hello to all.... i hit up dunlap about twice a week with my kayak... getting bored with catching all those nice dunlap bass. i need a change of scenery.....am thinking about taking the yak out to placid or McQueeny this weekend... looking for any advie on either of those two lakes... thanks y'all

Im headed to Dunlap for the first time on Saturday. Any advice?

Technique on all three lakes is about the same since they are on the same water. Flows from dunlap to Mcqueeny and eventually to dunlap. Just warmer the further down you go. I haven't been on McQueeny in a LONG time. I used to like fishing the lily pads with weedless topwaters and the boat docks with plastics. The river portion is a lot like Dunlap so fish it about the same.

I would definately go to McQueeney if I had the option. Just make sure which ever 3 you do pick, to get on and off the water early. The wake boats will be out in full force this weekend.

Maybe I'll hit McQueeny instead of Dunlap tomorrow.....

Dunlap is going to have a lot of boat traffic on it this weekend. If you do fish it I would be off the lake by 10am. As for Placid or Mcqueeney. Placid to me is the most difficult lake to fish out of the three. I have fished all three lakes a ton of times throughout the years. If I had a choice between Mcqueeney or Placid I would choose Mcqueeney. Also keep in mind Easter weekend and all three river lakes are going to have a lot of traffic on em. Good luck.

Thanks,

You all have talked me out of it. I am heading south this weekend.

Good luck everyone.

I am glad i asked.... i forgot how buisy this weekend was gunna be onthe water (everyone and thier mothers is gunna be out) sooooo i am gunna take my yak out to placid next weekend... someone asked about dunlap advice..... wellll i alwyas launch my yak from under i-35 and head down to where the little "creek" is, that "creek" is really a discharge from a water treatment planet (i think) i take my yak all the way up and there is always good fishing for sunnies, rios and small bass up there, i use tiny crankbaits and always catch a mess of fish. as far as larger bass i throw cranks and drop shot soft plastics along the shoreline up and down stream from the little creek... always catch a few, best colors are natural ones, most of the lilly pads from the creek on back to i-35 always produce a few nice LMB.... i dont usually fish the main part of the lake due to the fact i kayak.... but dunlap has always prduced many nice fish... i find um with shad Raps and once i find where they are i switch to drop shot soft plastics, my go to is a green with red fleck crawfish... hope the dunlap info helps fellow dunlap kayakers. i have looked on google maps and i cant seem to find a place to launch a kayak into McQueeney... does anyone know where any access spots are for McQueeney?
