Minor Lake: East Texas Trophy Bass and Crappie Paradise

Spanning approximately 50 acres and fed by natural springs, Minor Lake is one of East Texas' premier trophy bass and crappie lakes. Stocked with Florida bass and under professional guidance, this lake has delivered unforgettable fishing trips for anglers and even hosted field tests and promotional shoots for Smash-Tech Baits. Anglers can expect steady action from bass in the 2-5 lb range, with impressive catches between 8-12 lbs adding to the excitement.

Surrounded by Cypress, White Oak, and Pine trees, the lake offers not only prime fishing but also a scenic backdrop rich in wildlife, including sightings of Bald Eagles, migratory birds, deer, and wild hogs. Additionally, Minor Lake is located just 15 minutes from Daingerfield State Park, perfect for adding extra adventures to your trip.

For a comfortable stay, an adjacent Airbnb, the “Chic Barndominium,” is available, and great dining options are just a short drive away. Anglers have the use of a 14-foot flat-bottom jon boat and access to a convenient rock boat ramp, located just past the spillway about a fifth of a mile from the main entrance.

Come to Minor Lake for top-notch fishing and the natural beauty of East Texas—your next memorable fishing experience awaits!

Good Day on Minor

Chadd Guitreau on Oct 30 ,2024

Fished last Wednesday 10/23 for about 6 hours.  Caught 25 bass.  Average fish was 2.5 lbs with the big being 7.1 lbs.  Crank bait and fluke.  Great lake with some really healthy fish.   

Muddy But Active

Ford Rhodes on Oct 19 ,2024

I fishes Monday and Tuesday. Really muddy, maybe two inches of visibility. My kayak has a mud ring on it and all my line is brown. Wasn;t expecting that and I don’t know if that is typical for this lake.…

Beautiful day but SLOWWWW fishing compared to past trips.
