Does anyone know of any good fishing spots in the BCS area? me and a buddy have been searching out a few spots but we havent had any luck yet. football related because offseason sucks

I hear there's a lot of nice fish on Southside - secret spot I have called "the commons"

Mostly use plastics, too.

Gibbons Creek Reservoir. Little Brazos.

In college station there is no fishing.

fun fact: all bodies of water on public land in cs are stocked.

Lake Somerville is where we'd always go...We'd hit up Lake Limestone on the Marquez side as well..

Right about now the white bass should be running in the creeks that flow into Lake Sunmmerville. I can't remeber the names but one starts with a Y.

Fish camp

Yegua Creek

When I went to A&M the Texas A&M turf farm had two small lakes. I approached them and received permission to fish. I offered to stock one of the lakes with some florida bass and forage. They said "go for it" and by my Sr. year I was catching 5-7lb bass.

I think the property was sold and no idea how the drought impacted the lakes. Actually I just went to google earth and one of the lakes is labeled "Smith Lake". West Harvey Mitchell and North of 21. The image is obviously near peak drought and it doesn't look pretty.

The other place I received permission from was a tree farm on the way to Millican. Looked at it on Google Earth as well and it looks like it was nearly dry.

I see a Lake Prescott that I never knew existed between CS and Navasota. Doh! Looks nice and the link below says it is a public lake. Like all lakes in the drought it lost a lot of acreage but looks to have had plenty of depth to salvage the fish.

Wonder if that other lake you can see on the link Lake Arapaho is public water? Looks like it is a constant level lake because it had zero surface area decrease on the image. Might do some door knocking if its a private lake.

Be courteous, tell them that you practice catch and release on bass and you'll be surprised how open people are to sharing their waters.

Also, there used to be a small lake behind the fire fighting school where I used to catch bass. This was in the late 1970's. Maybe still there.

ghill79. Yeah that was a small spinnerbait bass killer. I actually slammed my wifes (then girl friends) hand in my truck door. She said she was fine and let's fish. I knew I was going to marry her at that very moment!

Gibbons back side. Snake up the creek. Big dead tree. Blue and Black jig down the trunk, 13.5# in 1996. Whoop!

There is a lake behind Sams. Full moon night black spinner bait @ research park. Google maps look for lake behind pebble creek golf course there is an old oil rig road that runs to it. Lake on tamu land by reactor. Go to reactor turn left down sirt road about a mile down.

^ yes legal. I think barbless and have to release. Also any of the public ponds (central park, police station, ect) you have to have fishing license. They give tickets out quite often.

Gibbons Creek Resevoir, walk down the train tracks by the outlet of the power plant. Yes you cross a no trespassing sign but we never got caught. Good sized fish around there, especially this time of year.

Google maps. Almost any spot of water in or around town can be decent. I've fished a ton of them. Indian lakes has some good fishing too.

Google Maps is the answer. Pretty much all the ponds have fish. Just fish them all until you are asked to leave.

There's a reason why trashy people fish guys... Don't be like them.

I've been going over to lake raven in Huntsville state park. Haven't caught much but it's a beautiful place.

Fin Feather Lake just across city line into Bryan. Nobody fishes there because its contaminated with Arsenic. Fishing is good though! Just don't eat any fish or touch the water.

Fin Feather lake! I went out there many times in a $200 Bass Buster. I actually know someone who would eat the bass in there.... He turned out ok and graduated with a petroleum engineering degree

Aren't the fish in finfeather all tiny?

Somerville - N side of the lake, old Big Creek Marina. Used to catch crappie all day/night there along the pilings.

Brazos River under the bridges but watch out for cotton mouth snakes....

There is a nice sized pond off of HWY 47, just outside of town.

Park off of the crossover and hop the fence. Be quite.

Use wetermelon colored soft plastic jerk baits. Catch big bass for many moon.

Be sure to pick up Colt and Shipley on the way.
