LSU Lakes

I just moved into Blake Hall and there's a big lake right behind it. I tried to use the search for a topic about this but couldn't find anything. Anyways, are there any fish in these ponds? I'm sure there are but how hard would it be to get onto some fish? I brought my kayak and all my gear and would love to get into some bass on the weekends or after class. Any and all input is appreciated

Those lakes are pretty bad off dude.
Do you see many people in yaks fishing there?

All of those lakes are very shallow. Shallow enough for most people to be able to walk across. Doubt there's much in them.
Large lake near sorority row is a little deeper but not much. You may have a better chance in there.

In the mid-80s there were a lot of spotted bass in there. Had a ton of fun with an ultralight and a Beetle Spin or a little crankbait.
The bigger lakes had better fish, but I caught more than a few where you are talking about.
Course, that was a way long time ago...

I was curious about this too, so I did a little digging. I found this. Basically, the lakes are too shallow to properly circulate, and the oxygen content is dropping fast. Over time they've filled up with runoff silt. The plan is to dredge, but the last price the corp put on it was over $20M, and no one wants to pick up the check since they still look like nice lakes, and aren't bringing down the property value of those massive houses around them.

One time while kayaking along sorority row, no pole with me though, I got past the fraternity houses, right around where the crew team launches and I saw these cattail islands that were about 5-10 yards from shore where bass were thrashing around. Spring 2009 I think. Watched for about 10 minutes but got bored and left.
Check that out and let us know.

me and tclayboy used to bass fish a bunch. The big lake is not bad, and neither is the small one behind the cow barn.

I used to walk around and bank fish back in the early 90's when I was there. I wouls sometimes catch decent bass few and far between.
Caught one that went between 5 and 6 pounds one evening right at dark on a black H&H Spinnerbait.

I lived in blake my freshmen year. Yes there are bass in those ponds, and you can catch from the bank

That hole needs to be filled-in and covered with grass.
