The water authority mgmt runs 3 feeders near the launch, at one end of the lake, and I was informed they go off at 8:30 PM. The gates are only open to the public 8AM-8PM, after Labor Day 8AM-5PM. So these bream are well fed - at this small area, anyway.
I started really fishing this place a lot 2 years ago. The good: electric-only, few homes on the lake (no docks), near my house, and best of all - no recreational power boaters. The water level is kept full, it is clean and clear. The bad: fished pretty hard - but mostly for bass. It is $5 day, or $50 for annual - the math is easy for me, limited access hours. Hey, I've caught my PB spotted bass, black crappie, bluegill, and redear there.
Due to aches and pains and being older (lazier), I am facing the reality of selling the kayak, and setting up a trailer-launched electric-only boat for these kinda reservoirs. I'm thinking a 14' Alweld panfish with a MK iPilot TM, and of course, move the electronics over. Maybe an Elco electric motor later.
