Wood Creek is not a terribly deep lake, the only what i'd call deep water is up by the dam, the lower end of the lake is more shallow. Not dangerously shallow, say 15-40'. I personally have never caught a SM out of there and don't believe a large population exist but I have heard of some coming out of there. It's a good spring lake, lots of cover and timber to fish. Good bluegill (size) population too.
