Great part of the lake, it’s a no wake zone from the 36/37 bridge up and the shale cliff in the east bank immediately drops off to 18 feet in most places and it’s a Great place to catch white bass, saugeye, crappie, channel cats, and the occasional Muskie like to hang out here. Good luck and happy fishing!

Prarie Oaks is my spot. Very pressured and can be difficult to catch fish, but a great spot once you unlock it. I have caught most of my PB’s in here and am amazed at the number of species that are in here, stocked or somehow find their way in. Crappie, Large Mouth, Bluegill, Carp, Smallmouth, Perch, Etc. Great spot for kayak fishing as well. Out here at least once a week.
