A buddy and I fished a Tournament on this lake with no experience and found success. We fished docks early on in the morning wacky rigging, and then transitioned into deeper water of 10-12 feet at the weed edge and isolated rock piles using the drop shot method. With no expectations in place, it was an overall fun experience.

Tough day with few bites, until we switched to swim jigs and spinnerbaits to save some face.

Had to wade through a few small-medium pike, but hooked some decent bass to 4+ pounds. Berkley Square Bull crank also good.
