Thanks all, glad to be here hopefully I can learn something.
I forgot to mention my major fishing hole. We are members of a fishing club that owns it's own private lake. The club just had it's 105th annual meeting. The lake is a 300+ acre natural oxbow lake off the Trinity. It is heaven on earth to me. I've been going there all my life and I am 48 now. We try to manage it for fishing but, as it sits in the floodplain of the Trinity River, the river does get into the lake about every ten years or so. My wife, my six year old little boy and I caught a eight foot long approx. 200 pound alligator gar there last July.
It always produces good LMB, white bass, crappie and channel cats.
Here are some pics.
