SquiggyFreud

I will be heading to the Lake tomorrow, I am excited. Looks like a nasty front will be moving through around the time we get there, I am hoping for a window long enough to at least get the camp set up. After that, I plan to use some of Catt's Knowledge and try to land a fish!

Thanks, I agree too cold to play in the water, but just wanted to know for future reference.

Thanks for the info, that is a good start I didnt want to hijack this thread, but I guessed you guys would have the best up to date info!

All, If I may...a couple of questions about the lake(hard to find up to date info)...I have not been out there in 25+ years. I dont remember worrying about stumps and whatnot way back then, we would hop in my buddys boat, throw the rope in the water and kneeboard all day long. we will be on the South end of lake... Best place for Ethanol free gas on the water? Or should I take my gas cans with me and stop on the way in? Best place for ice, odds and ends, etc? Best place for food on the day I dont want to eat camp fire hot dogs? Is the area still dry? Liquor wise? Bass haven resort is right next to the park, I have read some bad reviews is it really that bad? Best place to water ski/play in the water? I think we used to go up near Pirates cove. If my wife and I just want to take a cruise...anything on the lake that is a must see? I will probably ask these same questions at the park once we check in, but always good to have more than one opinion. Thanks all, this is a great thread!!

Hi All, First time poster, I have been reading this thread for a couple of weeks. Superb info!! My wife and I will be camping at S Toledo Bend state park week of the 3rd of November. I hope to hit the water once or twice, although we will also be there for birding, hiking, etc. I havent spent much time on/around the lake since the 80's, I had a buddy whose grandfather had a house just across the cove from Red's Point. I have my hook n line map, looks like there are a few good spots near the park that may hold a few fish Looking forward to being there soon!!
