I would take Kincaid over Carlyle anyday. Carlyle can be one of the roughest lakes in the state when the wind blows. I have duck hunted on Carlyle when 25mph winds produced two foot waves Carlyle is also Full of submerged stumps just below the surface. You really have to know your way around to avoid damaging a prop or lower unit. We pretty much idled the whole time I was there and we still hit a couple dozon stumps. On the other hand, if standing timber is what you want you can find it at Carlyle. It's a very shallow lake overall. As far as places to stay I'm not much help there. Fished Kincaid a few years back and we camped. Can't remember the name of the campground we stayed at, ''sorry'' :o We did pretty good on crappie though and Kincaid is a beautiful lake. Good luck to you and let us know how you did
I'm sick of following my dreams. I'm just going to ask them where they're goin' and hook up with them later.
