Deep, shallow, Winter, Summer they always run on the small side in this area. Have fished these areas for years, caught literal bucket fulls out of each creek mouth but have just concluded over the years that one creek is better than the other..size wise. The only factor I see of any difference is the proximity to the Main Channel. I catch the bigger fish in the creek that is closer to the Main Channel. The lake in general has an overall good population, size and numbers, just certain areas tend to hold bigger fish, at least for me.
