I grew up fishing this little lake, caught my first bass there, it was a little over 5, and like I said in my earlier reply I also caught two of my biggest ever there. The fall is tough on this lake, there are some shad in this lake but mostly they feed on crayfish and bluegills, etc. It should be clear but it will be tough as it is a very heavely fished lake and there are a lot of catch and keep there. It is not the lake it used to be but there is still some good fish there. I would throw topwater like a pop r and throw a buzz bait, also jigs are good on that lake, as far as water clarity and temp well if we have no big rains it will be gin clear, also it is time for it to turn over, also last year it got really low due to the drought and then this year it flooded.It will be tough but fun and have a good time. remember it is t motor only.
