I had talked to a guy 2 weeks ago that had a 7 from that area, and i had a big one that broke the wire on a spinnerbait before I could touch her, but a definite > 5 lb fish. If your buddies are not fishing right around the lake itself, then I've probably seen them back there. I fish from a Ranger 520 (wht, blk, red) w/ Opti on the back. Yell at me if you ever see me back there.
