This lake could be good if they did some work on it. First thing, get rid of all the carp! There are so many of 'em in there and they are constantly stirring up the bottom which I think is bad for the other fish during spawning. It's also REALLY weedy and shallow. Doesn't seem like there are any decent sized bluegill in there. You might catch a few decent bass or northern, but you'll have to work for 'em.
