Got signed up for this a few weeks ago, was wondering if anyone on here has ever participated in it?

I've fished it a couple of times in the past...been 3ish years since I've fished it.  The times that I fished it, there were a TON of fish in there...but all small.  Biggest fish overall won, not total weight...so it was a real crap shoot.  Fish seemed to hit anything and everything right away, but then the activity died down.  Can't beat the convenience of it!

Where will a guy find the deeper holes on this lake?

not sure how deep your looking for as the lake it used for sking in the summer, but I was there last year all I can say is dont forget a bucket as they will not take dead fish for counting.
