2. With fishing season in full swing many are
questioning, where to go and what to fish for...

3. Lake Amistad
Rio Grande, TX
Described as a one of the best, Lake Amistad is a prime
location for Bass, Catfish and a small array of Sunfish.
Due to its choppy structure, Lake Amistad is extremely
deep and can be fished by anglers of all types. Lake
Amistad has produced astonishing weigh­in totals in
competitions and is sure to impress. If you catch the lake
on a day when the water is clear, you are set for success!

4. Choke Canyon Reservoir
Three Rivers, TX
A fully stocked home to Bass and Catfish, Choke Canyon is located just
outside San Antonio. Choke Canyon can attribute its fishing success to the
large amounts of vegetation throughout its 26,000 square feet of surface
area. However, when fishing at Choke Canyon be cautious as it is the
westernmost point of range for the American Alligator.

5. Lake Fork
Quitman, TX
Located about 2 hours east of Dallas, Lake Fork is a Bassmaster’s
paradise. With 15 Texas State Records for Largemouths, Lake Fork is a
must fish location in all of the southern part of the country. Lake Fork’s
shoreline measures in at just about 315 miles with a surface area of
almost 28,000 square feet. That leaves plenty of room for everyone to
enjoy. Catch a nice day on this lake and enjoy big catches at any time.

6. Lake O’ The Pines
Jefferson, TX
Also known as ‘“The Pines”, this lake is situated conveniently
close to Louisiana, Arkansas and Oklahoma making it one of
the premier locations in the South. This lake is home to Bass,
Catfish and Crappie all of which can be fished in the fall and
spring. The Pines is known for providing thick hideouts for
Bass which creates for an exciting fight in the Bass.

7. Cedar Creek Lake
Trinidad, TX
This lake is known as one of the best locations for Bass fishing in the entire
country. Cedar Creek Lake is a short drive from the Dallas/Fort­Worth area
making it a great location for anglers not wanting to drive far for prime fishing.
Although it is heavily populated with houses, this lake is home to White Bass and
Blue Catfish as they are known to be the most prominent species. It is important
to know to fish the southern part of the lake as this is the hot spot.
