You guys from Texas 2025
GAMEOVER reply :
Make me jealous. Lake Amistad what a wonderful lake, some huge fish in there. Just wow.. ive seen stuff on TV from there before but late night last night I saw some really crazy fish. Ish Monroe, KVD, etc Ish won it but wow at the 100 lb marks! You all are very lucky, take great care of a fishery like that.
Smib reply :
Our secret is definitely out but it is a huge body of water and hopefully it will be able to stand up to the pressure it's getting.

Texas fishing for me has been outright terrible! It seems that only if you have a boat, then you can catch fish. I don't have a boat so I walk the bank in pure utter disgust everyday wishing I was back in Alabama fishing the Coosa River.

Where are you located? maybe we can change that outlook and home sicknesses.

jiangtao reply :
I am in Longview Texas. Don't get me wrong. So far everyone out here has been great and very friendly. I also like the area I am in and I think that Longview is a great place to live, but not to fish. I have caught some good amount of fish out here and some nice sized ones too, but out of 3 months of fishing the good fishing constituted about 5-6 days of that time. The other days adds up to about 20-30 miles of driving to a location and nothing on the line.

I haven't forgot about you, just alot of irons in the fire. We are only about an hour and half from each other and will hook up soon.

I bought my boat in Longview about 3 months ago (I live in Texarkana). I just moved to Texas in August. I haven't made it to Lake Fork, Sam Rayburn, Toledo Bend, Texoma, Lewisville, and many others ...YET.
So you texans that are familar with these lakes, i will be hitting you up in about 2 months. 8-).
Catt reply :
After looking at your avatar you expect me to help you with Toledo Bend?

L Train, looks like your avitar needs some remodeling done. Die hard horns fan, and that don't get you much advice. LOL
When are we going fishing?

I go fishing everytime I get a chance. the only problem is in about a month my chances will be very limited until April 15th. Being an accountant and bass fishing don't go together too well. My busiest time of the year is also my favorite time to bass fish. Sundays are the only day i really get to go. I need to get my priorities straight 8-)
and to answer you question... whenever you want. I will be sporting my lucky razorback hat though 8-)
Matt Fly reply :
L-Train,
I'm a big McNutt fan. Read yesterday were parents went in to talk about their kids, the 3 Fr. from same High School, lack of playing time and they were under the impression that their sons would be involved in a pass oriented offense. 60 catches a season!
If I was coach, and had a heisman canidate in my backfield, we would have done just what he did, run, run, run. Mcfadden was one of the top backs in college next to AD of OU.
What lakes in your area are you familiar with?
Matt.
Catt reply :
L-Train,
So you just ignore the LSU fan and go straight to the Long Horns fan
You forgot who holds the Golden Boot?
Or you just aint interested in Toledo Bend?

Sorry, I was at the game in Little Rock and it still hurts. McFadden takes one 80 yards up the gut for TD. We have momentum for about 2 seconds. Then the kickoff gets returned. LSU wins by 5.
I am very interested in Toledo Bend.

it has been a cluster you know what with the hogs and everything going on this week. i am on a hog message board quite a bit and some of the rumors were ridiculous. i am right with you, McFadden should run, run, and run. but if you are one dimensional, you will get stopped. The passing game is miserable.
Millwood Lake is about the only lake around here that I somewhat know. I have fished Wright Patman, but prefer Millwood. I just moved down here about 3 - 4 months ago. i used to fish Lake Conway (AR) and the Arkansas River (Little Rock pool). Lake Conway is very underrated. it takes minimum 25 lbs to win a one day Saturday tournament on that lake (5 Fish). VERY Shallow and stumpy . if you don't know the lake, you can ruin a boat in a hurry.
I can't wait to fish Lake Fork. i think it is only about an hour and half away. Do you have any other suggestions on lakes that are within two hours of texarkana?
Catt reply :
Any time you and/or Matt want to fish the big pond let me know 8-)
If I can't met y'all I can tell where to catch em year round 
I would like to fish Fork but at night
Matt Fly reply :
I look forward to meet the both of you guys sometimes.
Matt.
guest reply :
Well, I'm just moved to Longview as well. I have lived in a town near Longview for about 17 years and am fairly familiar with the surrounding areas......Longview, Jefferson, Linden, Atlanta, Queen City, Texarkana, etc....
jiangtao----Send me a pm and I will take you fishing in some of the private ponds that I hit.

I've only fished Neely Henry a couple times with little luck. I'm more accustomed to Weiss Lake. Any info you got on either lake would be awesome!

It took me forever to find this old thread. Looks like I going to be a little closer to you Matt (see There Goes the Neighborhood thread). What lakes do you fish?
Catt, when are you coming up?
Matt Fly reply :
Pm's sent out.
Any body want my back seat on fork this weekend? Nights? early or late?
By the way, I took Tommy, aka the Catt, up on his offer in June to come fish Toledo Bend. Some others need to take him up on his offer. We did fish, we caught fish, and with Tommy's help, he gave me an area that earned me a $900.00 check that same week.
Hookem

mattm reply :
Just found this thread. Don't come to this section a lot and when I do it is usually just to check Tom's reports. Since joining i've beed a little disappointed with the number of north Texans :'(. Glad to see some people so close. I'm in Weatherford, just west of Fort Worth, would love to meet you guys sometime.
Matt Fly reply :
mattm,
Do you ever get time to fish Fork? any others?
Matt
mattm reply :
Matt Fly,
I'm in new home sales. Off on Tuesday and Wednesday. Fish as much as I can on those two days. Usually manage to get out both days. I managed to get to Fork once this year. I'm close enough that if I had a boat I would go a lot more. I grew up in a very small town. So I know quit a few people with large tanks that my fishing partner and I can take our small two man boat out on. We also recently discovered a 500-700 acre lake that almost nobody knows about that is perfect for our little boat.
AnglerNFuego reply :
QuoteI miss you mother texas :'(
Same here. I'm currently up in N. Virginia which doesn't even come close to Texas.
Matt Fly reply :
Anyone plan on hitting Fork this fall, give me an PM, I'd love to meet some more Forum members and do some fishing.
I have the Big Bass Splash in Sept. 14-16, and my schedule is fairly open after that. Lets fish!!!!!
Matt
L-Train reply :
Matt PM sent. I am up for Fork anytime.
Matt Fly reply :
I should be free early Oct, so the offer still goes to all. L-train, PM sent.
Matt

Matt, early October is gone :-? . Just kidding. Hopefully will be down there sometime late next week. I'll PM ya when I know for sure.
Matt Fly reply :
Duh, Which way did he go George? Brain took Monday off. My girl friend wants to fish The 2 of Us couples tourney on 27th on Fork.
I'll be free early Nov.
Matt
fishfordollars reply :
The real secret is Lake Falcon just below Amistad. The secret will be out in January whin the pros hit it, if thewind will let them fish, 4 day total over 140 pounds, and if just right 150 pounds. I fished a tournament three weeks ago there and two day weights were over 50 lbs to win. Had 36.97 for two days and did not draw a check.
Matt Fly reply :
Secret only to those that don't do research.
Matt
GeneinTX reply :
How much does the Mexican License cost to fish those lakes?
Matt Fly reply :
A fishing license cost 42.00 dollars on the Mexican side and 45.00 for boat permit. If you buy them on the American side, they are 52.00 and 55.00, Americans want to make something also.
Matt
fishfordollars reply :
I think I can come up with some GPS cordinates that will help you if you are going to Falcon. Falcon Lake Tackle quit selling the permits along with a lot of other things. Seems they owner got mad at some people before he died and tried to make a point. As of last week in Sept. they were not selling the mexican permits.
Matt Fly reply :
You need permits and license for Amistad also, providing you venture to the Mexican side.
Matt
NHSOutdoors reply :
You need to make it to Fork, It is one of my Favorite lakes. I have never been to some of these other lake mentioned

NHS, welcome aboard. See your posts on TFF

Jake P reply :
yall should try eagle mountain lake its just north of fort worth.
Matt Fly reply :
Quoteyall should try eagle mountain lake its just north of fort worth.
I'll try any lake once in Texas just to say I fished that lake and hopefully can add, I didn't get skunked on said lake also.
But when we have been blessed with all the other lakes in Texas, EM is not on the top or close to the top of the list.
I'm 45 minutes from Fork, Cedar Creek, Purtis Creek, and I haven't even hit traffic yet.
Maybe you can show me Eagle Mount. one day next year. I'm still needing that one for my list to have hit.
Matt
Little_Minnow reply :
Matt Fly
I am on Eagle Mountain lake. I am very new to bass fishing, but grew up on this lake and can give you some detail about it if you come this way.
Josh
Jake P reply :
greetings matt fly and little minnow my name is jake. It looks like we need to hook up and the 3 of us do some fishin'. The few times ive been to EM havent been rewarding to me for certain reasons but from what i hear its not a bad lake to fish. i would like to take a day and try it out full throttle. Im new to bass fishing so i havent been to any of the lakes you guys talk about, due to work i tend to fish the lakes that surround me...anyways, let me know what you guys think
