I have fished these for bass and pike. The largest pike has been 39″ but have seen larger ones. We have only caugth the large pike when the water tep was under 62 degrees in the bays off the backwater channel. The bass have been tucked way back in the thick pads and under trees you need to work to get back to them. Slugo’s , scum frogs, and spinner baits have worked well.

If it rains the day before you fish the small run off gulches that are often dry can be good spots if water is flowing. The kinny seems to have a fish or two but rarely have I seen numbers of people do really well probably because it is such a high traffic area.
