  • What's the catch? Bass were hitting on plastics and Kastmasters this weekend. Half Moon Cove and Siesta Cove were the top producing locations. Bluegill were biting on nightcrawlers from the campground shoreline on Saturday. The catfish bite was strongest first thing in the morning and after sunset. Boats were reeling in limits near the buoy line and Shadow Cove. Please remember a full size lantern is required after 8:00 p.m. Not having any luck fishing from shore? The T-dock is perfect for casting into a variety of depths and all species of fish are regularly caught there.
  • The campground shoreline is now open for fishing Monday-Thursday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Stop by the kiosk and purchase your fishing permit. We have a limited selection of bait available as well.
  • Kayak Rentals: It's a beautiful time of year to get out on the lake for a paddle and some fresh air! We have sit inside kayaks for rent at the bait shop for $10/hour or $30 for a four hour rental. Pack a picnic lunch and paddle out to one of our shady shorelines for a delightful afternoon at the lake.
  • Conditions: The aerator has been turned on for the season, so as the water circulates the temps in the water column will level out. The current temperature is 71 degrees. For a complete weather report in Lakeside, click HERE.
