Going here for a couple nights with my girlfriend over our spring break..never fished this area before. I'm from north texas, and have not fished freshwater since I brought my boat down.

Would like to catch some crappie/sacalait and was wondering some good areas of the river to target. Also, if anyone has been catching anything here, what colors/size/depth/water clarity were you fishing in/with? Hell, even a nice mess of bluegills would be cool.

Will be there from monday-wednesday, supposed to have some good weather.

Will be my girls first time camping, wanna show her a good time on the water too.

FOOL......FOOL.....FOOL

Calling on Huntin Fool....

He can help you........He "owns" the river. Well....almost.....he live on the river.....a mile or so from the state park.

just got off the water from smoking bass.
We've been smoking the bluegills. Sac a lait literally disappered..

How bigs your boat?
Seems i helped somebody last year from Texas about this time. Who also stayed at SHJSP, but the weather sucked for them..

I have a 16' 1980 Lowe modified V hull with a 1976 johnson 40hp.

How big were the bluegill you were catching?

What us up with yall and them V hulls from texas! lol, last year i helped a family with a V hull.

Our blue gills, are about hand size, and smaller. Chikapin (mix between bluee gill and white perch i guess) are a bit bigger then the bream.
Yesterday i had 16 bass all 1 lb-3.5
This morning i fished for hour and a 1/2 and had 5 fish.

Send me a message on here, i don't like posting to much info on this place..
