The fishing there is decent. I fished there a few times early this year, when the water was still in the 50's and did OK. The nearest bait shop to my knowledge, is Tollivers off Delaney-Millport Rd, a little south of the park. I hope you like crowds, that place gets way too many people IMO. Also this time of year the lake gets over ran with vegitation, almost making some parts unfishable.
