Those days of your grandfather are long over. LOL. It's still a beautiful lake. Bass fishing is still pretty good. They have some monsters in there. Crappie fishing is usually good in March and April, but tough after that. Lots of grass takes over. A friend went Saturday. did not catch a single crappie, but did catch a 6 lb bass on a crappie jig. As soon as it warms up just a little bit more, I'll be out there.
