I fished it from the bank a LONG time ago.  Motor restriction keeps me away now.

I'm new to the lake.  Where are those bass hiding?  I got skunked 3 times.  North of the highway? South?  Dam?  Thanks for any help.

When I was bass fishing it, green pumpkin zoom speed craw, Texas rig, on laydowns and riprap. Or squarebill, spinnerbait, jig, 10" worm. 

I typically had my better luck north of the interstate, or on the west side - across from the ramp. If you have good electronics, there is ALOT of Xmas trees, and other items that have been sunk, all over the lake.

Good luck! The bass are few and far between.

I think there is a tournament on Tuesday nights, you might try that, maybe they can show you.

The last couple years have gotten worse and worse for bass and crappie. 

It does have a good catfish population though!! Some of the biggest bullheads I've ever seen. Good eating size channel cats.
