My fishing buddy and best friend, Cory "Dirty Dog" Danis, spent 3 hours at Battleground Lake from 8:00am until 11:00 am. We bottom-fished using 8lb test line with a 1/2 oz egg weight, 4 feet of 4lb test leader, size 6 hooks, and pink Powerbait eggs. In those 3 hours we caught and released 16 fish. The smallest
was 9 inches, and the largest was 14 inches. The bad thing about this lake is the heavy competition. I get there early to get my spot (there are two spots I love). If you are not there when the gate opens, the chances of getting a good spot are slim.
