Yep. Yep. Yep. Go to HWY 7 bridge and look out at all the buck brush on the side of the river. It was pretty much like that. I miss those days of fishing that stuff. That stuff was in the middle of the lake. I remember one year the water was so clear, we'd drop down 10-15 feet thru one of those bushes and you could see the fish hit and fight as we brought them up. Only issue was the water was so clear, the bass were hitting a lot more than crappie. Many moons ago with my dad. I was just a youngster but still remember like yesterday.
