Thanks Tom, I have spinning reel with 8lb Berkly Flourocarbon Vanish (gold) and will try some of the things you mentioned. After reading the posts I think the main issue for me is location. I've been trying the techniques everyone has mentioned just not in the spots that everyone has said to go. I was starting to think maybe the reservoir was cleared out, who knows, it might be. I won't make that decision till I get a few more outings trying everything that has been suggested. This is the type of place where if you ask 99% of the people, on every day I've been there, "Have any luck?" their answer is always "none at all". Almost everyone uses live bait also, jumbo reds, night crawlers and creek minnows. I really appreciate all the help guys =) P.s. I attached a photo from google earth, maybe it can help you guys how to determine anything else that might help!

Thanks tmier, bluebasser and avid I've never tried a neko rig (guess I haven't tried everything!) I'll have to give that a shot for sure. I've kinda stayed away from the wacky rigs by the pads because I get hung up so much, but I'll give that a try too. Texas rig is hard for me to be patient with haha, but I'll try my hardest. I think the bass are really well fed at this lake also tons of tiny blue gills and minnows everywhere!

Hey everyone! I've been reading BassResource for a while and decided to join, lots of great info and a nice community. I'm getting really frustrated with a reservoir I fish about twice a week and rarely ever catch anything. Right now I know it's summer, so I've slowed down and I am doing some drop shot fishing, but no results (almost no results ever at this place). I fish from shore and I am in a wheelchair so kind of have limited access to places I can get to on the reservoir. I attached a map of the lake with places I can get (outlined where I can get to with red color) to and was wondering if anyone had any tips for me? Maybe where to try on the map or lures, technique etc? The reservoir does get a lot of fishing pressure and I would say 70% of the people there keep just about anything they catch (ignoring size limits). Any help would be appreciated. P.s. I want to try and stick with artificial baits. Some additional water info Lake Temperature: 78 Degrees Water Clarity: 32 Inches
