The stories are true....I catch quite a few big slabs there every spring. 18 1/4" was my biggest last year with a lot in the 14"-16" range. Minnows and road runners by far produce best for me there. You can catch them on jigs but the size just isn't there for some reason. Lots of brush piles in there that produce well and of course the shallow brush in the coves when the spawn is on. If you go to the big fish thread you'll find a pic of a nice Brewer slab that my grandson caught last year.
