I searched this question on google and this is where it sent me. I joined the website, and If you are looking for ideas in an algae filled lake I have one. If there are any large islands of algae surfacing the water then take a heavier softplastic and hook it weedless (preferably not to long), cast across the island and reel across it. Bass will be waiting under the algae for shade and see your lure. They will jump out of the water to attack your lure, but wait around 1-2 seconds before trying to set the hook.
