Been there. I took everyone's advise and rented a boat. Glad I did. As others has said. Its not if you hit a stump, its when. And you will. I have a ranger bass boat and I will not take it. Blue Bank is where I stayed. Nice people and awesome food. Good location. Couldn't find a better place to stay. If you do take your boat, IDLE. IDLE speed only. Motor trimmed up as much as possible. Its not a huge lake. You can idle around and get anywhere you need to catch fish.. They will show you on a map the areas to go.
