Congrats to you two.

The way the lake is laid out wind is a huge problem if its coming from up north like in the winter. It's almost impossible to stay on the main body due to it blowing right down the lake. Even as little 15mph wind does it.

I would take the bull shads for sure and pickup some of the monster iguana lizards. Dad and my uncle would use 5-6" shiners as well as 12-16" live waterdogs in addition to regular gear. They caught a bunch of nice bass. I'd C-rig the big worms and lizards. There are a lot of trees that are cut off right at the water line or a few feet below. That is why they have so many boat lanes coming and going in/out the coves. It could be 30ft in the boat lane but just outside of the buoys standing timber right under the waterline.

There are a ton literally of slot bass in that lake. That will make for great quality catching but hard because the winner is gonna have to have a couple overs I would imagine.

It's almost finesse big bait fishing it that makes any sense.
