beatin the south banks on the east side of the lake and south end will yield redfish. Gulp...can't go wrong...molten or new penny

you could fight the wal-mart parking lot (aka weirs). but try beating the grass banks on the southeast and south banks. should be able to find good water fairly easy with the nice weather we will have all week. good luck and let us know how it goes

best bet is 1-4 weirs with Gulp...... Just follow the east back and you will see them.... Trout fishing sucks........Best bet is weirs....... AKA Jordans hole...PM Jordan or Ray they might have GPS Coords on them

By no means am I a Big Lake expert but I have been fishing the lake for the past 4 years. That said, I do not think the trout bite....ie...."schooling trout" is on at this time. However, you should be able to catch an easy limit of reds. Go South young man and good luck.

Stay on the east bank. Fish the weirs,and grass banks. New penny gulp! or molten gulp! i like that Gulp Alive. Recharge your bait with scent/fo-fo juice.

good luck

Just pick up an La Sportsman on your way, they lay it out pretty good with coordinates, names, the whole nine yards.
