Comments and Tips:
This is a very good bass lake. Although most are small (under 4 pounds) they are plentiful. The numerous coves, points and underwater structure make excellent habitat for these fish.
Took a trip on 4/1/06 for white bass excursion, Found a few 1-1/2 lbs fish in 20-25 feet of water up in the narrows past Las Tables arm ¾ of a mile or so on live minnows, also caught several nice small mouth bass 1-1/2 to 2 lbs and a good handful of crappie next to the banks. Heavy Fog in the morning suggest to go straight across from the boat doc as there is a cove with a floating restroom for a land marker in this kind of weather, turn to the left and follow the shore line, The first set of houses on the right is at the mouth of Bee Rock cove fishermen can find a map at the Lake Naciemento website. Also small motor oil colored paddle tail worms with split shot make a good small mouth bait.
Good success!
