Went last night from 7pm till 2am. Found them anywhere from 1fow to 25fow. Mix bag of LM, and Sm. Fished the points, and bluff wall straight east of point 2. Used tubes with 1/8 jig heads for smallies off bluff wall, and 1/2 football jigs for LM. 12 fish total. Best fish a 4.7oz. LM. Hope this helps.

If that is the bank just south of the State Park its a good one. Always holds some nice largemouths.

Watch out for the morons. There are nocturnal ones, too, especially on holiday weekends.

Good tip Champ. Be sure to have your lights on if you are out there especially on the main lake and out on a point. My 60 year old uncle got ran over at night straight out from the Old 86 point about 3 years ago. The a$$hole was letting his 14 or 15 year old drive his bass boat at night and completely went over the top of my uncle and his boat doing around 30MPH. Good time to let someone learn how to drive a boat when you are that age...night time. Uncle now doesn't like to fish at night at all. Scared him that bad. Had to get the whole top cap of his Triton fixed by the factory and had to get a new engine. Ended up costing HIM about 2-3K. So be careful at night if you go.

That just sucks, abkeenan. Common sense is not only uncommon these days, it's darn near extinct.

Indeed Champ. If my uncle does muster the courage to go out at night he has a HUGE light now on the back of the boat. Like twice as tall as the standard and carries more lights in the boat if he see's one that might be getting to close gives them a shine with it. Glad I wasn't in the boat with him when it happened. Not only for fear of injury but once on land maybe inflicting some injury on the driver after the fact...or passenger in this case. Things than can be so easily avoided and end up tragic piss me off to no end. Like you said common sense is just not common anymore.
