There’s a marina in North East where anyone can launch their boat and even rent a marina slip. Funny enough….the marina has amazing fishing, but you can’t do it from a boat – you need to be fishing while sitting on the cement walls. Some of the biggest salmon and bass have been pulled from within the marina while fishing there.

Keep an eye out for the weather – the lake picks up very fast since it’s so shallow. It’s always an important thing to monitor while fishing out on the lake – here’s the link to lake conditions.
