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.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Nov. 27)

GOOD. Water slightly stained; 63 degrees; 1.12 feet below pool. Water temperature is still holding in the lower 60s, with no major fronts or rain to drop the temperature. Bass did slow down in the shallows, enough wind and clouds to move the shad back out a little. Blue catfish remain good for rod and reelers, with a lot of 1-4 pound fish being caught, mostly on shrimp and live minnows. Larger blue catfish are coming on cut bait. The highlight last week, which should continue if the weather stays about the same, was hybrid stripers. These were very good at times, especially around midday, late morning til early afternoon, trolling over humps in 12-20 feet. Near Smith Point was a good example. Both Redneck and Yankee rigs worked well, using either 2 in Pet spoons with feather, and Coyote spoons. Most of the new sunshine stripers are in the 20-24 feet and up to about 5 pounds.
