fishing shadow lake middletown- what baits/lures to use

[Dirty]

I'm local to Shadow lake and I'm planning on going tomorrow morning (8-4). I was wondering if you have been there lately and how the fishing has been? I'll be out on my kayak so getting won't be a problem..
Do you or anyone else know when they're suppose to if not already start dredging the lake?

As with anything involving politics, it will be awhile before any work begins. Google Shadow Lake Dredging for more info.

Small boat fishermen have this lake all to themselves. Just have to push pole a hundred yards or so from the boat launching area. It's loaded with fish, nice sized ones too. I've always done well with shallow running cranks and sluggo type lures here.

My buddy and I have fished it twice this year, once two weeks ago and about1.5 months ago. It was a great day 2 months ago. However, we went 2 weeks ago, and not only is it very weed choked, but it was a very brown murky color which was surprising because it hadn't rained for a couple days.

We didn't get a thing two weeks ago and the only hits we had we a splash up around a frog on mats, and my buddy had 2 hits on a orange/black bug. That was about it. Definately a good spring spot.
