April 15th 2022 I fished here for only about an hour before the high winds kicked me off the lake. Though in that hour I caught 4 largemouth bass on the Spro little John in spring craw pattern. I was fishing the side of the lake opposite of the boat launches letting the wind push me down the bank. I was fishing in about 6 foot of water where the chunk rock and boulders were about to meet the old grass line. All the bass smashed the crank bait and now I'm in love with crank bait fishing!
