Yeah, bro. It's one of my favorite places, but this time of year is unpredictable. Usually somethin' going on, though.
What BBTV said about the perch is something I've never experienced myself, for instance, so I'll have to try it. The perch even being there was new to me the past few years. The flats to the south of that marina used to be loaded with bluegills, warming up in the shallows from about now until June. Any cover, even tumbleweeds blown in to a corner, within in the Marina as the water warms can hold bluegills, crappies, bass, and now perch, I guess.
Cast all around for white bass with jigs and spinners, etc. Might as well plunk a worm o the bottom. Sometimes the bullheads want it, but if the WB are a little sluggish, they pick it up, too. Some big catfish come out during early spring, but the action usually isn't fast for me until it warms a little.
I've never caught much in front of the grates, since they built them, so I dunno.....one nice cat, I guess.
If I have nothin' going on after a while, I will wade out from the point (to the south) a couple hundred yards, sometimes even 300, and heave a chunk of carp or WB as far out as I can on a big slip sinker, wade back to shore, and wait. Eventually a 2-6 lb catfish will take it.
