuck. Looks like the area bodies of water are doing super. Like it has already been said. "I hope this winter is a WET ONE.

Thanks Curtis. Looks like all the local spots are doing great. As for the wet winter we are off to a good start. I hope we get a lot more rain through the rest of the Sate.

I checked the Salado Creek and it is full with a fast current. Very muddy on the banks. Would not fish it for at least several days until it drys out some.
