Caught a decent 3 lb largie this morning under the Degraw Ave Bridge
And lost another. There is a deep channel under that bridge which usually produces in the summer months.

What do you throw under there? I've always tried chatterbaits and texas rigs and got nothing.

Found a good vegetation free portion of overpeck with good access and good fishing. There is a park just north of route 46 bridge with a football stadium and sports fields on the east side of lake (across from the Samsung building). You can park right next to lake and plenty of good access spots without 25 yards of slime lining the bank. Caught this guy today on my lunch break on second cast.

The lake has always had an algae problem but I feel like the lack of fish is responsible for the weed bloom. Saw a schools of minnows and sunfish though so there's definitely baitfish for stocked bass and catfish to thrive on.

Also the Carp population was wiped out by the fish kill, which could also add points to the weed bloom since they're bottom feeders. They probably controlled the weeds.
