Let's say you're going to go bass fishing, and you want to have the best fishing day possible. Where would you go? To narrow the choices, where would you go in the spring, the summer , and the fall. Looking for numbers of fish over 12 inches. Lakes have to be in Kansas and about 200 acres or larger. Thanks, Brad V.
Brad, your question is easy to answer if you only let me offer my Missouri opiniosSorry, no help on the KS side...
But if the choice was open to MO then
Spring (Apr-May): Mozingo
Summer (Jun): Truman
Fall (Nov): Table Rock
Kansas only:
Banner Creek
Banner Creek
Banner Creek
I would suggest Spring: Banner Creek or Hillsdale. Early Summer: Perry. Late Summer - Early Fall: Melvern. Smaller Lakes that are good most anytime are: Pony Creek, Lyon County, Yates Center and Lone Star. Larry Brumley
I like banner creek too, but I have had 30+ days on Geary State with most being over 12".....A 3 pounder thrown in there too...
Cheaper to keep a kid in tourney fishing than paying attorneys to keep them out of jail !!
Banner.
LaCynge (sp)
and Wilson.
sorry........had to have a nice Smally Lake in there........till RJ argues the point that Milford is better.........then we'll discuss what its liek to fish in his Aquarium......but he cant do that anymore either.....so he has to find a new place to fish
It's unfortunate that the best lakes in kansas are less then 200 acres...
I don't even think this one could possibly be up for debate????
Never knew Melvern housed a good bass population. Maybe I'll drive up there...
Melvern has a very good Smallmouth population a decent Largemouth population and some good Spotted bass as well. It's not hard to catch all three over 15" the same day. Larry
Thanks guys. Just thinking of Youth State Qualifiers. You want the youth to catch fish, but you also want them to experience something other than just "bank beating" on a State Fishing lake.
Would love to find lakes where they could have the opportunity to fish structure. Before all the bass in Fagan lake died we used to go over there and fish the creek channel in the grass flats, then the big drop with a Carolina rig, and finally the stump flat with either a jig or a rig. You could actually fish structure, but those days are gone.
Just thinking. Thanks, Brad V.
the only true STRUCTURE lake I know of in Kansas has to be Wilson......or Cedar Bluff.
