I'm going to try and get to know Celina a little better, I just wish I had more time and more money to do it with.lol. What's your opinion on Saddle and Tipsaw for redears and bluegills? I've heard Saddle had some nice fish in it.

I've had good luck at all 4 lakes, with Indian being my overall favorite. Not saying it's the best, just that it's my favorite.

At Tipsaw, my best luck has been the arm to the left (facing the dam). Start following the creek channel until you find them. In the right arm (facing the dam) past the beach, my best luck has been across the mouth in the deeper water. Look for sunken brush 10-16' deep. Early spring, the feeder creek by the ramp is usually consistent, especially if the water is up about a foot or so into the trees.

At Saddle, I don't have a particular hotspot, but I do have better luck staying "offshore". As someone else mentioned, Saddle has been getting a lot of pressure and my catching has dropped off some the last couple years.

Good luck wherever you go.
