Going there this weekend! Any tips to what to throw or look for let me know thanks leaving tomorrow night!

from bank or boat?

Bank and maybe a kayak

I fished it 6-7 years ago. i'm hard on myself and think i suck at fishing now so i really sucked back then  I took a canoe out while on vacation and caught bluegills, crappie, yellow perch and small bass on ultra light gear. I remember being frustrated b/c weeds kept clinging to my hook (submerged weeds). if i only knew better.  def take a jig rod and worm rod.  use the jig to quickly find the deepest weeds you can and drag a senko thru them.  Or the weed lure of ur choice ie rip a rattle trap or spinnerbait out of them.  

i've never see a topo map but i doubt the lake is more than 10-15 ft.  the water was super clear and there isn't a lot of cover so you can get away with light line in the open water.

it shouldn't be hard to find weeds. it seemed overgrown with an invasive species; it's really a shallow overgrown man made resort pond. However the good news is there was no public boat launch so it kept the bucket fishermen away. 

the southern shore line tappers very slowly. probably bulldozed that way for beach/swimming purpose.  i would focus on the northern/ mountain shoreline for best conditions. the homes/docks on the north shore were not developed when I was there but I would still focus on the north shore b/c it is going to provide the coolest temps, underground springs and natural ledges/drop offs.  definitely work those docks with a jig, senko, frog at dawn/dusk.  if you want to catch better fish definitely take ur kayak. 

 

i caught several smaller bass along the southern shoreline on a spinnerbait but i had to cast it directly onto a log b/c of the water clarity.  take an ultra light with an in line spinner/Mepps and some crappie lures and there is no way you'll get skunked. 

write an update after ur trip. i'd like to get back up there and see if there are any big girls.  good luck!

how did it go?

Lol we rented a jon boat and i caught one small largemouth on a drop shot and my brother and friend caught some monster gills using worms. It was pretty clear lake.
