My brother and I fished there early March 2009 cold windy wet weather if I remember correctly, super clean heated fishing dock and we fished while watching the first round of the NCAA basketball tournament. Didn't catch a lot of big fish but we constantly caught crappie while we were there most of them were just under legal size. Best bait was a 1/32 or 1/16 oz jig with a with a Berkley Gulp Alive Chartruse Fish Fry. If I go back to LOZ next spring we will go back to Knotty Pine. That whole area is lined with docks so I think you should have plenty good fishing spots up there but I have never fished there in May I'm sure someone who fishes there a lot can tell youmore about that time of year. Good luck.
