Larry and I rolled down there this afternoon...big gizzards were thick. Go to where Rowlett Rd crosses Rowlett Creek just East of Centerville. Park where the other cars are on the east side of the bridge, go under the bridge North maybe 150 yards. Filled a 3 gallon bucket with gizzards up to 12'' in 30 min icon_biggrin.gif

not tricky at all, i know the creek very well and i wade there often. The place im taking about has nothing to get your net caught on and the water is about 1-3ft deep. As long as you release the bass your fine.


Well.... what I meant by tricky is more or less legality related.

I didn't know whether or not casting nets in creeks is restricted, but I guess you sound fairly certain that it's ok, which is GREAT! icon_biggrin.gif

Hey no problem guys. Just an angler helping other anglers. I was at rowlett creek and i saw some dudes cast netting lol. I know it had to be one of you. I caught 4 Hybrids that day. 3 Keepers and 1 was undersized and released. You guys wanna go for Hybrids at the creek let me know. Im working on a fishing boat right now. Should be up and running in a week or so. Hopefully, some of you guys can show me the ropes on boat fishing at Lavon lake. I go for everything from Crappie, Catfish, Hybrids, and Stripers. No White bass, i prolly got about 50 in my freezer right now.

Good Afternoon! I just got back from the creek. I threw my 5ft cast net for 45+ minutes and I caught some small 3" to 4" Shad (and a bunch of small Sandies) But I could not locate the elusive Large Gizzards! What time of the day are you guys catching them out there?

found more SHAD, TONS and TONS at a location at Rowlett creek. One cast will get u like 50 3-7 inch shads. Let me know if anyone needs some ill show u where, its hard to explain. I need some shad too so it would be nice if someone can get me a few gallons worth. Got my boat up and running and launching it for the first time this weekend. PM me!

Shad behind the dam are real spread out with the water not running... Can anyone point me in the right direction for some shad. Going either tonight or in the morning.
