I disagree. You should go to the very east end up against the midway turnoff. Park in one of those pullouts along the highway anywhere along the rocks there next to the weeds at the east end and along the shore from there going west. If it's cloudy or evening, you should be able to pick up a few perch and a lot of dink smallmouths in the rocks there with just a simple worm dropped below a bobber. Just cast it out next to the rocks or about 5 - 20 feet out. Once you find what depth they are at, which is often right near the bottom in this shallow water next to the rocks, you'll get plenty of them. If there's no wind you can even watch them down there hitting the worm. Sometimes they'll investigate without biting, but slowly moving the worm around or reeling it in sometimes entices a strike. Usually though no movement is necessary.
If there's a little wind causing riffles, they'll move up a bit higher in the water column. I've caught plenty of them along there with this method, including a few bigger smallies, a couple small largemouth, lots of perch and even a couple tiny green sunfish that hide under the riprap rocks along the shore.
