I hit it alot years ago and for sure it can be feast or famine . they will be so heavy in the timber some days you think you should go pro . a little wind change or cloud cover and or some other thing like a quick water drop (they do all the time there I might add) and KABOOM you are done
I have yet to hit it this year but my bud went 2 days ago and reported the same thing to me . 4 keepers in a long day of searching all the locations we typically target .
where they went is a guess but to be sure if there isn't a thermocline well developed they will park really deep on trees with a lock jaw that needs a tetanus shot .
I loved fishing Benbrook in the 80's. Kept my boat in the marina there. It was very easy to limit out back then. Haven't fished it since I returned to DFW. Was going to rent a slip at the marina there but the manager told me it was unusable half the year due to low water levels. So I went to Joe Pool instead. Miss fishing there as it was a very fun lake to fish.

Any day I'm fishing is a good day, regardless of what I catch.
