Where are some places to bank fish on Giest? I don't have a boat, but would like to fish here.

Scott S 0Geist Park....sorry typo
-
Scott S 0I'm not sure about the surrounding area....You used to be able to fish from the bridges, but that stopped years ago. I did just read that you could bank fish ...more at Geist part? Not sure where that is on the lake.
-
Gershom Davis 0That is sad. What about all the smaller places around there, like Mud Creek, etc? Sounds like I need to take a drive over there and scope it out. I've only been ...more over there once.
-
Scott S 0You will have a hard time finding a place to bank fish on Geist. It is a private lake with multi million dollar homes....It cost 40 dollars just to launch a boat ...more there. In other words, they don't want people fishing there that are not homeowners. Sad but true.

Does anyone know what the bottom consists of, around the 56th Street bridge? I know there's rock underneath the bridge, but I'm not sure what happens as ...more it drops to deep water on each side of the bridge.
-
Thank you! Hopefully, you can post the picture. I plan to fish Eagle Creek a lot this season.
-
it looks like it drops to 26’ between the piers under the bridge. steep drop on the east side, more gradual on the west side going north and south. if I can figure ...more out how to post a photo in the comments I will.

Okay. I'm seeing all these posts about people fishing Eagle Creek from the bank. Where are y'all fishing from? The only spots that I know of are Lilly ...more Lake (which is over fished) and near the Marina (which always has a ton of people there). Where else can my son and I fish from the bank???
-
Thanks everyone!! We will definitely try these spots!!

You can also fish at the boat ramp area just North of Rick's Cafe. You can pay $5 to have access to the ramp parking lot, or next to the exit gate of the ramp ...more lot there is a parking lot you can park in for free. From the most North ramp there is an area with benches you can fish from. At the Northern end of this area there is a path you can take that will take you on around the bank away from the boat ramps. You can also fish from the bank down around the canoe/kayak launch area. I have caught some nice catfish in this area.

Down by the North gate there is a road that leads to the bird sanctuary. You used to be able to drive down it, but as far as I know it is closed off by a gate. You ...more can park your car at the gatehouse lot and walk down the road and have access to fish the bird sanctuary, Eagle Creek, and the North end of the reservoir if you follow the path between the creek and the sanctuary.
