Took the family for a morning of fishing to this serene ranch just outside Waxahachie and was pleasantly surprised by how well it was kept up. 

It included a boat ramp and a floating dock; both good areas to fish from with youngsters. We fished for roughly 4 hours from the ramp, floating dock, the bank, and using the paddleboat to get into some deeper areas, and unfortunately caught only 1 crappie (roughly 4 inches).

We did change our lures frequently since we took several rods out there, and unfortunately did not get bites like we’d hoped for. The pond water was also pretty low, but that's understandable considering our record breaking heat. Despite not catching more fish, the family had a great time practicing their casting and paddling. The kids really enjoyed it regardless of the catch.

Next time  try china grove, lake side or six o.  A loaf of cheap white bread.  Those kids will have a riot catching monster blue gills.    I make sure that I put fish on their lines to keep their interest.  Plus at those locations They have caught bass from the docks.  I either let them fish from the dock or use a boat if available.  As there are hazards for kids fishing from the bank.
