Grew up fishing it. Awesome lake, but like any lake has its ups and downs.

I have caught many a fine fish from there, almost never take a skunking there, but certainly can.

Haven't fished it recently, I think riplip has or is going to though...

I don't have any cat experience on Badger Creek.
The three rock jetties up by the bridge seemed to be pretty popular the last time I was there. Big Poles, lawn chairs and a white bearded guy singing very loudly and poorly.... gotta be catfishing right?
My bass club has a tourney there later this month.
So whatever bass knowledge I have would have to be handled through PMs... my fellow bass club members are lurking everywhere... everywhere... always watching....trying to steal my information....
