Lake Notes: Specializing in
Largemouth Bass, Bream and Shellcracker. Deer Point lake is best known for
its shellcracker fishing during the spring using earthworms as live bait.
Although largemouth bass fishing typically slows down during the winter months
in Deer Point Lake, it picks up again in mid-February and March, and becomes red
hot in April and May. Anglers unfamiliar with Deer Point Lake should try
fishing for largemouth bass in the old creek channels of Bear, Cedar, and
Econfina creeks with plastic worms, diving crankbaits or rattletraps. Bayou
George and the flats area at the confluence of Bayou George and Deer Point Lake
are also popular largemouth spots. Also, try targeting docks and boathouses
along the creek channels and at the mouth of Bayou George. Anglers should
exercise extreme caution during boat operation due to the tremendous amount of
flooded cypress stumps and snags found in the lake. Connects to Gulf of Mexico.
