They stocked it with Florida bass so generally catch bigger fish, but not large numbers. It’s also not very deep, probably 12’ at its deepest. I have been to all the others listed here, including the ones in Alabama, and while they’re great fisheries, Percy Priest is very good too, and closer. I like that it has everything, shallow bite, deep bite, river fishing too. Largemouth and good smallmouth. Hope this helps.
