I (Bo) am planning on spending Sunday night at the cabin so that I don't have to kill myself trying to get home.
This time of year, a good variety of spots, largemouth, and smallmouth should be caught.

Lake Wilson is known for rough water when the wind is pushing into the current. Click here to read a story about a young man who braved 6 foot waves in his 16 foot jon boat to rescue a drowning bass fisherman. This happened right below the dam.
