I have been three times in the last two years, talk to James at Falcon lake tackle for tips. My last trip I learned the hard way braid is a must if you dont want to loose a fish of a lifetime. Water temps are on the rise it should be on, the mexican side seems to be the shallow slow sloping banks and coves and Texas seems to have more rocks and steaper points. Tigers is a lake all by itself. Ive had no problems, use good judgment watch the weather and use your favorite stiff rod. Good LuckRodney
