LSU Lakes fishing

Will be in BR this weekend and have some downtime on Saturday afternoon. Is it worth trying to fish the lakes or is there a better place nearby?

Shallow and silted in.

If you had a time machine, I would tell you to set it to 1986. Damn we caught some nice fish there.

honestly, you are better off trespassing on a neighborhood lake or going to a BREC rainbow trout stocked lake. LSU lakes are nasty. You are more likely to catch an infection than a bass.

I don't know where half of these lakes are located.

I did too. Huge bass. Friends didn't believe me until someone caught the state record bass in LSU Lakes in 1992 or 1993. I think it's still in the top five.

They usually don't bite for a few days after a stocking while they get over the shock

A lot of nitrogen and phosphorus leaching into LSU lakes from the fertilizers. Plus sewage. Time they dredged them and made them great again.

Back in the 60's they were deep enough for submarines. The school newspaper even ran an article regards campus security shining lights to flush illegal snappers.
Maybe 1968

1989 a poster on here caught a 9.5 lb bass right on sorority row.... might be pix out there. February 89 I believe.

There’s bass to be caught in the lake but it’s pretty nasty these days

hit up the Burbank or Forest park lakes. They have rainbows in them right now if not fished out

Thanks all, will look at the other suggestions

Check out the college apartment complexes down Burbank by the new rouses. A lot of them have ponds and bass in the ponds. Just look at Google maps

If you just want to catch a few dinks there's a pond off Essen lane right before it hits I12 by some rehabilitation place. Gf and I used to go there before her classes to waste an hour, just throw a senko/fluke at them

The lakes look like oxidation/sewer ponds.
Hey but give it a shot.

The 1st time I ever saw trout being pumped into a river it was a scene. I was 10 or 11.
Truck pulls up onto the bridge, they connect a hose and all of a sudden thousands of trout are being released.
My brother, mom and I are using eggs, a single egg, and there's plenty of other people around. Well everyone hooks up instantaneously. I put my trout on the stringer in the bucket and bait up. Drop it, we were on a huge rock and the water is 20' below, and I'm on instantaneously. I think this time I'm not gonna bait up.
Drop my bare hook and I'm on....
Tell my brother and mom and we don't use any more bait and we walked out with our limit in short order. I'm not saying that's normal it's just what happened to us. Although a few did come up sideways I drive by that river/bridge/rock about twice a year and it brings back great memories of fishing as a kid.

I used to fish the one at the park off Harrells Ferry all the time. Never caught shite. Never saw anyone else catch shite.

In the early 90s a local caught a 12 to 13 LB bass near the I-10 overpass on Campus Lake. I talked to him or his friend (can't remember). He used a 1/0 hook and a 12-inch Tequilla Sunrise plastic worm. First cast into the middle of the lake at 7:00 AM and that fat phucker hit it. Wish I had a pic of it. Crazy.
