My cousin and I fished there about 5 years ago out of a paddle boat. We caught tons of blue gill. We were fishing in the souther 1/3 of the lake. Every summer our family goes and stays at Village West for a week. If you are taking the whole family it is a pretty good place. 3 pools, 2 mini golf courses, arcade, etc. Its a pretty fun place but might be hard to get a place for a week there.
