117-acre lake in Grant County, Kentucky. The lake tops out around 40 ft. The depth chart is built from real state fisheries GPS surveys, so the humps, channels and drop-offs you see are measured, not guessed. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
Shoreline on the chart totals 5.3 miles. An index of 4.2 puts the bank firmly in maze territory: point after pocket after cove, every one a casting target. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 58% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. End to end it runs roughly 1.1 mi, about 0.5 mi across. It sits in Grant County. If the bite dies, Williamstown Lake is 12 mi to the north.
Early season largemouth bass use the shallows, holding in 2 to 10 ft. Summer is an 8 to 20 ft game here, winter a 15 to 35 ft one. The chart's best answer is Shallow bay flat — weed flat, 2 ft, prime for spring. Best bite is early morning and the evening. Tie on a texas-rigged 10" worm or a deep-diving crankbait and you're in the game.
