What is the best lure is for fishing at Lake Dallas?
I am a beg fisherman here in the Texas but I have fished in many other countries. Other than fishing ground with minnows and shad, I would really like to be able to catch something using a lure. I fish in Lake Dallas on the weekends and normally camp over night on the little island that you can wade too.
I would like to know what kind of lure I should use, size, and color it would be very helpful. I fish off the shore and there are lots of weeds, which can get really annoying. I have talked to a few fishermen in that area and they recommended using roadrunners but i'm not really sure how to use them and what colors to get. please advise.
First of all, a roadrunner is a jig with a small spinner blade attached to the top. Most popular summertime colors for Lake Dallas are white, chartreuse, black and yellow. Lighter colors work best in sunny conditions and clear water, go to darker for shady days or when water is off color. Use a varied speed retrieve, jigging up and down but keeping it out of the weeds on the bottom. Drag it parallel to any logs or submerged trees, again varying retrieve speed.
Fishing from the bank really limits the amount of water and structure you can cover, so just experiment with shad or perch colored crankbaits, larger spinners in same colors as above, and plastic worms rigged either Carolina or Texas style. You can find these terms defined on any good fishing website. Just google "fishing" or "bass fishing".
If you get lucky and find the black bass or sandies chasing shad in the shallows (early morning seems to be the most likely time), throw a jointed rapala minnow or a plastic minnow bait right into the action and retrieve with a jerking motion. Make it look like an injured shad, and a hit is virtually assured.
Finally, try booking a local guide for half a day.....will probably be the best money you can spend to find what works right now.
