That's the one. I've been fishing there since 1982. Most of the fish are in the 1-2 pound range (13 - 15 inches) with the occasional 3-4 pounder (16 - 18 inches). It's kind of rare to get anything over 18 inches. You can do okay from shore but because of the limited access float tubing is probably the most productive method.

I have caught fish on almost every type of lure and it depends on the time of year. Some of my favorites include a small texas rigged worm such as the Assalt 4 or 5 inch Salt Shaker. In the summer the buzzbait bite can be a lot of fun (that's what I got the 9 on). Fishing an Assalt Salt Stik weightless along the tules or in the canal around the island can also be very productive. Crankbaits (crawdad or firetiger patterns) can be a quick way to find fish (the 7.5 was on a Rebel Wee-Crawfish).

In 1984 I got a 24 incher that went 7.5 lbs. and in 1990 I got a 25 incher that went 9 lbs.

Most people un-officially know it as a catch and release lake. It is filled mostly by neighborhood run-off so eating anything out of there would probably be kind of gross anyway.
