It has some of the nicest crappie, white perch and shellcrackers around, if you can find them.

I agree 100%, I fished it for a few years, and only caught a few white perch big enough to eat. We caught those by seeing them bust the surface. Everything else is always small. I have caught some nice bluegills on accident, drifted into shallow water, and was not paying attention. But I have pretty much given up on it.
