I caught my first Bass here off a worm on the bottom. I watch people pull bass in all day long. Usually with lures. It's hit or miss, and watch out for the turtles. We actually had a turtle that was two feet in diameter bite a blue gill we were reeling in. It was amazing but he definitely broke the line and took the fish. The weeds get thick in the summer and there is usually a family of muskrat in the water.

The last two times I've been here. I've caught 6 fish (4 largemouth, 2 bluegills). Fishing with lures have been the base of all my catches. But I've heard that fishing the bottom is good too.

I have caught Bass ranging from fingerlings to roughly 4.7lbs in the main lake and just over the hill on the north side of the lake is another small pond, i have only caught 1 Bass in the smaller pond and it was a little over 5lbs. Not many pan fish on the shorelines the best place i have found is fishing the weed beds off the west shoreline.
