Bill,

Fishing is ok. Its very bass heavy but there are a good population of 5 pounders. The bass are putting off huge spawns and then the adults are living off the bass fry. Relative weight is surprisingly good but fish top out around 5 lbs. I harvested about 1100 pounds of bass out there last year. I plan on working the lake hard again this year and stocking some shad.

you are correct the lake is badly underfished. There are a few serious fishermen out there. One guy (who is retired and fishes everyday) told me he catches about 100 5-pound fish a year. I believe him, the 5's are there.

It will be 95 acres of fertilized paradise with the right management. i'm trying to get some tournys orgainized out there. I dont know if they will allow people from outside the 'hood. its hard to get your foot in the door over there.

Once I get a forage base re-established there will be some monsters coming out of Berkeley.

drop me an email maybe you can fish a tourny with me over there.

later
