As for fishing, you can catch Bluegill in any open area using 2 to 4 lb line, a #10 or 12 hook (I use circle hooks, hardly and fish get hooked in the throat) and a small bobber up a couple feet from the hook. Use small mealworms or waxworks as bait. For the bass, because there are so many weeds and moss now in the lake, you will do best in the late afternoon/early evening with surface lures and weightless plastic worms rigged weedless (Texas style) worked slowly thru the water weeds and moss. I have done pretty good with floating Rapalas "jiggled and wiggled" in open places in the weeds and moss.
