TPWD makes a point about sunfish at Lake Cisco:

Tips & Tactics
This would be a great place to take children fishing for sunfish with minnows, nightcrawlers, or mealworms.

I may have missed it, but I have never seen any of our local sunfish chasers posting about it....looking for an excuse to haul the boat down there.

I see that Redear are on the TPW Cisco report. Also there are two sunfish weight records. A Bluegill and Redbreast. Both are in the 10inch range. I personally have never fished Lake Cisco. There should be some nice ones in that lake. I also have not seen any Lake Cisco post in the Bluegill/Sunfish Forum. If you get the chance to go, let us know how you do. Always love reading about other bodies I have not fished.

Gonna pull the boat down to Cisco for Easter Weekend.

Will report back.

Always love reading other water body reports across Texas!

Plus #1.

Lake Cisco was at one time a good redear lake, but the last time I fished it, which was some time ago, I did not get av single bite. I think the report is obsolete.

Well, room is booked and boat is prepped, so we are headed down. Weather is supposed to be ok.

Gonna' try the king of baits and 1" power bait minnows.

fished the last two evenings with minnows and worm.

Fished from 4 to 8 FOW using drop shot and bobbers. Only successful presentation was drop shot worms. Nary a bite on minnows...here's the punchline: while we did catch a few blue gill, the lion's share of hook ups were Crappie (on worms) in 8 FOW.

Pics later.

Awesome!

Nice fish.
