Tell me something about Caney Creek Lake, Jimmy Davis St Park

well, back in the '90s it was a world-class fishery...many, many bass over 15 lbs were caught there...

I am sure there are still some monsters in there, but the hydrilla eventually got too heavy and they had to stock grass carp to eat the hydrilla....when I left La in the late '90s, the carp had eaten the vegitation down so much that the fishery started to decline a bit....but like I said, I don't think you can have a lake slap full of monster fish become all that bad...

I'd at least try for a monster or two while I was there...

fwiw, I'd bet if you look at the state largemouth record list there will still be a few on there from Caney...


also, good place to have a reunion...

Might cast a worm and pull a tube, give some boat rides...

that would be a good plan...

fwiw, if I remember right, there used to be some cool little cabins for rent there also...

Yes. The fish should be schooling and very good scenery around the lake.
