Lake
Notes: Specializing in Largemouth Bass, Bluegill
and Black Crappie. National reputation as an
outstanding spot to catch largemouth bass. The
lake also produces many trophy bass exceeding 10
pounds each year. A 15- to 24-inch slot limit
regulation and a three-bass daily bag limit are in
place to help maintain quality bass fishing.
Typically, the best technique to catch trophy bass is
to drift live wild shiners over hydrilla weed beds in
the northern half of the lake. Soft jerkbaits,
lipless rattling crankbaits, and plastic worms also
produce bass in areas of offshore hydrilla.
Angling techniques may have to be altered during 2005
because the 2004 hurricanes temporarily cleared most
of the hydrilla from the lake. Pitching live
wild shiners and flipping soft plastic baits in the
bulrush (“buggy whips” or “round rush”) and
cattails in the northern and eastern areas of the lake
has been successful. Spinnerbaits should also
produce bass in the bulrush and cattail stands.
Bass were concentrated in these areas during the fall.
Remaining hydrilla beds in the cove south of the boat
landing will hold good numbers of fish as well.
Topwater lures are also productive, particularly
chuggers or the walk-the-dog types of baits.
Although topwater baits catch fish throughout the
year, summer months offer the best action when schools
of bass roam deep-water areas. Bass should
become less concentrated on the shoreline as off shore
hydrilla beds grow back through the summer.
