there's a warm water discharge here from the water treatment facility, so overall the water here is warmer and attracts lots of fish during the colder months. lots of bass, snakeheads, carp, catfish, big sunfish. During the cold months, fish baits slowly or use drop shot or dead sticking methods for those stubborn bass. live bait does the trick too.

%2Ftix54d32esqbpqpuen1ffbyklyks&w=48&q=75){kind=small}
first of all I came here to fish and fished for 3 hours with no luck. then just minutes before I was going to leave the Cops pulled up. apparently this is a private lake and only residents are allowed. I got a 400$ trespassing fine and a $200 fine for being illegaly parked. don't risk it, it's not worth coming to this place.
