Another member and I fished Yates all day Friday.  Caught ~45 bass, the majority before noon.  Harvested most, threw back 5 or 6, the largest just shy of 4lbs.  Catch of the day was a 1.3lb Bluegill.  Most caught on flukes and brush hogs.  Seems the big ones are off the beds.  Awesome property, lodge, and great hosts.

In private lakes you may keep all that you wish. The fish in the lake are the property of the landowner and not the state. Public lakes have limits.

i thought that was true, the only reason i brought up was , i was reading an article where you cant do it in ,i think it said maine, and i thought it was strange . cause i thought it was ok in texas but it got me wondering. i know yall wouldnt be doing it if it wasnt legal. and by the way, i have noticed the difference in the fish at deer trail….
