    If you are looking for some fun, the hybrids are hanging out near the mouth of Potato Creek.

    Any of you live on WP? Exploring retirement lake property and considering going that way. Be interested in talking about the area or even a day trip to check it out.

    Best is to use some shad if can throw a net but you will get some with poprs, wake baits (I like the Redfin), and either Redeye shad or rattle traps.

    I have a bunch of "old spots "on WP and they haven't had any fish on them in over 20 years. Best thing to do is wait about 2 months and the fishing there will be much better.
