Thanks everyone for the responses. Perhaps I was not as clear as I should have been. The lake IS fresh water, and I have seen large mouth bass. So I apologize for not being more clear. The lake is fresh water. It is somehow affected by Spruce Creek. I have caught a fairly large catfish. Anyway, sorry for the confusion. I have been fishing all my life and I was surprised when I saw bass and mullet in the same water.

I moved into a home on a fairly large lake. It's fed by a salt water creek. It has catfish, Tilapia, mullet, and best of all large mouth bass. My neighbor tells me that the lake has a large bass population, with 8lb fish and bigger. I have seen them crashing the bank for bait fish. Anyway, to get to the point, I have thrown cranks, spinners, jerk baits. I have put baby brim on a bobber, and free lined baby brim. It's been three weeks and not even a strike. I have been a salt water fisherman all my life, but I would like to add bass fishing to my life long passion. Any suggestions as to why the bass won't even take a live baby brim, not to mention lures.
