The bad news first: there are zillions of pike--with the guidance against harvesting because of the 3M chemicals, you'll find them everywhere. But you can catch nice bass too--my PB largemouth was here 2 years ago. Both species crush the dropshot in the summer in 12 to 18 feet on a sharp dropoff and weed edge near the northwest corner of the lake. Slow rolling a chatterbait is a reliable method as well.

While live suckers are whacking the snot out of them, a hard hitting, rolling jerkbait can still trigger strikes. Throwing parallel to submerged grass and really snapping the rod caused the most success. Dumped two that hit like freight trains and landed this dude.
