Yep thats the spot! if you work that whole cove, you will do well.

If you want to catch big Bass. Go to the end of the lake at Lakes end in Mt Arlington in the spring as soon as the ice is off and throw Rattle Traps in the channel.  Just don't tell anyone. not a lot of people know about that.

Stripers are best in the spring around Brady Bridge.
