Lots of bass to be caught on this lake. And if you know where to go, the average can get pretty good. There is a ton of structure on this lake between humps, breaks, and weedlines. Favorite to catch them this time of year is by using a texas rigged dropshot. It simply just catches them. Make a long cast and just slowly work it back to the boat. Was catching them in anywhere from 10-20 ft. A flourocarbon leader was definitely a big factor. I love the Red Label 10lb for that.
