There is a pier you can fish from at Augie's. I've seen some folks catch a number of sandies there. I'm sure there are some blues down there as well. Other than that pier, I don't know of any decent places to fish EM without a boat. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

She can be fickle but there are some really good fish in there. That lake is usually behind other lakes a little in pattern.
