Thread: ? About the park lakes.

Does anyone think it would be worth hauling my kayak down to fish in Shelby lake this time of year? I have fished there in February before and caught a few bass. Iwill be coming down next week from NW TN and staying in one of the park cabins. I plan on hitting the pier and beach plenty, but uncertain if there would be anything going on much in the lakes.

Welcome aboard. Sorry don't know about the lake. Let us know how your trip goes I guess it couldn't hurt to try the lake.

Lots of bream and shellcrackers. Redfish and catfish too. Bream just came off bed, so they should be hungry.

i'm sorry but i'm not driving 8+ hours to bass fish in sight of the gulf of mexico. i have bass at home therefore i know nothing about the lakes.

I work 100 yards from a lake full of bass, catfish, bluegill and crappie and live within 30-40 minutes of Wheeler, Wilson, Pickwick and Guntersville. I drive 6 hours to the Gulf for specs, pomps, redfish and flounder. If I were bringing a kayak I would explore Little Lagoon for specs and reds.

Good point....

Thanks for the replies. There are specs and redfish in the lakes.

There are specks and red fish in the lake. I fish there when I'm down staying at my camper in the park. I kayak fish and on my fly rod catch some really monster Bream on Poppers. I have caught sever Reds up to about 10lb and specks on that same popper.
