This Lake is like hunting in a big woods. the deer don't just walk by you so you can shoot them. I have fished this lake alot for 19 years from the shore. Only a few times have I fished it from from a boat. Here r my results: Just like deer hunting if you don't go alot you probably either just get really luck or you won't get a deer but if you put your time in then most people get a nice buck....in this case the same thing is true for fishing....the cool part is I am getting my own boat this year and my boys and I are going to put in alot of time fishing this year. Good Luck to all

Best fishing trip of my life. Get a topo map from a baitshop, find an incline that changes depth from 8-12 feet, and bottom bounce a leech or nightcrawler from a slip-bobber. Caught well over 50 fish in 3 days ranging from Lm.bass, walleye, perch, pike, rock bass, and bluegill. Lindy-rigs and Spinners were also effective.

Just got a cottage here and didn't know our way around for awhile but figured her out now that the weeds are coming in. Fished for about 7 hours total in 3 days and caught well over 30 fish. Mornings and nights mainly. Fish varied from Pike, LG Mth Bass, Perch, and walleye. Like I said we fished weeds beds in 4 to 5 ft water. Went around with a jet ski and saw quite a few larger bass in canals but didn't have time to fish'em..next time.We're gonna look for some crappie and bluegill this week.
