I’ve fished it once from the dock at my girlfriends uncles cabin. We pretty much just sight fished a couple bass and some bluegill that were hanging around the boat lift while the others were out for a boat ride. We used small jigs with a power grub on it to catch those, because i didnt think to buy any live bait beforehand. I would have prefered to use live, but we made artificial work or us. The only place I know of with a descent brush pile is in a location where you’ll get run over by the big boats, but there are several around the lake. I’ve seen other people fish in the finger where the cabin is, but never seen anyone be real productive.
Give it a try cause no matter what, it beats working.
