Fished most of last Saturday morning and into the early afternoon. Would have fished longer had I not buried a hook in my thumb. Caught a dozen large mouth and raised three muskie. My buddy has not fished much for muskie previously so his eyes got pretty big when one muskie followed the lure all the way back to the boat. The lake looks awesome. Clear and not very weedy. Some surface weeds on certain parts but definitely worth the trip.
