Favorite Lake?

gizzardshad · 01-13-09, 01:01 PM

What is your favorite bass lake you have ever fished?
(And not necessarily your home lake)

Mine is Lake Guntersville. It's nearly 3 hours from where I live now but I still make the drive several times a year! Never seen anything like it.

Monticello. See my avitar pic,

Rodman Reservoir, No-Name Lake, Lake Joy.

cassidyta · 01-13-09, 01:17 PM

Lake Barrett here in San Diego. Only open to fishing from May to Sept and generates many 50 fish days.

MississippiBoy · 01-13-09, 01:23 PM

So far, Guntersville is mine, also. We'll have to wait and see if that changes in May, though.

woody · 01-13-09, 01:27 PM

So far I would say that it would have to be southern Indiana's Patoka Lake, seeing that I have not fished outside of the state lines yet

yea I know

But you know I've got this feeling that after the GetTogether Kentucky Lake is gonna take that honor away!

Dangit JB, All Indiana lake with probly never look the same again!!!

I have 2 favorite lakes because they are completely different.

1.- Sugar Lake
2.- Zimapán Lake

Fishnngolfn · 01-13-09, 03:03 PM

I have been unable to fish the larger lakes in Alabama since I do not have a larger motor boat to get around. I have some favorites ponds but they are all private and small enough to fish from the bank. I do have a favorite river that is fed from Lay Lake. The access area is private as well but the river is public. The movement of this "creek" is controlled by the dam. This is also where I take my personal pontoon. It is called Yellow Leaf Creek.

JB · 01-13-09, 03:08 PM

probably ky lake followed by erie and then brookville

REDBULLCUBAN · 01-13-09, 03:37 PM

Up north my first would be Fountainhead Regional Park in Fairfax, Va

despite water levels, and conditions on Lake "O", it is my favorite lake here in FL if it were fav. water id deff. say alligator alley.

BassAddict · 01-13-09, 03:41 PM

Kentucky Lake is my favorite followed by the Potomac River.

rodman rat · 01-13-09, 04:21 PM

Rodman Reservoir!!

pig_n_jig · 01-13-09, 04:49 PM

Lake Ontario or Lake Champlain. You can catch over 100 smallmouths a day, they will wear you out to where you don't want to fish any more.

Lake Monticello

It's REALLY close to my house and...look at doc's avatar.

ditto on what THE famous poster said

Bender · 01-13-09, 06:53 PM

It would be hard for me not to say Lake Saint Clair. The only "bad" day I've had out there was mainly due to the weather and I have only ever had one day when I didn't catch at least a 3 pounder, and that was a half day up in the river my first time. Like Ivan said, 50-100 fish days are not uncommon the right time of year.
There are a lot of great lakes around here and many in northern Michigan that I have not explored that I'm sure are nearly as good.

bamabassman · 01-13-09, 07:37 PM

well, i have 2 favorites so far, guntersville, and a now ladnowners only lake called Mountain woods lake". fished it as a kid for YEARS. went private and the fish went sour.

rangerryan · 01-13-09, 07:49 PM

abu4600 · 01-13-09, 09:17 PM

Tennessee · 01-13-09, 09:35 PM

Sam Rayburn

Lake Graham

Gibson County Lake

hey zooker just wondering if you have ever fished Lake Fontana near Bryson City and Robbinsville. If you like clear water smallmouth fishing that is the place to be in North Carolina

WTL · 01-14-09, 02:08 AM

Lake Hatchineha in Florida is my favorite.

mont_lunker_hunter · 01-14-09, 02:32 PM

Lake Monticello

BassinBandit · 01-14-09, 03:46 PM

I would have to say Guntersville has been my favorite. I caught my biggest largemouth there. Actually my two biggest largemouth. Just wish VA would step it up with its fish and game and we could have a few great lakes close to us.
