Jibbs,
Swains has a good 10-12" on it. I live right on the lake so feel free to contact me any time. Send me an e-mail and I can give you the specifics.

fished there a couple days ago...holy cow that place is shallow. Didnt get one flag  any tips on where to go in the future.

If you put in at the boat ramp and didn't leave that basin, you'll never be in more than 2-4'of water. The lake consists of 2 main lakes. I would suggest getting out into either of these and sounding bottom until you are in 8-15' of water. That's the depths I do best in. They draw the lake way down in the fall so you have to get out in the main lake for the best action. Use medium or large shiners hooked through the dorsal fine lightly on tipups, 6-8' leaders of 8lb. flourocarbon of your main dacron line, sizes 4 or 6 gamakatsu octupus hooks in red or bronze, and set the baits between 1-2' off the bottom. Hope this helps!

BIG baits (Giant Shiners or 4 or 5" suckers) along a drop off infront of some of the Coves on main lake. Lots of NICE fish in Swains to be had, both LMB and SMB.
