Hello the forum, I have been fishing my favorite lake in N.W. Oklahoma for about 50 years.(Lake Lloyd Vincent)(About 700 acre lake) This lake underwent a complete kill by the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife 4 years ago and was re-stocked with perch, large mouth bass and catfish. I started fishing the lake again this year after a 4 year illness. I fished today from sunup for about 4 hours. I worked the shoreline with worms and spinnerbaits, and finally pulled a 4 pound bass. This was my only strike and only fish. This is my third trip on the lake this year, and this was my first strike and first fish. The lake has a lot of brush, a lot of bloodweed, and a lot of trees and tree stumps. The deepest part of the lake is near the dam, and is about 30 feet deep. Most of the rest of the lake is in the 12 to 15 foot level. The North end gets shallow, down to about 3 feet where the river runs in. The water temperature is 80 degrees F. and pretty consistent all over the lake. I don't see a lot of fish on the sonar.The water is clear. The sonar is a Humminbird 787C2i and I fish from a Lowe 170 bass boat. Wife was with me today and never had a strike. Something is wrong, and I can't figure it out. What do I need to do? All ideas are appreciated. Thanks.
