Lake Alice

[Lawdwaz]

Any of you guys been to Lake Alice? 

 

I have about 27 years of history on the lake since my FIL has a small place there, mostly summer time swimming/boating/water sports.  Sure, I've fished it a fair amount in the summer for bass and whatnot.  Never kept a fish...

 

Today I went up looking for crappie.  I've known that there can be a good crappie bite in the spring but have never done it until today.  I launched at the public site and that was a rodeo.........sorry but I'd be banned if I put it in writing.  Don't ask.

 

So there wasn't a SINGLE other boat on the water, from the dam to the far side of the Kenyonville bridge. Not a one!  There was a chilly NE breeze that swapped out to west around noon and the sun was bright.

 

All I had to show for my effort was one 12" crappie and 8 bluegill, they'll be guests at dinner tomorrow.

Never fished Lake Alice, but I try to get out on Oak Orchard river a few times a year.  We've always done well on northern and largemouth there.

When my Dad and I first moved here we bought the Sanders Guide and every Saturday and Sunday we'd pick a different spot to check out. We went to Lake Alice once and didn't do very well iirc. Bond Lake was another one up there that looked "bassie" as all get out but we couldn't find a fish
