If you're looking for a good spot to do some bank fishing near Lexington, you'd be silly to think about any place other than Cove Lake. Cove Lake is a back water of Jacobson Reservior, it can be found on google maps by searching Cove Lake Apartments. On the map it's not listed as Cove Lake, but the body of water is easily visible on the map, right off of Squires Rd. This body of water is absoutely full of huge Cats, Bass, and Carp! I've seen several guys catch 30lb+ Cats, and Carp. Even if you're having a bad day fishing, it's fun to watch the HUGE carp jumping all over the place. But don't get too complacent, I've lost a couple poles that way. Anyway, I hope this might help somebody in, or traveling to the Lexington area. My friends and I have fished this area for years, when we talk to other Lexingtonians about the fishing there, nobody's heard of the place.
