I'm heading to Village Creek State Park in the morning for 4 nights with the family. Can anyone give me any pointers for either of the lakes there? I'll be fishing out of a canoe with no depth finder.

Throw in the bass gear. Make sure license is up to date.
Lmao ain't that the truth!
I've only fished lake Dunn a couple of times for bream and bass. There's some big Florida strain bass in both those lakes and they are supposed to be good cat fishing lakes although I've never tried them. I recently moved about 8 miles from the park but haven't fished it any due to lack of a boat. I know lake Dunn is pretty deep and I would guess austelle is too. Sorry I couldn't be of anymore help but I will ask around and see what I can find out. There's plenty of shoreline cover both timber and rocks in lake Dunn but I'm sure the cold front has pushed them back out a little. Anyway good luck and let us know how you do.
Poor fella. They got his fish hanging on the wall at the visitors center. Its a whopper for sure!Quote:

Ain't fished either in years , but use to be Dunn was a big fish lake, and Austell was a numbers lake. They both look line there should be some crappie in there. They don't get that big without a fish fry or two.
It's right the opposite. Dunn for numbers, Austell for size, although there are big bass in both.Quote:

Next time go south of I40 and get on Bear Creek!! One of the best days I have ever had fishing was on that lake. BTW, do they still have that crazy take your prop off, remove sparkplugs, fule line, etc... rule for boats over 9.9???
Yes sir they do and your right maybe my favorite lake. My first bass tourny was there and won it. Caught lots of crappie on rattle traps there. Its an awesome lake.
