Nice write up WAVINGSWAN, can't help you but interested in any reply's you get.
You are welcome and hang in here. Plenty of fishers from your part of this great country.
Also you can always find who fishes that area by way of the user section at the top of this page and send them a private message.
I have bass fished the lake for 32 years, looking for a little change. Thanks again and have a great day
I would stop at Fitz's bait shop. Those guys are so eager to help and they have a huge clientele that shares information about the lake.
I appreciate the information, thank you.

I usually fish off my dock in the Grand Glaize arm of LOTO and do pretty well using frozen (thawed) shrimp or minnows. Worms and/or crawlers just get stolen by bluegills hanging out under the docks. There's always a catch of nice size eating catfish, 18' or so. Haven't caught anything really big, say 10# or so, but then they might be in deeper water. Fishing off the dock is anywhere from 8' to 23' deep. Some of the bigger coves in that arm will probably yield some nice cats. The lake seems to be loaded with them especially if you have kids in the boat and they drop food over the side. Sooner or later you'll see a catfish come up to the surface and take the food.
I appreciate the information, thank you.
Catch some shad, I use a small casting net, and hook it on live. Then place a weight about 2 feet or so from the hook. The weight makes the shad struggle swimming and sinks to the bottom. Catfish love them. You will catch some nice ones.
Thank you for the information. Happy fishing
