I’ve gone here countless times, and even in conditions that aren’t that great I usually manage to not get skunked. The fish here are solid; they don’t hit it that hard but they fight hard. The bass in here that I mostly catch are around a pound and a half but they are always very healthy looking. There are plenty of bigger ones in here too. It’s a great spot for catfish and the bluegill get giant. Most of this small lake is bank accessible.
