There are a lot of snags down there so I would recommend bring some backup gear

Easily accessible

Charleston is doing a lot of upgrades to make the lake more accessible for everyone. They have already replaced the dock and added a kayak launch. They are replacing the boat ramp and pouring new sidewalks.

Decent

It’s an okay place to fish it just takes a while to get something. And most the time you’ll snag a carp or you’ll get a bass
