Fished this location on March 16 from 8-4. Weather conditions:

Temp: 61-77

Water temp: 63

Cloudy most of the day with a steady wind  

Water clarity was 2ft

I ended with over 25 and culled 5 of those  

In the morning, fishing a medium diving crank (red, black, chart ) along the dam was very effective.  Met the owners father during lunch break and we talked a short while.  Returned to fishing the dam and Steve and Seth arrived from checking on new properties and we talked as I never had the opportunity to actually meet them. 

Steve gave me info from their shocking and it paid off.  Decided to keep trying a rattletrap and it paid off around  the standing timbers.

Great to hear Bill…..my son and I are headed there tomorrow! Looking forward to seeing what this lake is all about. Are you having any success at all on soft plastics?

Also, has the issue with the automatic gate been resolved?

Andy. Gate issues seem to be resolved. Since they were still hitting on cranks and traps, I did not try soft plastics. Interested in results if you try them. 

Good luck
