Pre-frontal conditions provided topwater MAYHEM at Red Hollow Lake in Whitt, TX😤
Solo 52 fish day… all on a buzzbait and a frog. No d***s, all between 2 and 5 pounds. Fun was had. Red Holloe is a 28-acre gem for anglers looking to catch big bass. With bass over 9 lbs and a healthy forage base, it promises excellent fishing conditions. Though it lacks a formal boat launch, the lake’s layout and clear water make it an ideal spot for those with 16-foot aluminum boats or smaller.

Our newest property addition to the club, Blackberry Creek in Grand Saline, TX, is already showing out in a big way!
This beautiful 23-acre East Texas lake, located on Blackberry Creek Ranch, offers members an outstanding private bass fishing experience in a scenic, lightly pressured setting. As you enter the property, you’ll be welcomed by the Blackberry Creek ranch sign prominently displayed at the entrance, setting the tone for a memorable day on the water.
The lake features numerous coves, points, and shoreline pockets that create excellent bass habitat and provide productive fishing opportunities throughout the year.
A healthy forage base of threadfin shad, bluegill, and redear supports a strong largemouth bass population with excellent growth potential. Depths exceeding 12 feet provide year-round habitat, while the lake’s unique layout creates natural travel corridors, spawning areas, and ambush points for feeding bass.
Whether you’re targeting quality fish along the shoreline or exploring deeper water, this well-managed fishery offers the chance to catch healthy largemouth bass in a beautiful East Texas setting.

3 separate lakes make up Sandy Creek Ranch in Winnsboro, TX, each offering a distinct and unique fishery🔥 The latest trip reported 43 fish caught on a variety of moving and bottom baits!
Lake 1: The premier choice. This 8 acre lake is the best starting point for most anglers, offering a mix of fish species across various size classes. A well-stocked lake with plenty of opportunities for bass and other species. Equipped with a concrete boat ramp, this lake offers easy access for launching your boat.
Lake 2: Smaller but full of potential. A 2023 shock survey revealed a mix of big bass and an abundance of crappie. While it’s smaller, it offers unique structure and plenty of bank fishing opportunities, making it perfect for those who prefer to fish from the shore.
Lake 3: Ideal for bass harvesting. This lake features 1-2 lb bass in large numbers, as well as less structure compared to the other lakes. Harvesting bass here will help improve the fishery, creating the opportunity for bigger, more trophy-sized catches in the future. The back lake features a small boat launch, but we recommend boats no larger than 16 feet for optimal use.
