FYI, White Lake is good, but be careful going out there.... stay off the east side, the guy that lives close to the lake gets PO'd when people walk thru his yard. My buddy lives down the street and we fished out there alot, but he got a warning from the police last time he was out there. I suspect that they are cracking down during the summer months to keep all the kids off it during the summer break. Every person that I've ever heard getting in trouble there has always been in the summer.

What kind of warning did he get from the police? Is it illegal to fish there?

sorry this is totally off subject but did anyone ever notice the car in there. I decided to go ahead and cruise on down there and try it out so i get to the shore and i see this big object in the water i walk over to get a better look and its a car. i wonder how it even got there in the first place. there were a couple other people that were out there when i went out also.

Hey Rat-L-Trap_mania was it in the afternoon when u guys went out there? Because me and my cousins were out there yesterday too. We also saw the car inside the pond but, didn't see any bodies floating around. Lol

This was one of my favorite spots during the early summer (June and July). The last time there was late July. The cops pulled up and told me that I was not allowed to fish there. I told them that I had been fishing there for a while. He told me that a city councilman lives in the area and had the lake closed to the public. He calls the police whenever he sees people fishing. Now that someone has driven a car into the lake, I don't expect to be able to fish there again. This sucks because this was a really good spot.

That's messed up...I was going to go tonight.

I really hate to hear it's now closed to the public. I fished this little lake a lot in spring and early summer. It's about 15 min. from my house.
I guess I'll have to cross it off my list, although I may give it one more try just to see what happens.

yeah it was in the afternoon but it was saturday afternoon. i was with another guy and a girl. maybe that was yall... by any chance were yall in a truck with airbags. because i heard somethign that sounded something like an airbag shock going off

No it was my cousin with his pellet rifle shooting at birds.

Went by this pond yesterday and it looks like the city has dirt burms in place to keep people out. No entrance off of Oakland any longer unless you walk in. I believe the burms send a strong message.

That's a real shame. This has been a nice place to fish for a long time. I would sure be interested to know why they decided to close it off after all these years.

Has anyone tried to fish this pond called "White Lake" off Oakland recently? Has anything changed as far as accessibility goes?

I fished that little lake many years ago as a kid. The lake was then owned by a dairy across the road and there was literally nothing else in the area but pasture land. I caught many nice size bass from that little body of water - nice to know that's it's still there and producing fish.

Thanks guys. Me and my father in law will be in that area today and may stop and try to catch some bass at French. We're not from the area so we won't abuse the honey hole. 😁

Years ago at an army surplus store I bought a pair of snake leggings.
They tie around your legs protecting it.
They are a mesh that you test by trying to stab it with a knife.
I forgot what I paid for them. It was when Reagan was president.
But they work.
