Catfish are good on cheesebait over baited holes. Yellow catfish are good on trotlines baited with live bait.

Absolutely can be a dangerous place if one crosses the middle of the lake to the Mexican side, could be a huge problem!

Skip

Are there other South Texas lakes that don't sit on the border that have good crappie fishing?
