Only fished it once. Extremely clear water, didn't seem to be a ton of structure to focus on. Have seen pictures of fish in there and they are monsters, I couldn't move any in a half day trip...

Can't help with the fishing, much. I got blanked there 2 weeks ago. Seems to be mostly rock for structure. Couldn't find any expanses of weeds - just small areas.

Hopefully you have a Lakemaster or Navionics map and/or chip ? The old DNR lake maps don't show the size or shape of the rock reefs/humps/bars very well.

It's one of those lakes you have to put some time before you 'get the hang of it'. Like most said mostly rock stucture and some reeds. If it's overcast and some wind you can fish up top of the reefs and along the reeds, otherwise drop back off the structure and watch your graph for under water points and deep structures. DR, 10" Jakes, Big Dawgs, little deeper stuff gets first pick most of the time for me. Don't over look trolling. Saved the day for a few of my buddies lately. Pulled a 45"er out of 40' of water a few weeks ago. You'll just have to try stuff out, that lake skunks some of the best local anglers more than they would like to admit.

good luck!
