Worcester

Lots of species in a smaller lake, connects to multiple other water ways.

Great Variety

Great place to catch pan fish, carp and bass. 

Not bad

Boat ramp, parking, fun place to be for a few hours. Fishing is better with a boat but there are multiple spots you can access to fish from the bank.

Decent fishing spot

There is many carp and catfish here which makes this place very enjoyable for me. The only problem though is that there is many random people just chillin in there cars doing nothing all the time which is kinda sketchy.

Amazing Spot

This lake in Worcester has a big boat ramp parking lot enough to fit 20 cars.  The boat ramp has a small dock alongside and the ramp itself is concrete and in good condition.  

There is a good amount of bank fishing by the boat ramp and by the two beaches on the opposite side of the lake (near Shore Park?).  Beware though - the water depth by the bank around most of the lake averages about 2-4 feet.  

I took my kayak and toured most of the perimeter of the lake and although i was skunked for the 4.5 hr that i was there, it was a good time.  Had a couple bites and saw several giant fish jumping out of the water.  pretty crazy!

I think your best bet is the northern most part of the lake where there is tall grass with nearby lily pads.  That’s where i had a couple bites and saw 2 fish jumping out of the water.

There are a lot of homes around the lake but at this time of the year the lake is pretty much all yours if you’re out on the water.  I imagine it gets pretty crowded in the middle of the summer.

I will definitely bring my bass boat here next time

What a great lake for shoreline and boat fishing!

Not great for bank fishing, especially if water is lower than usual. Lots of jet skis in the summer. 

Better with a boat
