If you’re new to the area, Lake Lewisville is one of my favorites . . . lots of crappie, catfish, & almost every type of bass (some of the hybrids get really big). It’s big enough that you can usually find something biting if you’re willing to look. That makes it a haven for people who keep their boat in wet storage and live near the lake (homes like this one are pretty affordable, even as a lakehouse http://www.estately.com/listings/info/29-oakbrook-drive--1). Wish I knew how guys convince their wife to live lakeside . . . guess I’ll keep wasting hours on the road/dock when I could be on the water . . . .
