U all need to come up and fish the new lake here. It is 3 years old. It is nice. I haven't fish it yet, but gonna give it a shot this year.

Brenda and I have been paying on this lake a long time (wheel tax). If I don't catch fish, I am gonna protest for a tax rebate.

Check it out. I am doing my civic duty.

Yep, they were locked up tight. Went to Dick's. They didn't have squat. Ended up at Cheddars for supper and then on to Kroger and WalMart. Typical Saturday night!

Any luck?

My VA rep from Cedar Grove has caught some good size bass, but I haven't heard of any reports of sizable crappies yet. I know the crappies were stocked 3 years ago.

Crappie should be 10 inch this year. Caught over 60 bass on a roadrunner the day I fished it.

I live about 5 miles from the lake. I have been using the lake to test out the pondtoon I put together. It is a perfect lake for my pondtoon.
02-21-2015, 10:46 PM

Any good size on the gills and crackers?

Oh yeah. I caught some small crappie while trolling between beds. I just figured they needed a little more time to get some size to em.

We fished the new lake once last year and caught a ton of crappie, but they were all short. It was a lot of fun though. We'll go back again for sure.

Lake has very good gills and crackers but the 20 fish limit in combo makes it really not worth the trip. Don't know if they have upped the limit now or not.

Thanks for the information Cane Pole, I might have to go there when the weather breaks a little. One other thing, what wind direction do you need to watch out for over there?
02-22-2015, 03:51 PM
Cane Pole

The lake orientation is NNW. Winds from the north or northwest would be tough I would guess.

Ok, thanks again Cane Pole.

Carroll Lake is much like Gibson county lake in that there is almost nowhere to go to get out of the wind when it's blowing.

You boys make a man wish he was back home. My parents grew up in Lauradale county so I cut my teeth on fishing the backwaters and oxbows of the Mississippi. Now I live in Kentucky near Dale Hollow Lake and fish the clear deep waters of Dale and Lake Cumberland. Sure do miss those Cypress trees tho.
