Whitlock Lakes

Whitlock Lakes sits in Union County and is classified as a reservoir; I would pick one promising shoreline stretch as the first section and keep fishing it until I find a repeatable bite in the first adjustment. For the opening part of the day, I would keep working one easy-to-read shoreline stretch until I see a pattern develop in the first few casts, because moving constantly makes a lake harder to read.

Whitlock Lakes Size, Maximum Depth and Volume

Whitlock Lakes does not have a dependable set of published size and depth measurements, so I would wait until a trustworthy source publishes a defensible number before trusting a number and stay around one nearby section of water until I see a pattern develop in the nearby water.

Fish Species and Best Baits

Known fish for Whitlock Lakes include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Channel Catfish, and Largemouth Bass, so I would build the first part of the day around the species I most want at one short section of water and avoid switching until I see a pattern develop in the opening stretch. If bass are present in Whitlock Lakes, a spinnerbait plus a Texas-rigged plastic gives a practical combination around one sheltered part of the lake; I would change it only when I get a useful answer from the first area.

A Practical Whitlock Lakes Game Plan

If I were seeing Whitlock Lakes for the first time, I would work one straightforward part of the lake with only a few dependable baits and make only the changes the first few bites justify after I get a useful answer from the first adjustment. If I get a useful clue from the first few casts, I would stay around one promising part of the lake on Whitlock Lakes and use that clue on the next similar stretch. After I get a useful clue from the nearby water, I would leave Whitlock Lakes knowing that one easy-to-read starting zone deserves another look before I start searching somewhere else.
