Not OP but have been following as I live in Trenton and am always looking for guidance. Appreciate the tips, went to Prospertown in my Kayak late last season (September-ish) and enjoyed it, but due to the timing the water was a bit overgrown with weeds. Lake was a good balance of size and not too-too crowded.

Will Keep that spot in mind for some shore fishing if I want to wet a line before getting the boats out (water temps obviously still low for me - a rookie kayaker) sounds like there will be bites one way or another starting very soon!
