Well I grew up in Karnck and what I would tell you is go down to Uncertain to a marina named Johnsons Ranch. When you are standing on the pier looking at the river you will want to fish back to your left. Look at a map of the lake. You want to locate an area known as Goverment ditch. You will reach it quicker from this location that from the state park. If you put in at the park ramp look to your right before putting in. When you go around that curve in the river you find a very good resturant. I have not been in the new building. The orginal place burnt down and the building there now is what the folks built back. Like I said the best area ( I think ) is out of Uncertain. In the river you have to many that think its a runway and they try to see if they can make their boats fly.
