Sorry, I've never fished it so I was waiting for someone else to respond. It's a bit large for me in my little kayak  |

Well where do you plan to launch?
What are you looking to catch?

Get a map of the lake, thats step 1. If you're fishing for bass, the standard bass fare works: senko's, spinners, mepps, top water etc.
Fish islands, drop offs etc. pay attention to depth changes and weed lines, Candlewood is known for its deep weed line which is ideal for SMB. |

I've been on Candlewood only once. There's a natural rock wall just to the south of Gerard's Marina that held smallies when I was there.
