Throw around all structures on Treasure Island waterfront, especially during spawning periods. Look to rocky and gravel areas for Guadalupe bass, which follow same seasonal patterns as largemouths. Most stripers, which reach more than 15 pounds, are caught by anglers fishing for largemouths. Crappie are taken on medium minnows and jigs around the boat docks and under lily pads near the bridge. Channels in the 3-pound range are common.
Popular baits are chicken liver, worms, french fries and hot dogs soaked in fish attractor.
Lake Placid is located in Guadalupe County between Lake McQueeney and Meadow Lake. The pond area is 248 acres with a storage capacity of 2,624 acre-feet. Most of the lake is shallow with maximum depths of 30-35 feet near the dam. A public boat ramp is located at Exit 605 off IH-10 on the Seguin side of the river. Anglers looking for largemouths should concentrate on cool-weather months, or plan to fish from dark to dawn in warm months on this heavily recreated lake.
