Stick Marsh-Farm 13 - Freshwater Fishing Report
Kenansville Lake
Date Fished: 1/4/06
Water Temperature: 68
Water Clarity: 2-3 feet
Scott and I had the opportunity to just get out and fish for fun so we opted to do some research on Kenansville Lake. This lake is one of the sister lakes to the Stick Marsh, and provides an alternative during this period of time. The layout is quite different from the Marsh with lots of different grasses and lily pads.
The day was spent with Senkos for the most part and the fish were holding tight to various grasses and pads. The predominant grass was arrow weed and you had to rattle the grass to get bit. The other producer was the lily pads and again shaking the pads with the bait was a good idea.
The Senkos were fished weightless and T-rigged.
Kenansville Lake is a shallow 2,500- acre impoundment with an average water depth of 3 feet. This area was cattle pasture prior to flooding in 1993. Boaters, especially those unfamiliar with this water body, should navigate with caution as there are rows of submerged fence posts throughout the lake. Interior levees are also located at the north, center and south areas of the lake. A single lane concrete boat ramp is the only facility on the site. The town of Kenansville is the closest place to obtain gas, food and bait. Although most anglers fish this area by boat, bank fishing is available along the access canal and north end of the lake for those willing to walk or ride a bicycle to those areas. The most popular fish species include: black crappie, bluegill, largemouth bass and catfish. All largemouth bass are protected by a special no harvest regulation.
Anglers are reminded that all largemouth bass caught must be released immediately under the special no-harvest regulation.
