re: Chicot State Park Fishing

There's no guarantee it'll work, but if I had to give any advice it would be this.

If you are fishing bass, if you are on the south end, there's a large cluster of trees just to the north of the south launch. This time of year they are probably gonna be hanging out deep with the colder water. But if the sun comes up and warms the water some, they may push up to feed. I'd fish close to the creek channel. The boat lane is clearly marked. So, I'd fish around the trees close to the creek channel. If you are fishing in the north end, there's a large pad field by the spillway. They're probably mostly dead, but the fish will still hang out by the stalks. Same thing there, it's right by the creek channel. I would think that would give you the best chance.

If you are white perch fishing, do like what was said earlier. Most of the people I've ever seen fishing them will poke holes in the big grass mats and drop hair jigs or shiners down.

One of my good fishing buddies lives 10 minutes from the lake and fishes it all the time. He knows that place like the back of his hand. He told me the last 3 times he went he couldn't find a single bite. So, best of luck to you.
