First of all "hats off to ya'" to the experts out there...excellent work. My question: I own property on a natural spring fed lake that is at LEAST 45 years old, the water is clear (had some lab testing done on the water...some 97.38% pure) sand bottom except for this nagging algae like grass on the bottom. Fishing anything with a weight directly on the bottom is impossible in every season except winter. The depth is Max 23 feet and only 2 "drop off" holes exist or so my depth finder tells me and they are only 6 feet or so (they drop off slowly for about 20 feet). They are in the middle of the lake with no cover. There is abundant vegitation (lilly pads,"dollar weeds" and some grass that resemblestall lawn grass) in the shallows and virtually none deep. No topographical map exists for this lake. It is moderately fished with only small fish (0.5 to 2.5) caught regularly but i have caught 2 14 pound bass. I know the fish are out there and have read every article imaginable but still can't get the fish to bite. I am mainly a finesse fisherman using small, light baits but have experimented with spinners, cranks, jerks and spoons with little success. What can I do to improve my game. Thank you in advance and once again my gratitude for keeping the big fish biting.
