I normally do quite well there. The pickerel often save the day when the bass are not hitting well.

Just to muddy the waters some more, the Garmin Rino is a great two way radio/GPS comb. I allows you to 'beam' your GPS location to another Rino user. If you hike/hunt/fish with a partner, they are well worth looking at. Even without another Rino user, it has a built in weather radio, alarm...

I often fish there in my bass boat. I haven't been there in my canoe yet, so I haven't made it very far back. My wife & I were there 4-28-09. Lots of pickerel, and she got a very nice Crappy. No Bass:(
