Lots of bass cruising the shallow grass in the NW corner, good quality fish, but the bite’s been slow. Picked this one off with a Jackhammer, casting right to the edge of the cattails in less than a foot of water.

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.
