I have been fishing Creve Coeur Lake at least once a week for about 7 months and only caught 8 small bass. I usually stay on the back side of the lake, opposite the beach. I have had pretty good luck with Zoom, baby bass swim baits. Be careful using crank baits and anything that is not weedless. Has anyone had any luck with bass along the walls on the beach side by the boat ramps? I have not made my way over to Mallard lake yet but I keep hearing more good things about it. For anyone else that lives in this area I would recommend staying away from Wilde Acres Lake in Overland until the algae clears from the top.
