I have a jon boat with small outboard and electric motor permanently housed on Lake Sinclair in Georgia. It's a man-made large body of water, kept rather murky because the level is adjusted up and down frequently. I'm having trouble catching bass here, (but they have tournaments once in a while, so I know they are in there.) I have always fished in clear or nearly clear water that had cover or interesting bottom elevations and drops. This lake is basically very wide with irregular arms, and for the most part just goes from shallow to deep (80+ ft) without any of the humps, ledges or drop offs that I'd like to fish. The shore line is mostly developed and I see fishermen working the docks a lot. Is that my answer? I'm planning on using more buzz baits and spinner baits due to the poor water visibility. Any tips on fishing this kind of water would be welcome.
