I too remember guys fishing near the culvert right at the highway. Now you can barely see whats left of the Lakes from the highway. Fishing was quite good back in the day allegedly. Unfortunate for sure.
Population density is quite high in and around the area thus a high density of water wells taking water from the aquifers have adversely impacted the lake water levels. That and land development, roads, etc. have altered the small watershed for those Lakes. Handful of drought years didn't help.
