ive fished here a lot as well. It's private, but i've never had any problems with security (knock knock). I've only caught bass, but it can get really good sometimes, other times completely dead. Went couple days ago and caught 5 bass in about 2 hours. Late afternoon, the bass get feisty and you can see rises all over the lake, especially when there is no wind.
