If you have a boat.... Definitely Lake Pleasant. If you take the time to learn it a little bit, you will have
some *very* good days there. It's probably been eight years ago, but I spent four winters there. Crappie,
white bass and largemouth. Try the creek channels up around the NW public launch. Minnows under a
sliding bobber caught the most fish for us. There is an actual river that runs in on the NE side of the lake.
When the water is high, you can get quite a ways up in there. At certain times, party boats will go up in
there and anchor and make for some spectacular female sight seeing if your wife isn't along.

Normal
bass fishing rules apply to structure and water temperature and good fish can be caught year around.
When I was there, there was no limit on anything. The fish were always excellent eating. There are
lots of shad in that lake, so watch out for birds and bait balls on your electronics. I *think* it was November,
we got a wild hair and motored up to the Dam. We spotted fish boiling at the surface at bait and cast
spoons and plugs across the swirrling water and slammed fish after fish. 3 to 4 pound white bass and
largemouths in the same schools. They were all big and very hungry. We went again the next day and
found them again. Two of the best fishing days in my life that I will always remember because my late
wife, who loved to fish, was with me. Try to get back to the launch before dark and pay attention to
your depth finder. There are lots of rocky humps that can be a beotch if you aren't paying attention
and it gets extremely dark after sunset. There used to be a couple of good tackle shops in town that
would give you good info and set you up.
