If you have not been you need to go. Lake is full of 4#+ fish. I went last year at the first of June. We sight fished. Caught about 15 or so that were 3.5# or larger. Most were mid 4's. It was a blast. In one area with sand bars you could look around and there were at least 30 that were 3.5# or larger. They were about to spawn so they were very hard to get a bite. Find one locked on a bed and you could catch it rotating about 4 lures.

We did see one that appeared to be in the 6# class that just would not lock on. Man I wanted to catch that one. Big fish of the day was 5.30.
