Anyone do any fishing at the small lake in Aggie Park? I will be rving at Olsen between games and looking for a place to do a little bank fishing while there.

I've been out there a couple of times and have always caught a few. I don't know if there's anything of much size in there, but it's fun. Artificials only.

It was generously stocked when they built it I believe it is catch and release. I would think you will find some fish.

There is Aggie who has a YouTube fishing channel that did an episode in Aggie Park

Late 80s there were some nice bass in the Research Park chain of ponds. Somewhat turbid water and not much cover, we had our best luck on dark Texas rigged plastics worms in shade, especially under the pedestrian bridges.

It used to be barbless hooks only. Not sure if still allowed.

Last time there magnet fishing they had signs up that said no fishing. That was about a year ago.

I've gone several times when my daughter wants to go along. She's not a fan of the more rugged locations. It's basically a can't miss place. You will stay busy. Biggest I caught was 3 lbs. I've heard they stocked other fish but I've only caught bass. Also they have feeders there. I think they go off around 0400.

I fish there regularly. I generally prefer artificials at other location, but the fish honestly bite hot dogs better at Aggie park, even the largemouth and hybrids. I've caught catfish above 5 pounds after dark.

Thanks for the info guys. Never heard of catching bass on hot dogs but whatever works.
Man those are some little bass in that video.

Aggie Park is a strange little park for fishing but you'll definitely catch something.

I've fished the little amphitheater area on the north end because it's great if you have little kids. The only thing I've ever caught there was smaller largemouth. Throw a hot dog out in the middle and then slowly retrieve it and it usually works.

Completely different story on the other side of the bridge where I've caught some hybrids, rainbow trout when they're stocked, and even a good size catfish once. On that side I just throw out a hot dog (or what actually seems to work even better are the beef "lil smokies" from HEB) on the bottom and wait for a bite.

I'm usually fishing with my four year old so I spend most of my time helping him which is why I normally just throw mine out on the bottom and wait.

When you say hybrids are you saying hybrid stripers?

Caught this one a few years ago. Threw a Z-Man Chatterbait by the rocks on the deep end. I'd imagine this is one of the bigger bass in the pond. Only time I ever fished it and got a cool photo out of it.

There are signs posted that say no fishing but I occasionally see people fishing anyway.
