Hi, I'm new to the forum. My family will be visiting in a few months and will be staying next to Oyster Lake. Can you fish in there? Is it fresh water? Is there a place close by to rent a paddleboard? Thanks for any assistance.
Fished out? There used to be a lot of bass, bream and catfish.I respectfully disagree. I live right next to Oyster Lake. True it is brackish. I have fished it a lot with various bait and lures and caught only small trout and maybe a small redfish or two. The same with all the coastal dune lakes, they are all tough fishing and they all get a lot of fishing pressure. I have had better luck fishing in them from a kayak than the shore, but IMO, getting a kayak in any of them with all your gear and trying to fish is just not worth the effort. You would be much more likely to catch a decent fish under more enjoyable circumstances by shore fishing the Gulf for pompano, whiting, reds, etc. Stinky's can probably hook you up with bait and rigs.
