Trouble With Weedy Lake
I am fishing a lake that has a lot of weeds you can see them almost to the surface in almost ten feet of water. The fish are in post spawn are still pretty shallow but we usually throw jigs and they are just not going through the weeds. They are tough to fish and the only luck we have had is on rocky shorelines but there is only a few small ones. We have a tournament coming up and we need to figure out how to fish areas with the weeds so any suggestions would be great.

the first few times we did pretty well in the shallows but the last few times thats mostly what we fished and we hardly caught anything we still saw a lot of baitfish we just couldnt get the fish to bite but maybe they moved out deeper for some reason.

help needed
Ive been fishin a lake called lake bloomington and it is about 700 acres. It has a lot of shad and we have been following the shad and doing pretty well with largemouth but the last few times we have been going through the shad with the same baits which are lipless cranks and spinners. We have only caught one largemouth in the last 2 trips. We tried some wacky worms also with only a few bites but no takers any suggestions?

need help with pond
me and my friend found this pond that has nice bass in it but it is tough to fish we tried wacky worms and crankbaits but the problem is the water is really murky and its also a really shallow pond. my friend finally caught a 2 bass on a mepps spinner one was 19.5 inches but next time they wouldnt hit mepps spinners or the spinnerbaits we tried white with gold and silver blades >. if anybody has ideas it would be appreciated
