Does anyone know anything about George Lake in the Vinemont area?i just heard about it from my mothers neighbor this weekend.
Well I have fished it some out of a canoe several years back. I was fishing for bass back then. Buddy of mine used to ease over there on his lunch and catch some nice bass on top water around the boat launch area. Never have fished it for crappie. I have not fished it in over 10 years but it does not seem like there is very much water frontage to bank fish since there are several houses around the bank. Nice lake to explore when you get a kayak.
Just wondered. The guy I talked to caught several nice large mouth.didnt know if there were any crappie or not.
I've never heard of it, if there's public access I'd love to give it a try some Saturday.
If I find out anything I'll let you know.flintcreek knows more than I can find out I'm sure.
Take Hwy 31 South in Vinemont...turn Left (East) on 1301 launch is about a mile on the left. 34°13'20.8"N 86°50'19.9"W Paste this in Google Maps.
Lake George is a good little lake to fish. Folks say there "aint any crappie in that lake", so I politely agree and go out and get a few. Easy access and not crowded. Last year was not as productive as the year before but we still managed to find some nice fish.
So there is some crappie in there??
I fish Lake George almost every week crappie bite been fair. A lot of small bass in it no monsters. Water being low there is a lot of stumps you can run into if you don't know the water.Quote:

I live about 15-20 minutes from it and go there often to test out small motors I have been working on. However, I don't extensively fish it nor have had much luck either.
Based on my visits, I would not go in a canoe or kayak anytime in the warmer months as there are not many places to escape boat traffic. It is a really small lake and there are always a handful of people out in big bass boats or testing out ski boats or jet skis they may be looking to buy. There is also a guy who lives on the lake who has a huge wakeboarding boat he drives up and down the lake all afternoon every Saturday. Gets annoying when he drives by you every 10 minutes.
Last time I went was a couple of weeks ago and the launch area was way down. It was even a little difficult launching my 16' flat bottom by myself due to ruts and holes from people having to back farther in and past where the gravel ends.
I'd appreciate any tips for crappie fishing the lake though.
Thanks for the info Scout. I knew when I had been fishing there one time in my canoe and a big bass boat about blew me out of the water. I had wondered if there was a HP limit on it like Catoma. Sounds like with the stumps and water being low it is better now than in the summer for a kayak.
Despite it being a backup water source (I think) it has no HP limit or rules against swimming and other things that would go along with that.Quote:

It often gets really crowded with folks who are using it to work out kinks of a boat that has sat for a while or are testing out a bass or ski boat to buy.
There is No HP limit on it. Fishing this time of year is the best time no jet ski or people swimmingQuote:

Big shell cracker in it. That Crappie I caught there wasn't big. But may have changed. Lots of large bass in it.
My mothers neighbor had several bass between 3&4.a couple pushing 5.
