Hopefully Desert Cat will weigh in here as he is probably the most knowledgable on this lake.
For bass,I personally walk the rock jetty & cast either a small spinnerbait or rattle trap.Trout fisherman seem to do well in the northeast corner.Good luck

Thanks for the info..I just got back from the lake.I got the big skunk but i saw a lot of 3-7 lb cats on the surface got one to bite the robo but missed it.Also what corner is the north east is it kinda by where the water flows out to the canal?

Maybe my directions are off,but across the lake to the right if your standing were the canal enters the lake.You didn't see any LMB?

Desert Cat,it has been reported that the sheriff has been writing tickets up for off roading along the canal.Have you heard anything like that?
