3 weeks ago the fish i was in were at about 8-15 ft. now i get everything from 1-5 ft but that will vary at different places
Many people know more than I do though

6/6/2010 10:49:00 AMI have fished this lake for decades and one of the best tactics that i have found for fishing this lake is with a ultraviolet light at night time. This lake has massive crayfish because it mostly consists of rock bottom and the big bass use this to advantage at night time which is when the crayfish are on the move. The lures that i found productive at night is topwaters with a lot of action and noise (buzzbaits,jitterbug,propbaits). Crawdad plugs and spinnerbaits work well at night time to on this lake. I use big baits at night on this lake. A home make wooden jitterbug (6 inch long) is one of my favorites. I have caught quite a few 5 and 6 pounders on this lure with the biggest bass that i have caught weighting 8lbs 9ozs. Hottest days of the year are the best times for night time. Best section of the lake for me at night is left of the public boat launch around the docks clear to the lilly pad fields. lure colors to use at night is black with a rattle on lures that can be equipped or come with (example Rattles on spinnerbaits or rattling plugs).
