Good luck getting a boat off the trailer. The ramps were in a bad way a few weeks ago. Thermocline is around 18ft, so look for points and pumps in that range. A C-rigged trick worm or ZZ freak with some purple in it will get you bit.

I was told to use the small ramp, be careful. Lot of fishing schooling in the afternoon.

Throw an upside down Carolina rigged--smithwick clown colored rogue (one suspend dot on the nose), with a bobber (8 foot leader needed) and stink bait trailer on 45lb mono in about a foot of water with the wind in your back at dusk. :-)
In all seriousness, just go fishin dude. It's a good little lake chalked full of good fish.
Oh, and use the one lane ramp and be careful brother, it's low! Good Luck and welcome to the best bass fishing board on the planet!

What he really means is throw everything you have in your tackle box for a few hours at a group of fish circling a light after dusk. If you don't get bit on the first 100 casts, don't give up , just keep casting!

...What he really means is throw everything you have in your tackle box... What he said... When Bass Johnson talks about Athens, people listen...
