Summary
The jetty extends into the lake, providing access to deeper water without a boat. Best fishing occurs spring to early summer and fall, especially near the rocks or during shad runs. Top baits include live shad, cut bait, or jigs and swimbaits for stripers. Catfish respond well to chicken liver or stink bait. No boat needed—just walk the jetty. A nearby boat ramp is available for broader lake access. Early morning and dusk are prime fishing times.

Angling Safety Guidelines
Check local fishing rules, seasons, size limits, and license requirements to ensure legal and sustainable angling.
Handle Fish Responsibly
Use wet hands, minimize air exposure, and release fish gently to improve survival rates when practicing catch-and-release.
Choose the Right Gear
Match your rod, line, and tackle to the species and conditions to increase success and reduce unnecessary harm to fish.
Respect the Waterway
Avoid disturbing habitat, prevent bank erosion, and keep a safe distance from spawning areas to protect ecosystems.
Keep It Clean
Pack out all line, hooks, bait containers, and trash—discarded gear can injure wildlife and degrade waterways.
