I'm fishing a 22 acre limerock pit with almost clear water. I attempted today to fish off the bank and caught one two pound bass and several friends caught several pound to half pound bass on finesse worms. There is only about thirty feet of fishable bank.
The issue were having is the pond is approximately eighty feet deep and the owner of the property said he sent an underwater camera down and observed large schools of medium to large sized bass at about forty feet. Being a limerock pit were snagging hard fishing from the shore.
We have access to kayaks and John boats so we can go that route(preferred way). The owner said the pit is not fished regularly. Bass seem to be finicky and aren't used to anything but live bait. Should we attempt to fish with live bait or continue with worms,jigs and crank baits. New to bass fishing and definitely new to fishing a limerock pit.
Whats your opinion? Attempted to upload screenshot of pit but it's too large.
