Thanks for all the info Travis. I know nothing about this lake besides what I read, and all the different maps I'm looking at. Big bait finesse fishing I know what you're talking about.

These bass are big and get big for a reason, I'm sure they eat big meals and not just some small shiners. Bass get big with big meals that come to them, and they are not going to waste energy chasing something down. They get big because of cover also where most people aren't fishing for them like deep trees, or trees that have fallen apart and created structure/cover, old bridge pilings, deep water, or suspended over deep water. A lot of bass fishermen are bank beaters, and they are catching the smaller bass the majority of the time. It's hard to fish deep for those fewer fish, when you can beat the banks and have more consistent action.

Year the south/north wind is what I'm afraid of. Sarah will be in her new Revolution and can cover a lot of water and handle big water well. I'm not sure what I'm taking kinda thinking about buying a Hobie Pro Angler for this trip.

Now I wouldn't mind a few slot to get me into day 2.
