Big bass but can be hard to figure out sometimes

Widewater is a difficult place sometimes, lots of deep drop offs, some hard to get to spots and huge bank drops to deal with, but there are some monsters in here because of the large population of gizzard shad.

Good body of water

If you are going for bluegill and largemouth bass this is the place to be. For bluegill worms, grubs, etc). If you are going for bass swim baits and tons other baits would work. There is parking but get there early because it’s very crowded. There is about a quarter mile walk from parking, however it’s worth it.

Good place-Fat bass

Lots of fat bass. My only complaint is the amount of walking needed to get to the actual fishable area.

Widewater

I caught my PB largemouth here during a spawn, but it’s few and far between. The canal is about 30 feet deep in parts so it’s hard to target fish even with a fish finder. Don’t think it’s worth going without a kayak.

Great spot for catfishing

There a great spot on the other side. Used some bluegills and hot dogs caught two average channel catfish the other day, but finding where the fish are can really be hard sometimes.
