First, have to thank the owner for greeting me and showing me the boat, the batter, explaining the trolling motor and explaining the lake. Super nice guy. I fished for blue gill with worms and a bobber first. Hooked up my first one which was a 1 pounder at least and while it was fighting in the water, a 4-5 bass came out and tried to grab it. That was the only bass I saw all day. I also used a small grasshopper crank bait and pulled it slowly on the top of the water and caught at least 4 or 5 with that technique. Hit the lake with the boat at about 3:15 and fished until 7:30. Threw everything I had to throw at them and the only thing that I even got a bump on all afternoon was the Senko. Not a bump, strike or hit on any other lure. The algae/weeds/moss are very thick. I fished about 20 yards from the dam from one end to the other. There is a clip in the boat that you can clip onto branches or the pvc pipes and stay in one place. Helps dramatically when the wind is blowing. If you want to have your young children catch something, come here for bluegill. Bring worms, corn, hot dog, cheese and several different kinds of baits as they are very well fed and after a period of time, they just sat there and stared at the worms. It would be a huge challenge to fish from the shore here. The algae/weeds/moss are on the shore line completely around the lake. You could fish top water but if you did anything else, it would be a challenge for sure. Very cool place. I just happened to get skunked. I recommend bringing a battery for the trolling motor in case there is not one on the dock. Owner had been using one and allowed me to use that battery as well as his life vest as I did not bring either since i was not planning on using the boat. Glad that all worked out.
