We just got back from four days of camping at Crown Point campground. We caught lots of bass along the shoreline from Crown Point past the culvert to the bay to the North, including a couple around 16 inches I released. The area is easily accessible by a footpath made out of an old rail line. Had some fun topwater action in the mornings just using a floating blue and white rapala. The path starts at the entrance of the campground with free parking. It's about a 1/4 mile walk to the Point, then fish the rocky bank Northward.
We also caught a few trout while trolling the same shoreline. I broke my line at the knot after a ten minute battle on something huge that kept swimming under the boat from one side over to the other. I casted my tube jig over to where he surfaced (jumped?) and the fight was on! Most of the fish we caught were within casting distance of the shore.
Good luck and have fun!
