  1. its a 10 acre lake averaging 6-9ft in depth with a few areas going to 14ft deep and one area 17ft in depth.
  2. its has 9 islands with an average depth of 3ft surrounding water, with nearby shelves at each island
  3. its has a large head of , some over 40lb, several over 30lb and numerous 20s
  4. March 2008 has seen 5 over 30lb landed
  5. Yellow baits with pop-ups working well
  6. The margins are around 3ft deep and seem to be productive during warmer months
  7. There are a few groups of large lily pads in the lake
