A clean, cloudless night over the water, with a helpful ripple pushed from the NE with the glass slipping lower. Activity on Cade Lake Number 3 should centre on the shallows early and the drop later. The productive run goes night into morning. Start on the obvious water and expand from there.

Night
Out in Burleson County, Texas, sits Cade Lake Number 3. The setting is warm bottomland. It measures about 32 acres, which is a comfortable size for bank fishing. Bank access stretches around 1.1 miles in total. Nearest town is Caldwell, 4.9 miles off. College Station is the closest city, 27 miles away. One jurisdiction covers this water end to end.
Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this. Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. This water gives up its fish to patience rather than distance. When the water is clear, go lighter and further out.
Typical August readings run about 83°F; by January the average is down near 48°F. There is no cold season worth the name. Shade and hour of day matter more than month. February into May fishes hardest as the water warms. That is the shape of the year on this water. Barometric swings often matter more than the calendar.
Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. If the gate is shut, Cade Lakes at 0.7 miles is the nearest alternative. Treat access at this water as something to verify.
