The regulations on the Big O are a bit different from that of the usual state regulations. All bass measuring between 13 and 18 inches must be released unharmed. There are a number of fish camps around the lake as well as 16 public boat ramps. The canals that encircle the lake, outside the rim of the dikes, are an excellent spot for those who wish to avoid winds that can spring up. All four of the above lakes are susceptible to much the same lures, according to the fisheries biologists.
Golden shiners produce the larger fish.
Artificial lures are the usual plastic worms, jerk baits, crank baits, chuggers and spinner baits. When I began this tour of bass lakes I expected to compact the information into one article. But this did not happen. So far I have talked about places that I have fished. The second part of this article will be about places that I have not.
