I fished it all day Tuesday, starting in the rain and ending in the wind. Was able to thoroughly "baptize" my boat - made the first fishing cast from it and caught the first fish. After that, it was one 2.5-lber after another with the occasional 1.5 and one beautiful 4+ lber. Drop shot with a curly tail grub caught the most, but the big one came on a white chatterbait, slow-rolled along the dam in 30 ft. Nothing in the shallows, probably due to the cold front. Couldn't find an crappie either, but I didn't really look all that long. Was going to do that this morning, but when I got to the lake it was blowing whitecaps and I declined to launch.
It's a beautiful bass lake, and I will go back. (BTW, the brand new Sleep Inn five miles from the lake is one of the nicest places I've ever stayed. Lonny's BBQ and the Pig's Ear are great places to eat, too.)
Pictures to come when I find my camera...
