The lake is very very low and full of weeds and green slime. I would say its about 8 feet lower than normal. If you can find an open space with no weeds you can get fish 12 to 16 long. I got one 14 incher that weighed about a pound when it was hooked but it must of weighed 6 pounds when I got it in with all that grass. I use a brown leach hooked 11 in about an hour.
