buck creek area up around the bridges and down towards the lake in the timber along the channel probably has some fish in it right now
the spawn may be going on in there quite well right now or even past prime .....
have not heard much about there recently ....used to go there quite a bit back when
the corp piles always seem to hold a few out on the main lake as well
I would love the COE brushpile data.
a map is available somewhere or you might just google it , i have been told its not very accurate and the piles are close but not on the exact coordinates . there is an old boy named ernest paty in these parts that sometimes gives away the exact coords though

I've noticed you seem to be the local crappie master on here and the tx crappie & bream... site.
I've also deduced you and I are not far apart (FTW area).
Grapevine will be my home lake, if the water gets back to normal and if the fish settle back into their normal patterns. Meanwhile, I'll hunt bridgeport, mineral wells sp, grandbury, and ray roberts.
My experience on Benbrook is southern end-rocky creek area, 25 yrs ago with an ex spouse involved (bad memories, and she got my boat) .
Anyway, one of these days, I expect that we'll meet in person on water.
Oh, how did you train your turtle to point out crappie?
I have a dachshund that is worthless at finding fish ...

well I don't know about being a crappie master but I do chase them pretty often with my buds . I used to do Grapevine when I was a younger fella back in the day but don't go up that way much anymore .
but yes we may very well come across one another . Bridgeport is so over full I don't go up there , Mineral wells state park got muddy last year and stayed that way ....REAL muddy ....Ray Roberts was my thing a few years ago but I don't go up that way much anymore either .
the Brook can be very good for large fish if you know the patterns and when not to go ...
Granbury has been very muddy lately as well ...
I hit several other lakes though so drop me a pm sometime ...have a great day
The map I provide WITH coordinates I got directly from Ernest Paty. I posted earlier about this.
Ernest was selling his "newest" GPS coord's not too long ago and a few people paid hard cash for them. I doubt anyone will give you the new coord's unless you pay.
Heck is there any lakes left that are not all muddied up. I know Toledo Bend has been off color ever since the big flood and the gates got open big time. All that water coming through here is just not normal. Always have some, but nothing like the last 2 years and this year the lake has been way full way early and the sun never fired up the Hydrilla which also helps clean the water. It stinks, but is what it is! Only guys catching here are fishing minnows and as of 3 weeks ago they were already fishing tops in water depth of 20' to 25'. Use to be I could still catch crappie in the Hydrilla all the way into the first week of June, but it's been a while since that was the case!
