First read Jimmythegreeks posts and his replies to others that have askd about LH....he shares a lot of great info about that lake. I would then suggest pick one species to target for your trip and then pick one or two "areas" of the lake to focus on at the best time of the day for that species. You need to factor in the weather forcast of the day you pick as well becasue that changes things on a big lake. If you go there without being that specific in your attack you could just get overwhelmed and spend alot of time paddling around and guessing. That's when it gets frustrating to me. Keep in mind too....even if you don't "slaughter" them you will learn just as much about the lake and how to approach it. It takes a lot longer to learn how a big body of water behaves in different conditions and how the fish relate to that. So don't discount how much you can learn by not catching fish as well. Fianlly don't put too much pressure on yourself to catch ton of fish....just go out and enjoy dude...that's all part of the experience. Good luck.
