About this spot

Fishing info

Top species in this area

  • Experience

    The spot provides adequate infrastructure, including wheelchair accessibility, picnic areas, and parking, making it accommodating for families. Species such as white bass, largemouth bass, and alligator gar add to the diversity of experience available at this site, although fish abundance tends to be higher away from the shore. The industrial setting might impact the overall experience negatively.

  • Tips

    Fishing from a boat is advised due to shallow waters near the shore; daytime is more productive for fishing. Varied lures are recommended for successful catches, and spots near the causeway or where water drains back into the lake should be prioritized. Consumption of fish is discouraged due to possible contamination issues, and traditional baits like nightcrawlers may not prove effective.

  • Fishing seasons

    The fishing conditions at the spot are relatively stable, with consistent temperatures and calm wind patterns that make for a stable fishing environment. However, the proximity to a steel mill suggests a need for cautious handling of the catch, with an emphasis on catch and release. Rain might occasionally affect fishing conditions.
