can be good for barfing early on... wouldnt recommend bbing as it puts the bar guys in a tight spot with guys above and below surrounding them.. stick to grassy its better for that sort of thing

Used to very productive especially in the Fall. I have not checked it out but will let you know when I do. It can be snaggy but when I fish it I just test the area using a small weight and find where the snags are in a certain area.
