This lake is really just big round/oval basins. We used the wind to drift over structure....weeds, humps and rock piles. The fish were in the middle of the lake feeding just off the bottom. Crappie, bull bluegills and some nice perch. A bullhead and an northern pike found their way into almost every basket of fish. The lake also has nice bass and walleyes.

In the late spring with the bass spawn a ned rig is great to drag over humps and also shallow bays where bass spawn.

In the summer fishing a shakey head on offshore rock piles and humps is a very productive way to catch largemouth and some smallmouth. Also running the bank with the shakey head will catch bass.
