BCKFC is holding a 125 kayak event from the public launch on January 16th.


If you go east there is public land. Just stay in the southwestern canal. Everything north of the canal is private, public land is south of the canal. the broken marsh starts around south lake. You can fish the canal to the west, just don't leave the canal until you get to Little Lake or Hackberry Bay. There is no public fishing to the north of the southwestern canal. None. Nada. The LPSO does not make a habit of writing tickets but it seems like after the launch was built the Leeville folks have been a little on edge.

I use to have pictures of the map from the state lands office of the Leeville area. I'll dig around and see if I can find it and get get it posted.

Kind of a weird spot to have a kayak tournament considering it's a half hour or better paddle to public land and you have to drive past a WMA to get there.

Dang that is quite a haul to get to public land out of the public launch. Might go a little further north to Golden Meadow instead of Leeville.

Planning on being there Saturday, but Sunday may be an option too since the weather is crappy the rest of the week.

BCKFC has a great relationship with pretty much the entire town of Leeville. They hold several events in Leeville each year that bring in hundreds of anglers for several days at a time. I also think it helps that we generally don't occupy the same waters as the charter captains and camp owners do. It's a very symbiotic relationship for a town that's basically struggling to survive.
