I use to fish there years ago,never did much good. All my fishing was from the bank, didn't have a boat back then.
Went by there today to look around. A lonely place this time of year. The fee to fish is $4 per visit or $30 annually. Other than a few ducks splashing around, the waters were calm. One exception was the break just below the ramp on Crane lake. Water was really flowing into the creek at low tide. A couple of signs in the creek says no boats allowed in Crane lake. That wasn't going to happen then against that flow.
The lower end of the concrete ramp was covered about 6-8 inches deep with dead reeds and other tidal creek plant debris. Would not be safe to launch but I guess high tide would float it away. The deeply grooved concrete made it catch and allow the buildup.
One of the other lakes on the right side has a tidal flow as well.
I will be back with my kayak in March when the waters warm up.
I wil be out there in March with my jon boat, perhaps I will see you there Jerry. Only problem I see is there never seems to be anyone in the booth at the entrance that I could give the fee money to, I suppose I will have to track them down around the park.
I just talked to the Chief Ranger of the City Parks, which includes Lone Star. He said if you don't find anyone at the shack at the gate you can do one of two things. Sign in on the daily log there at the gate and go ahead and go fishing. You can pay the first ranger you see and if you don't see one just pay the next time you go or there is usually always someone at the equipment shed/office at the back of the park where I explained earlier in the thread. Just call the number I posted earlier and someone will meet you at the gate.

All I saw was a P&R truck making rounds at 430 when I left. Give me heads up in March and I will do the same, maybe we can meet there and find some fish.
Lonestar lakes have their own secrets and are a bit hard to figure out . water pH AND clarity are just a few but there are large fish in those lakes
I use to fish Lonestar all the time untill I got a bigger boat but I still fish it by canoe a few times a year. I have caught a few crappie in Lake Wahoo but nothing to write home about. We catch more bass than anything including 1 citation a few years ago back out of Wahoo. I have even caught the rare Pickerel in Lake Annette. For me I catch the most Crappie out of Prince in the spring and Yellow Perch by the bucket full all year long. Still searching for that first citation Crappie trying to finish out my Master Angler level 2. I come close every year but no cigar.
Welcome aboard PGH,
hey big chief if you want a citation crappie try burnt mills this spring. the lake opened last summer and it produced a lot of big fish. if you need some help will be more than willing to help. tite lines JIM.B:)Quote:

I'm always afraid of tearing up my motor and having to change a shearpin in the middle of the lake. I have caught some decent bass, and pickerel in the front half by the ramp. I do fish Cohoon and when it was low 2 years ago I GPSed a track line all the way to the back without hitting stumps. I wish I could have did that to B.M. when they had it drained.
My favorite lake is Prince by far. In the spring I have the crappie and yellow perch zoned in on where they hang out. Still trying to master W.B.
I just love to fish, ANYTHING that tugs my line I'm having fun doesnt matter what the size is or species.
