Quarter Lake, Louisiana: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  The Pointe Coupee Parish entry here is Quarter Lake, in Louisiana. The water sits 39 feet up. At 2 acres it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. Most waters listed here for Pointe Coupee Parish are larger. The town to know is Simmesport, 8.1 miles out. Baton Rouge is the closest city, 50 miles away. You are close to a county edge here; who manages the access can change within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Quarter Lake

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Open occurrence data for the surrounding area lists gizzard shad, redear sunfish, threadfin shad and bluegill. That is what has been logged nearby, not a stocking list, so check local rules before you plan around any one species. Quarter Lake gives up its fish to patience rather than distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 82°F and January near 48°F on the long-run figures. Summer heat is the limit here, not winter cold. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer squeezes it into the edges of the day. The hot months push the fishing to dawn and dusk. On Quarter Lake the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Kellers Lake, 1.8 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Check the position at Quarter Lake before loading the car.
