WACO fishing spot??

[Suttle1976]

My girlfriend has just started fishing and now she can't get enough. I never thought I would see her bait a hook with a night crawler but she does. I am looking for a spot near Waco were I could take her to catch something bigger than a perch. If anyone knows of a spot we could catch some catfish from the bank that would be awesome. Also a recommendation of what kind of bait to use would be a great help. I am not looking to steal someones "honey hole" just a good spot that's easy to get to and has a few fish. The closer to Waco the better but we would be happy to drive 30 minutes or so if you know a really good spot. Thanks for the help and I will post pictures of any fish she catches.
Thanks again.

Your not far from Whitney, There are lots of fishing spots there and nice parks to picnic.

x2! Whitney is the place to be. Lake Waco is pretty worthless for most rod&reel fishing, but you can have pretty good luck with catfish juglines. (I mostly caught alligator gar when fishin' from a boat.)

Tradinghouse Creek Reservoir is just outside of Waco, and I've done pretty well there before.

Good luck!
