I'm David Benson, I'm a crappie fishing guide here in East Texas. I've been fishing Lake Palestine since I was a young boy with my grandpa. I enjoy sharing the sport of fishing with others.

There is nothing like spending time on the water, and sharing my knowledge not only with adults but I really like enjoy getting kids involved in fishing. There is nothing like seeing the smile on their faces as they put those slabs in the boat.

It's so great to see family members bring a young one to enjoy fishing whether it's their parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle or just a close friend, getting them on the water and making memories.

I look forward to spending a day on the water with you.

Lake Palestine

Fishing Report from TPWD (Feb. 5)

GOOD. Water slightly stained; 50 degrees; 0.98 feet above pool. The crappie spawn typically begins around the first week of February near a full moon, but is highly dependent on lake level and water temperature. Lake level is good with water reaching up into the shoreline reed level, but water is very cold. We had a late and warm fall, and winter seems to have just begun with at least two more weeks of cold. Crappie are still being found in the normal winter habitat in about 13-23 feet of water by the Live Scope anglers. Very few scattered reports of a few males coming up into the shallows, some reports of males working into the shallow lead in areas of piers and boathouses in 6-12 feet. White bass are also highly dependent on water temperature but not so much on water level. A few reports of males coming up into Kickapoo and Neches, but not a run yet. Report by Jim Beggerly, Jim’s Fishing Lake Palestine.
