Bass Edge and The Facts of Fishing

Went out this afternoon for 2 hours on Lake Wilson and the Water temp was 58. Water was lightly stained and I caught 2 decent fish. I caught one by flipping a jig around boat houses and I noticed a stump on my depth finder that looked like fish. So i backed off and through a rattle trap and I caught my second keeper. I tried to do the same thing with some other docks but I had no other bites.

I am lucky at where I live. I live in North Alabama only 15 minutes from Pickwick and Wilson. I live only 30 Minutes from Wheeler. I can navigate a lot better on Wilson than Pickwick because I have only fished Pickwick 2 times. I have always kind of been intimidated by Pickwick. I have been fishing less than one year and I am not very knowledgeable about any of the waters other than WIlson. I have increased my knowledge thanks to this website (been a lurky for a while, but just now started asking questions). I have had luck the last few outings of locating small fish but no size. The way I have been fishing is I just go spot to spot that looks good. I know thats not the best way to approach it. I fish plastics more than anything and have a lot more luck with them but I want to learn a lot more. Thanks for all the replies so far.

I have been fishing for about 1 year now. I have been trying to increase my knowledge as much as possible. I know on the water experience is the best type of expreience. I am having a hard time locating fish when I am at a new place. When I am at the lake I fish all the time I try all the spots that was good earlier for me. If the fish don't bite I really don't know what to do from there. I would really appreciate Any Advice.

Thanks for all the replies. Going to give it a try tomorrow. I will be fishing for about 9 hours.

Thanks guys. I am fairly new to fishing and I am trying to increase my knowledge as much as possible. With clear water and water temps around 50, what would be the best way to rig the bait? Should I rig it weightless? Or should I rig it with a nail through the belly to help get it down further? THanks again for all the replies. I Love this site.

Will flukes work the same way as a hard jerkbait? Or is it too early to fish a fluke type bait.

I am fishing Cedar Creek this weekend and I have no clue what to look for. I have fished this place once with no luck.

What would be some ideal types of spots around shoal creek area? Would it be better to stay on main lake up around six mile creek or to fish shoal creek? I have a 30HP motor so I can't run too far. It takes way too long.

Do you go all the way up to the dam and drifty back or do you focus on any paticular place? Thanks

I caught every fish on a Green pumpkin finese worm. It was rigged on a 1/8 oz spot remover. I missed about 10 strikes. I also threw a red eye shad, spinnerbait, shad rap all with no luck.

I am headed to Wilson Lake in about 30 minutes. Good LUck to you. Let me know how you do.

I fished pickwick today and caught about 35 fish. All but 8 were small. I had one that weghed 3.8 lbs. Water was real clear and water temp started at 43 and ended at 46. I had a great day fishing.
