Eagle Lake Advice

Native Mississippian here although living in Alabama now ( I know, I know). I've fished Lake Washington every spring for about 15 years until about 3 years ago. But this year we are making a trip over to see family that have a lakehouse on Eagle Lake and I am planning on bringing the kayaks and going after some slabs. I have never fished Eagle so if anyone could give me some advice on what areas might produce a few, it would be greatly appreciated. Hopefully I will get to fish at least 2 days. We have not a set a date yet, but thinking around mid-March. Not so sure though if the water temp will be up enough by then for the spawn. Could also use some info on bait shops on the lake as well.

Thanks in advance,
Michael

Bunch of dock fishing over there, should be good then too.

Thanks!. That was my first plan..to hit some docks.

Certain docks seem to hold fish better than others, not sure why but the way it is. Figure it out a little bit and leave the less productive ones alone.

ain;t but a very few dock that hold fish. Just watch the crowds and pile in the middle

Save your time fishing the docks...like Don said, there are only a few that hold lots of fish and unless you stay on the lake all night, you won't be able to get close to one. PM sent.

Crows pier.

Only problem with Crows nest is he's bringing a Kayak. Ats a long paddle right there. LOL

Not to mention, you can't get within 100 yards of Crow's. I'd tear that pier down if I lived there. 24/7 people in their back yard.

If he starts at dark he might get a spot tho!!!!!

Went to Eagle last month and fished along the other piers. Crows was wrapped up and didn't think another boat could get in. We saw another boat coming in and just pushed on in. Not fun when if you got to fight for a place.

I sure want to go back to Eagle and pole fish some of them docks

float row / buck snort . Find a map .

Thanks for all the tips, guys. I hope this will be the first of several trips to Eagle. If I play my cards right and take a couple extra days, I might even take one of those days and go up and hit Lake Washington. Does anyone know what the water temp on Eagle is recently?
