ive done both shore and boat but its very shallow there you need a smaller boat they have a ramp right there for 16 ft and smaller. we have used jigs casting out to the warm water and reel back in. when they get going it can get crowded from shore there is not a lot of room to fish unless you can take boat to the other side its a little walk and they have a fence up so you can only walk to 1 side. went by there yesterday no cars in parking lot so i think its still a little early
