Water temp: cold

Outside Temp: cold

Wind: constant 5-10

I grew up fishing lakes in the Midwest and we'd always say that the northern part of the lake is the warmest.  Not sure if that holds true in Texas but I decided to fish the north side of the pond today. Glad I did. I was there for 6 hours and went around the lake twice.

I caught 0 fish on the dam side of the pier (both sides). I caught 15-20 fish on the opposite north "ish" side of the pond. Best 5 were at 21lbs w 5.5 being the biggest.

I'm fishing there Monday, so your info on the fish being in the shallow end is useful.  Thanks.  My last two trips have also resulted in fewer fish near the dam.  Without revealing secret lures, what general type of lures were working; plastics, crankbaits,...?       John

Gents,

No secrets here. The cover on the shallow side (the one by the pier and then just off the pier) were active. I caught my two largest underneath the big tree (w base submerged) on the shallow side and the black drainage pipe on the northwest side. White frog was active, square bill crank, and 10 inch brown worm. Good luck guys!
