Great bass fishing here, still trying to figure out where the pike and cats hide though

Very solid bass fishing with some giants in here. Decent panfishing, catfish, and pike. Shore fishing is way too crowded. You cannot use your own boats or kayaks. You have to rent their below average quality boats.

Excellent largemouth fishing in Spring before weeds grow thick. Decent bluegills. Abundant crappies along weedlines. Few nothern. Try white spinners and lizards for bass. Boat rental available.
