HI Kap, Chapmans is a busy place for Bass boats but there is good fishing to be had. The depth varies greatly so everything comes into play. Use traditional baits, ie; worms, spinner baits on the small side, plugs and try early in the morning or even try dusk fishing. I float in my 8'10" inflatable and fish the shore lines and shallow areas. A fish finder in the summer months will be good too. The shallows are weeding up a bit so fish with weedless hooks. If you want to relax, bring some night crawlers or minnows and bottom fish for giant cat fish and Bull head! I go there often and for the most part, it;s very quiet. The scenery and wild life is worth it also! Keep me posted, ok
