Marrowbone Lake

[gil1]

A friend's high school son is going to fish Marrowbone Lake this weekend. I think he's going to just rent a boat and toss out a bobber.

I know there are a ton of species out there and this is way general of a question, but does anybody have any advice for this time of year? Hot spots on the lake? Tips for different species? What kind of bait?

Thanks so much in advance.

I have had my best luck out from the weed beds with extremely light line 2lb test & crickets.

In the coves, preferably farther from the boat dock... I found decent bass all the way up into the creeks, and caught cats on jugs randomly across the lake. I hear there is good catfishing in the coves but was concentrating on grass carp so I didn't fish for cats up in the coves really. Stumps and submerged trees and logs seem to hold bluegills and I saw most bream up in the shallows. Night crawlers, or crickets as RF270 said, are hard to beat....
