Fishing Cover/Structure
Shallow aquatic vegetation and boat docks make up the majority of structure in this shallow lake.
Tips & Tactics
Largemouth bass are caught on spinnerbaits, worms, jigs, and crankbaits off the boat docks and from cattails. Channel catfish are caught tightlining or drift fishing shad or blood bait. White bass can be caught on tailspinners and jigs fished on windy shorelines. Crappie are generally caught from submerged brushpiles and under docks.
