"They were biting yesterday" Due to health and a fixed income, I don't have a chance to fish often like I once did so it is hard to keep up with the pattern. They should be moving in to spawn and I would love to see these kids catch some fish and if anyone knows a place we can go I would appreciate it very much.

I’m not around Fort Worth much, but if you give the kids some nightcrawlers and go to a marina you’ll probably get some bluegill! Good luck sir

Rocky creek park , but it’s a long walk , within the next 2 weeks , longhorn park , the cove south of the boat ramp as well , both on Benbrook.
Weatherford fishing house and rocks along the sidewalk , now and in the near future.
Mineral wells state park , the fishing docks real soon too.
Lake Arlington dock by the boat ramps .
The crappie spawn is often, hit it big or miss by a mile , that’s a fact …..just saying
Some of the private HOA lakes are full of slabs , some are going shallow now too ….
Lake worth casino beach courtesy dock , mix of fish .
About any rip rap on any local lake currently as well.
No spot is totally on fire currently every day, the fronts change the bite daily
2 more weeks should change that report dramatically….

Some good ideas above. You might also try Britton Park on Joe Pool Lake. I've never fished it but it's a pretty shallow area so they will probably be in there soon. Also, it's free and plenty of bank access.
