About Lake Chicot

Set in Arkansas, United States, Lake Chicot is a lake that holds the typical mix of warm-water and cool-water species you'd expect for the area. Anglers fishing Lake Chicot usually focus their effort on transitions: the edges of weed beds, points that stick out into deeper water, and the shaded sides of any inflow. Early morning and the last hour of light tend to be the most productive windows on a body of water this size.

• For Largemouth bass

  Vary your retrieve speed and lure presentation until you find what the bass are keying on, as their preferences can change daily based on weather and water conditions.

• For Channel catfish

  Fish near structure like submerged trees or rocks, as channel catfish often use these areas for ambush points and shelter.

• For White crappie

  Target submerged structure like brush piles and docks; crappie relate strongly to cover.
