I have just moved to Plano, Tx. after 18 years in Anchorage, Ak. Needless
to say, the species, methods, etc. of fish here are slightly different than
I am used to. If there be some kind souls that live in the Dallas area that
would be willing to give me some pointers as to where, when, with what,
etc. to fish here I would be forever in their debt. I am interested in
freshwater fishing opportunities for myself and my 9 year old son and also
thinking about taking some gulf charters if and when I can afford them
again.

I had a GREAT time about 70 miles South of Plano at Lake Navarro
Mills. It's basically in between Corsicana and Hillsboro. The lake
holds the Black Crappie record, and even a bad day netted us 11
keeepers (any Crappie over 10" in Tx is considered a keeper). They
were tasty too We were on the fishing barge due to lack of boat...
Who knows what we might have pulled in if we ahd the proper equipment.
And Hilllsboro is a good place to drop off the wife for a days of
shopping at the outlet mall... Just make sure you limit her funds!
