Fishing LSU lakes

Wondering if anyone has had any luck fishing for buffalo carp or catfish in the lakes. Not looking to eat them just something to do to pass up time.

I've fished for bass from the shoreline and caught a couple of 12-14" fish on plastic worms. Definitely not a lot of action though. If you had a depth finder on a kayak and could find the deeper areas you might be able to have some success but I think the bucket sitters (that are there damn near every day) pretty much clean the place out.

I have caught one fish in that lake the past 5 years from a kayak

For what it's worth, they had a dredging project in the lake in the 1980s. They started on The end by Acadian and started heading towards Dalrymple. They got just past the end of the sorority row before they supposedly ran out of money and stopped the project. They used some of the dredged material to build the beach and that park across the lake from the sororities. I would focus on that end, if anything.

I only bring a fishing rod as a prop so I have an excuse to anchor by sorority row in the spring.

The small lake across from the old cow palace is where it's at. Not the shallow one behind Miller, the other one you can only access on 2 sides. The other two sides back up to private homes.

I caught some nice stringers on sorority row in the late 80s. Black worm pitched by any sticks you can find right up against the bank. Black spinner bait along the banks with no sticks. Always February.

My best day there was walking the bank before work one morning and I caught 14. Biggest I ever caught was around 3#. Started by the beach and walked to Sorority Row. That was about 4 years ago. It's gotten progressively worse with trash and branches. Haven't been in a couple years. Spinner bait was my go to.

If you've got time, get a 50 pound bag of cattle cubes (range cubes) from a feed store ($10) and chum up a spot for a few days. Go at the same time of day if possible.
When you go to fish, throw out a can of corn in the same spot and use a few pieces of corn on the smallest hook you can find.

That lake was on fire a few years after the initial dredge and restocking, but the water quality and level has gotten too poor to sustain any decent fish.
