I have fished this lake since i was a kid, it used to be a great lake to fish, DNR and the FP Police need to tighten up on the people coming out, I have witnessed guys using goby's as bait, guys with 4 poles in the water, and one time got into a verbal argument with two Chicago residents who had 2 five gallon buckets full of crappie male and females during spawn season most of which were too small to keep and some carrying eggs. However, the Bass seem to be doing alright but every year they get smaller and smaller as well as fewer and fewer.
