Welcome aboard, Chad. I frequent SML - usually in the spring and fall. Hate the rec boat traffic there in the warmer weather. One of my fav places to fish in the winter. We have a section on this site dedicated to SML - recommend checking it out for background, fishing info. Can't beat the state park for an outing w/ the kids. Lots of good structure, cover in there to fish. And it's all out of the way of the boat traffic. You never have to leave the no-wake area.
