Texarkana Tx             in east texas


Recommended Posts

I lived up there a few years back and loved fishing the spill way where the water is discharged.  I think that is the sulphur river discharge.  When the sand bass start boiling at the top of the water chasing shad, go out there with a small torpedo topwater, I add a little weight to it to increase cast distance, and just rip it real quickly across those schools and you will catch one everytime.  not much of a challenge but it is fun.  And as far as patman itself, i had some good luck with crappie out their but not much else.  It is a very muddy lake, like you said.

I grew up there in Texarkana.  I remember going to the spillway casting the castmasters and reeling in fast to keep on the surface and catching the crap out the sandbass.  What fun that was.  I catfished on Wright Patman.  I haven't fished there in almost 20 years.

I would make a few trips up to Millwood. The lake is a great fishery and its only 30 minutes from Texarkana. I was working in Texarkana for a week and bank fished Millwood every afternoon and caught some nice ones. The whites were thick below the spillway but i caught all of the blacks along the grass with frogs and spinnerbaits.

Watch out for the gators! I had a big one cruise up on me!

I heard alot about Millwood but never went.  I also had some good luck setting jugg lines at Lake Bringle .  Its down on Richmond road (go north) and take a right at Scott Wright Road, it ends into the lake.  Set some live perch on jugg lines head towards the north end of the lake and throw em out along the cattails cant miss it.  Worked everytime!  I miss that place it was right down the road from my Dad's shop that I worked at after highschool, Kwik Kar Lube and Tune.  Jeez, time flies that was back in 03!

Here is a pic of the lake
