welcome to the rock, that launch is a bit nasty but is not for candyasses. the back is a ways away from the launch. did you try the smaller channel to the right of the big island, larrys like to hang around there and like small grub jigs. if you go all the way back to the end of the res you can find a small stream that comes in from the smoke rise woods and bass and crappies like that spot as well .glad to hear you got to dance with some splitrock bronzebacks
