Sounds like Horseshoe Lake in Augusta. The difference is most of the shoreline is COVERED with Cypress and laydowns. But in the summer, those areas are too shallow and don't hold many fish during the day. So the yo-yo fishermen took single stalks of bamboo and shoved them into the mud, which forms a "cane line" straight down the middle of the lake. When the lake is low you can usually pick up one fish off of every second or third one. Not sure why, they just want something to relate to, even if it is a tiny stick.
