If you are really familiar to the H.B. area... you might wan't to sniff around the area just south of the 605 fwy off Beach Blvd. It's a little hidden spot that I've checked out in the past (enclosed in a business complex), next to the Sports Chalet. I've never fished the spot as of yet... but I've seen plenty of decent size bass in there.. for some fun fishin. I'd advise you to first check the spot out, then sum it up for yourself -- whether it's safe or not to fish =)

Good Luck,
