Went there as a teenager 4 times in the early 90's. First time we went, we must have hit the lake just right. Dad, brother and I caught 45 largemouth one day bouncing a chartreuse crankbait off cypress knees. Went back 3 more times because of that trip. Caught maybe a dozen bass total combined on those other 3 trips.

In the 90's it was a great place to bass fish. So was concordia. Some people blame the decline in fishing due to the introduction of grass carp. Coontail moss was thick in both lakes but since the moss has disappeared, so have a lot of the fish.
