Wasnt out but three hours and had 8 crappie and two bass. This was last weekend when it was warm and rainy. Fog was so bad on the water. It was great to just get out on the winter and catch a few. Once I found them I caught them quick. Holding between 15 and 20 feet. I will know where to start the next warm day we have.

Went on 9-15. Caught 12 Largemouth but all were under 2 lbs. Great little lake. The launch ramp and facilities are poor but the state promises repairs and a \'fix up\' this winter.

Went there 9-15-12. Caught twelve small largemouth bass in about 6 hours. Most were in 6 to 10 ft. near the cover on the banks. Another note: The boat launch ramp is terrible. It needs to be reworked. If you do take your boat, you will not find a decent area to park your vehicle and trailer. There is no bait shop or boat rental as stated. be sure to lock your vehicle. This is not a resort area.
