Lake Poinsett/Fishing/boating

[Labman]

Heading to Lake Poinsett and wondering if its worth bringing a boat along to go fishing or boating in general. I see the maximum depth is only 20' on this 8500 acre lake. Can anyone give me any information regarding this lake? Thanks

Dishpan re structure but well known for fishing --walleyes perch northerns and smallies. Many other good spots close-by. do not worry about the depth. 20 ft is good depth for prairie lakes.

We stop at a Bar right on the Lake when we are out there pheasant hunting. It's called Lakeview and ask for Bob-he's in a wheelchair due to an auto accident many years ago but his family runs the place and we like it there. Lake Ponsett is beautiful, so is Lake Albert just a couple miles away. I understand both are considered real good fishing Lakes. We are there to hunt though so can't confirm the fishing. There tons of ducks on Ponsett when we are there in late November.

Can be a good lake depending on the time of year. Definitely worth a shot.

You got to watch his poker face, sometimes hes fooling you! But for the most part Bob is class act, love visiting or harassing him when I am out there.
