This lake is aweful for bass fishing. It is a catfish/crappie/white bass lake mainly. There are a few bass here and there but not near enough for a big tournament. I caught one short in the harbor where we launched on a tiny Swimbait. I also caught a three pounder in a pond by the hotel. That was it. Three of 75 boats caught a limit.
