Hi All,

I'm new to this forum... but thought i'd see if there are other central Texans on this site. Let's share locations of honey holes around here!

Nope, no Texans. We kicked them all out. They catch too many big bass!   :

Welcome aboard!

Welcome to the forum.

You have some great waters to choose from.

Lake Austin is pumping out some giants already this year,

Since i'm boat-less, I favor small ponds and creeks.   There are a bunch around the area holding big ole bass.  

If I find a local in this forum, I can share some sweet spots!

Spawn is almost ON!  

Happy Hookin'

Welcome!

Ugh TX, I keep seeing pictures of bass from Texas.

I wish I was in Texas...  ;D

Welcome to the site!

Welcome to the BR forums. This is one great group of guys and gals who possess a tremendous amount of bass and just plain old fishing knowledge and expertise and they happily share that with anyone who asks. BR is the best bass forum on the net, IMO:o)

Born and raised in the Austin area....Welcome to BR.

BTW, depending on where you fish, its already spawn.

Already spawned femme from Bastrop this past weekend.

not from texas, but Welcome anyways

welcome to the forum, i am in Waco and the fishing has been pretty decent around here the last couple weeks,  i fish mainly golf course ponds here locally

I'm in Houston, Texas and can't hardly catch a big bass.  Man, I hate to see how I'd do somewhere else:)

jemack.... pm'd you

WOOHOO! Another Texan! Welcome, my name is jake and im from the DFW area. There are a few Central Texas fisherman swimmin around the site somewhere. Im sure you'll be gettin some pm's here soon. Tight lines.

Glad you are with us.

As you can see, we have good senses of humor on this site but the information is extremely valuable.

As for Texas, we have a cheer at LSU when we play the Longhorns:

Wiskey Bottles,

Cigarette Butts,

We Have Texas by their......Horns!

Enjoy the site.

Welcome to the best fishing site on the net.

jemack...

I feel your pain, I lived on the south side most of my 30 years in Houston so driving to a lake was a pain.

Have you tried Sheldon? It used to be covered in lily pads and alligators but *looked* like it would hold some nice bass. I had no luck bank fishing but if I had a canoe I would probably have boated some fish.

hooker,

If you try Sheldon don't go out in a tube, I'm serious about the gators!

Yea, they're spawning on that lake because it's a powerplant lake, and has hot water discharge... I fished a tourny in a storm Feb 16th there, LITERALLY like a few days before they started...actually i think some had started, but the bad weather had pushed them off. I caught 4 doobers to weigh in though, and a few fish in the 2-4lb range.

By the way, I live near Arlington, and I go to school in College Station at Texas A&M.

Actually, Bastrop starts its spawn in mid-December. Earliest we've seen was Thanksgiving weekend a few years back.

We hit Travis this past Friday and saw a few on beds there. Temps are correct, 62-67 in the backs of coves but at sun-up, the temps were in the mid to upper 50s.

Austin is next. Should be in pre-spawn there as its waters come from the bottom of 180' deep Travis. That should last until end of May.

Central Texans have the chance to fish spawn almost 6 months of the year if you play your cards right!  8-)

Welcome!
