There have not been any reports of this property since April so I didn't know what to expect. Hopefully this report helps other members. The water level is down about 3.5-4 feet so it was pretty shallow in most parts of the lake. Visibility was about 8 inches. It was a sunny day, not the best conditions for fishing, but that is how it is sometimes. My sons and I arrived about 7:30 and fished until about 2:30. The first 1.5 hours was tough as the fish were hammering baitfish on the top but we could not get anything to work. Most of the activity was around several aerators around the lake. We threw some under spins and paddle tails in there and managed to catch a couple around 10am. Then that pattern seemed to die down so we switched it up to using drop shots, chicken rigs, under spins, and t rig craws. We worked around the lake many times and caught a couple each lap. The biggest fish were caught  near the entrance where the fingers are. The biggest landed was 4.75lbs with another 4.5 lbs. I managed to lose a 5-6lber at the boat. Overall we had a great time.
