5/22/2013 2:55:00 PMyea, had a day like that today ... nice sized trout within 10 or 15 minutes, then nothing after that ... girlfriend caught a nice sized bullhead hiding under a tree stumb a foot away from the shoreline, lol... but yea, second time fishing this lake... notice a lot of people just sitting around for hours, watching their rods and waiting ... doesn't seem like a lot of action at this lake or just my bad luck... I've used buzz baits, spinners, gulp leeches on carolina rigs, grubs... nothing on any of those... dying to catch a bass but no idea where to go to catch bass from the shoreline.

5/30/2013 2:25:00 PMDan Boone! thank you! I realized I miss-named it after I posted a second time and put in the correct name of Gissberg the second time I posted but I don't know how to fix this post... :/
Juan, my best luck catching trout on this lake was to be in the middle of it on a boat. I've caught a few off the shoreline and it pretty much seems like luck of the draw. I have had similar experience with using different lures. It seems (from what I have been doing) that this lake is a traditional worm and bobber kind of lake... which is sitting around watching the pole and knowing how to tease them a little until they give a good bite. I'm not sure where to find the bass in here. There are not a lot of docks or indents for them to hide in so I would guess they'd be more on the backside of the lake where it is mostly very bushy. WHERE did you find the catfish and what bait were you using?!?!?! I want to catch one out of there!!! The last time it was stocked with catfish was in 2011 so they must be starting to get good sized. How big was the one you caught?
