Man,I love that lake.I used to fish it a lot.Caught my pb speckled perch (Crappie) there.Looking at the map that F.F.F. provided,it was just to the right of the cut between the big lake and little lake.In the big lake about where the number 17 is on the depth .I can't tell you anything about the offshore fishing there because we didn't have any electronics then but there are some good deep holes in it.I imagine that Rattletrap's and Cbaits would work out there.We fished the Cypress trees and docks to take most of our fish.The bait we had the most success with was a moccasin culprit worm.Fished a night tournament there once and all I caught was an old trot line.But it has plenty of double digit fish in it.If you drift some minnows acrost the deep holes or fish brush piles with minnows or roostertails you should pick up some nice specks.I'd use shiners for big bass in there.

I know some people that have fished it and talk about off shore wood and brush piles.  Some have been dropped by people..  They keep those piles top secret.
