Just got back a week ago, so here is what I can tell you. Bluegill are biting, decent fish here and there being caught, but no where near the size or numbers of the past. I have been fishing the lake for about 7 years and this has been the worst by far. Crappie were being caught deep, but after the sun is overhead the fishing was over. Catfish is your best bet. They are everywhere and very eager to bite on just about anything. And as everyone else said, leave your boat at home. I have always taken mine for years, and never had any problems. Well guess what......its in the shop now. Very expensive trip for me. Good luck!!!!
