Thread: Lazy L Lake Report

I hit Lazy L Lake about 9am and not a ripple on the water. By the time I got the boat launched and the motor started a slight chop out of the South was evident. I pulled around to one of my favorite spots which was out of the breeze and caught 2 nice Crappies right away. I was in 13fow and the bite came at about 6'. I was suprised how hard they hit. No hesitation. I must have got those two just before the bell rang and the rest of the fish went to sleep. No further action anywhere for the next hour. I changed location, jig color, presentation, everything but my boxers. Finally I got on a hole that produced four more fish. Three of the four were keepers. Then the big hit came. BOOOOOM! Wow did I think I'd hooked ol' Moby Crappie. After a great fight on a 6' light action rod with an ultra light Shimano reel and 6LB. Sufix Hi-Vis Yellow line I managed to see that this was a NICE channel CAT. What a surprise. After that I was really pumped up and revitalized. the wind had pick up and was imposible to hold and any one spot. I'd spoted a few fish on my Eagle, but could't stay on them. I'm Just wondering if the "fish" I was seeing on my finder was suspended leaves. Has anyone ever had that happen? All in all I had a good day on the water and brought home 8 good keeper Crappies and a "Moby" Channel Cat. Lazy L is a fun Lake when you don't have to compete with jet skies and ski boats.

nice catch

Nice catch. Where is Lazy L?

Lazy L Lake is just outside of West Terre Haute on 150..about 150 yards past the multi Rail Road Crossing on the right. Pay at the gate (honesty system). The lake is open all year long. In the spring the lake usually floods and brings in a "re-stocking of fish".. If you havn't tried it, I suggest you do. Lots of humps, stumps and submerged wood.

I bet that ole whiskers was a scream on light tackle. Nice stroy, thanks

Back in my days, 40's and 50's it was known as Isacc Walton. Caught many a crappie from the willows. Long before long lining. Great bass lake also. Gets repopulated when the wabash river rises.
