Fishing from a boat is advised due to shallow waters near the shore; daytime is more productive for fishing. Varied lures are recommended for successful catches, and spots near the causeway or where water drains back into the lake should be prioritized. Consumption of fish is discouraged due to possible contamination issues, and traditional baits like nightcrawlers may not prove effective.

Fishing seasons
The fishing conditions at the spot are relatively stable, with consistent temperatures and calm wind patterns that make for a stable fishing environment.
