I fished Lakeside, Martin Mills on 8/10/19, starting at dawn but only lasting to 3:30 in the heat and grind of summer fishing.  I caught 12 LMB, with 3 culls and 9 released from 2.3 - 4.28, with three 4s and three between 3.36 to 3.76lbs.  The water level is down about a foot, water temperature is high 80s, 87-89 degrees, and grass is starting to grow in shallow areas and around the shoreline.  The grass appears to be cleaning the silt from the water because the visibility has changed to about 24+ inches between the dock and the dam.  The picture below was taken near the boat launch area.  Not the best quality picture, but I would guess about a 20 inch LMB, in 2-3 feet of water, so you can judge the water clarity.
