That is my favorite lake, I have spent well over 200 days out there. The mussle inspection is laid back because the lake is already infested as of a few years ago but the infestation is not bad yet... I have only hooked one striper out of all those trips and it spooled me on a 20lbs setup I normally do really good on a ultralight setup for bass fishing. Jig dropshotted nightcrawler colored plastic worms or like 8+ inch live models and you will slay them. Let me know next time you go out and I can show you my spots, I have found using rapalas you end up catching more trout and carp than bass lol I don't know what's up with those carp but they will not touch bread, corn, dough bait, stink bait, worms, only thing they strike is rapalas lol if you get down deep in summer there are huge holdover trout. Get a quality floating trout swim bait and drag it behind you like its a Mac all day for stripers while you cast for bass, need a second rod stamp. In my opinion wintertime is the best time to fish that lake for everything including bass. Hope this helps
