A lot of it will depend on water clarity and water temperature. The lower end of the lake tends to clear up faster and it provides some good spotted bass opportunities. Fish around points and creek mouths close to rocks/brush piles in 20-30 ft of water. Drop shots or jigging spoons work well in the colder months. If you want to try and land a few largemouth bass you will need to head up towards Manoy, Madwin, Elkahatchee Creeks and look for some brush near the middle of coves in 12-15 ft of water using jigs or crawfish colored square bills. Fish em slow if the water temp is below 50 degrees. If the weather is warmer the afternoon and end of day bite will work best up there because water clarity tends to be stained and the surface temps climb much quicker. Good luck.
