I am a beg fisherman here in the Texas but I have fished in many additional countries. Additional than fishing ground with minnows and shad, I would really like to be able to catch something using a lure. I fish in Lake Dallas on the weekends and normally camp over night on the small island that you can wade too.
I want to know what kind of lure I should use, size, and color it would be very helpful. I fish off the shore and there are lots of weeds, which can get really irritating. I have talked to a few fishermen in that area and they recommended using roadrunners but i’m not really sure how to use them and what colors to get. please advise.
What is the best lure is for fishing at Lake Dallas?

Plastic rattling baits when the fill up gets dirtier. Throwing crankbaits that dive 6 to 8 ft in 6″ of fill up is somewhat weird, but it works.
First of all, a roadrunner is a jig with a small spinner blade attached to the top. Most well loved summertime colors for Lake Dallas are white, chartreuse, black and yellow. Lighter colors work best in sunny conditions and clear fill up, go to darker for shady days or when fill up is off color. Use a varied speed retrieve, jigging up and down but keeping it out of the weeds on the bottom. Drag it parallel to any logs or submerged trees, again varying retrieve speed.
Fishing from the bank really limits the amount of fill up and structure you can cover, so just conduct experiment with shad or perch colored crankbaits, larger spinners in same colors as above, and plastic worms rigged either Carolina or Texas stylishness. You can find these terms defined on any excellent fishing website. Just google “fishing” or “bass fishing”.
If you get lucky and find the black bass or sandies chasing shad in the shallows (ahead of schedule morning seems to be the most likely time), throw a jointed rapala minnow or a plastic minnow bait right into the action and retrieve with a jerking motion. Make it look like an injured shad, and a hit is virtually poised.
Finally, try booking a community guide for half a day…..will probably be the best money you can spend to find what works right now.
Fish a Roadrunner slowly and at all depths until you find what depth the fish are holding in. Any color is excellent as long as it is noticeable. White or chartreuse are usually excellent colors to start with.
