Captain Brad uses live bait, cut bait, and artificial lures depending on conditions, with downriggers and planer boards helping cover water efficiently when fish are suspended in open water.
The lake's numerous points, humps, and creek channels provide excellent structure fishing opportunities, especially during cooler months when stripers move shallow to feed.
