shimmy Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Hey all, I am looking to do another fishing adventure somewhere in Late March anywhere from Kentucky to Texas. Only rub is I would prefer a smaller lake; one under a 1000 acres if possible. I am taking my dad out and brother and we would like to hunt for a big largemouth bass. This is definitely going to be a broad range of places to go. I guess I am indifferent to it being pre-spawn or spawn time period. Just hopefully not right before a spawn during that lull period. Detective work and feedback would be appreciated. -Late March to first few days of April. -Less than a 1000 acres to take my own boat for a road trip (currently living in Wisconsin) -Preferably for big bass and not numbers. Thanks again to any feedback! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy85 Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Only one I know of that's close to the size your looking for is Caney Lake in Louisiana. Its around 5,000 acres and is known for big bass. Winning weight for a media tournament last January was close to 34lbs. On google its shown as Caney Creek Reservoir. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they drain the whole lake during repairs? How did they get big fish back in there? Is it a lake that has some topo map? Since it is so shallow, is it basically trolling motor only? Can you rent boats? Thanks all Shimmy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riverat Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 The lake was completely drained and then re-stocked. There are several boat lanes that are clearly marked but you don't want to run outside the lanes. You can check with the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries for a topo map. As far as I know there are no boat rentals for the lake. Hope this helps. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
