LOL....that's true. The VFW gave it to the state many years ago. The place was built in oder for VFW members to have a place to go drink and party....is my understanding. As more and more places went "wet" and alcohol became more available there was no need to maintain the expense of keeping the place so they gave it to the state. I keep shell cracker and Gills......just not from that lake. The beds are very easy to fish in the spring as the bedding areas are all close to the bank....which is very well kept.....and far too many people haul way too many fish out of there. So I just catch and release in that lake. Up until about 2 years ago it was quite common to catch many shell cracker at the 13 inch mark from there.

Hey Alphahawk, is that the VFW Lake in Lawrence County?

Alphahawk, I did the same test that you did. Checked almost all my spots where they spawned earlier and none were there the last couple moons. Got the bigger gills off blowdowns during that time frame.
