New to spoonplugging, after struggling to catch fish year round I decided something needed to be done. On my home lake last year I had a streak of 9 bass over 6lbs in a 3 month period from April to the end of June. The rest of the year I wasn't able to catch anything near that class. I read the green book and felt like a light bulb turned on and had answered many questions that I had. I now need to try and apply the knowledge and hope this forum will help me along the way.

Welcome Dennis!
I looked up your home lake, looks like a great lake, especially for structure fishing!
have you fished these structures? Looking at the navionics map, looks like good stuff!
Fishing Texas is on my bucket list, hope to make a trip down there within the next couple of years...

Re: Benbrook, Texas
Steve I have ordered the study course and plan on digging in soon, also watching Don Dickson's youtube channel. Jim, I have fished the structures in the second photo and done well. I have focused a ton of time on the west end of the damn. I've heard people refer to Benbrook lake as the best structure fishing lake in the area and this is how I ended up finding buck's material.
