STARTED FISHING AT 2PM WITH A NEEDLE FISH TIPPED WITH A POWER CRAWLER, I CAUGHT A FEW MEDIOCRE TROUT. I THEN SWITCHED TO A FROG COLORED FLAT FISH IN THE SMALLEST SIZE .I FISHED IN 8-10 FEET OF WATER NEXT TO THE SHORE IN THE NORTH WEST END AND MANAGED TO CATCH AND RELEASE AROUND 18 OR SO TROUT. I WAS THE ONLY BOAT OUT THERE FOR AT LEAST TWO HOURS .THERE WERE SEVERAL BALD EAGLES TAKEN THERE FAIR SHARE OF FISH, VERY NICE TO SEE. SHORE FISHING FROM THE PARK SIDE WAS ONLY FAIR. THE PEOPLE I SPOKE WITH WEREN'T DOING ALL THAT WELL BUT WERE ENJOYING THERE TIME THERE. TIS AN EXCELLENT BASS LAKE ,IF YOU TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE TROUT STOCK AND THROW CASTIACS OR FIN S JERK BAITS IN THE TROUT PATTERN .MID-MAY IS THE BEST ,DON'T BE AFRAID TO THROW THEM IN 6 INCH .THE SIZE LOOKS INTIMIDATING BUT YOU'LL BE SURPRISED AT THE FISH YOU CATCH.
GOOD LUCK IM GOING TO BE THERE SATURDAY AFTERNOON 5-01-04.
RATHER BE LING CODDLING BUT THAT'S A DIFFERENT STORY
