This is usually a real good spot for bass fishing.

East Lake can be really, really good this time of year. I love fishing it. I've won several tournaments on that lake. Whenever I get a chance to fish that one, I fish it.

It looks bad but it's not as bad as it looks as far as water in the lake is concerned.

We always have some duck and goose hunters on the water. But it has not been that way this year you just can't do anything with it.

We're very concerned. I don't think we're the problem. We want (the ramp and its availability for bass fishing) to be here for our kids and their kids. I'm heartbroken that they're going to close that ramp .... It's a very nice lake, and it's a shame what's happening.

The fishing is incredible. Getting gas, ice and bait is a problem. There is nowhere to launch, there is nowhere to stay.
