Quite a unique lake! I would advise that you fish the pads with punch jigs/frogs. Action is plenty although the average size of 12”-16” may not be your cup of tea. Nonetheless, you can find some Bass nearing the 20” mark on the west side of the lake. You will also find a “Ring” surrounding a Bog area when you enter the channel from the West side. This goes all way back to another “Bog lake” that I don’t recommend trying to fish. But the “ring/channel” that gets you to that point is full of 12-16” Bass if you are into that. Tight lines friends!
