So I know that a lake of 300 is the minimum for not having junk catches (more for oceans) but I can not find anything that says if a lake that is BIGGER than 300 increases my chance of getting crates (Stockpiling before hardmode).
There is no fishing benefit to having a lake size > 300 tiles. There is a penalty if the lake size is < 300 tiles. (Oceans require 1000 tiles.)
The Wiki has a pretty good explanation if you're interested: https://terraria.wiki.gg/Fishing
I find that a lake size of 300 tiles plus a Golden Rod and a Worm as bait is good enough for all sorts of catches without getting junk.
