    I like the lake, almost always catch fish. If you are going on labor day, I wouldn't bother getting on the lake other than at night or really early. Unless of course it is raining, in which case it will be quiet.

    Wait until after Labor Day...trick worms on docks, topwater on the breaks, jig fishing the breaks on points in 25' or more...deep and clear, bluegill pattern baits work best. I'd fish on Jimmerson or Snow. It's my favorite N. Indiana lake as soon as ice comes off, lots of big bass. IDK where they go in the summer, i avoid that place from Memorial Day - Labor Day. Good luck!
