    Heading there in 2 weeks for my wifes family reunion. She reccomended taking my boat to fish. How is it there? I hear primary smallie lake. It is mostly rock? Weed? Any input would be helpful.

    Mostly rock, alot like Milford. Smallmouth, largemouth and spotted bass in that order. Stay on the lower 3rd of the lake unless you plan on going up the river then once past the bridge idle only.

    But be very careful down there. You can see from Melvins post that they do NOT like outsiders down there. Leave your man purse and maxi pads at home and you will be OK. Oh, and for gods sake take off the fingernail polish!!!

    Marina cove always holds fish....cove to the east of arrow rock ramp towards the damn on the south side of the lake...specifically the east side of that cove has always been a good stretch for me too...
