A good friend of mine was telling me that there were a ton of small ponds in and around DFW airport that are LOADED with bass. He said he hasn't been out there in almost 5 years or so. Things may be different now with security and all. Anyone know if there is any truth to this? If so, how the hell to you get to'em? | ||

There is a nice big pond/small lake on the west side of the main throughfare as you go out the south end of the airport. I always wondered if it was off limits or not. I never have seen anyone out there. It looks real good from the road. Gary MG3 Embroidery 972-415-6507 | ||

I have heard of this possible urban myth. I am pretty sure I wouldn't want to get caught illegally fishing on DFW property, but I understand the ponds (tanks as us redneck east Texans refer to them) to be on the West side around Airfield Drive and Glade Rd. Chuck Chuck GIG'EM AGGIES | ||

I agree with Chuck. I wouldn't want to get caught there. I have drove by the one on the South entrance for years and wondered about the fish content. Thanking the Lord, all day long --- tomc | ||

Tom, that is the one I was referring to. That one sure looks fertile. Lots of veg around the perimeter too. I never had the nerve to try it. Try calling DFW and asking them. Seems like I remember seeing a sign that prohibited fishing there, anyone else remember anything like that? Gary MG3 Embroidery 972-415-6507 | ||

Gary, I hear ya, looks really good. Many years ago, I used to see a gator swimming up and down the ditch that leads into it. I would bet if anyone would be seen there, they would attract a lot of attention from law enforcement there. Thanking the Lord, all day long --- tomc |
