There's a good variety of fish in there, if you can find them. Have you seen Tubedude's Willard maps?
You floating or bank-tangling?
Water temps are still pretty chill, so you probably won't find fish chasing too much, so slower presentations. Chub minnows on the bottom, carp or chub strips. Everyone likes worms - from the Walleye to the kitties.
Jig heads with a twisty tail, white or chartreuse get good reports. Tip it with something, and bump along the bottom.
There's a nice beach area in the N. Marina, lots of folks float a feather jig under a bobber for Crappie. Light bites though, use as small a bobber as you can manage.
Just stay out of the inlet at the S. Marina - it's closed for spring spawn.
Take a look at some of Tubedudes Willard posts, and you'll see the kinds of plastics and baits he offers up.
And hey - welcome aboard!
