About this spot

Experience

The fishing spot offers a broad range of opportunities due to the wide variety of fish species, such as largemouth bass and northern pike. The presence of fishing piers, docks, and boat ramps caters to various fishing methods, enhancing the overall experience. Family-friendly amenities increase the appeal for groups, but the rocky shorelines present challenges like gear snags and difficulties in retrieving catches, which could affect the shoreline fishing experience.
Tips

For improved success, consider using kayaks to reach less accessible areas and ensure a supply of diverse baits and lures for the variety of fish species. Optimal times for fishing are early morning and late afternoon when fish migrate to shallows. Effective methods include bobber fishing and spinner baits for both northern pike and largemouth bass. It is advisable to avoid peak wind days and be prepared for rocky shorelines to prevent equipment loss.
