I actually border the state park on two sides...my house. I fish Lake Lajoie quite a bit and have numerous stake beds in the lake, however being that it is such a small lake there are often 5+ boats fishing the "hot spots". I have tried fishing chickasaw st. park (lake placid) and never caught a crappie. I'll have to try by the spill way. I have caught a bunch of large catfish there, the biggest being 13 lbs. I wonder if they would let me put some stake beds off that side of the lake??? I'll ask. Thanks Man!
