Bass Resource: http://www.bassresource.com/fish_biology/angling.html " Are largemouth bass "smart?" Well, that probably depends on who you talk to and what they are doing. So, we won't try to unload that loaded question. However, we do believe that largemouth bass can learn from past experiences." The Old School Bassser...

I fished Lake Bill Waller, Lake Columbia and Lake Paul B Johnson. All three less than 250 acres in the fine state of Mississippi. Those lakes received heavy fishing pressure from bassers of all stripes of ability. Bill Waller & Columbia produced/produces 10 lb. plus bass. They are stocked with Florida strain LMB. I fished Lake Bill Waller when first opened and the catch rate was excellent. After a while, could still catch them but not nearly as good. They did become educated. Time on the water.

I have read, been told, contrary to what most folks might think, most big bass are caught between the hours of 10AM to 2PM. The Old School Basser...

Spinnerbait is my #1 lure to start the day off after the top water bite. Having said that, I'm catching more on plastics, especially worms. than spinnerbaits so far this year. With the dog days on the worm will be the mainstay presentation for me during the Summer months. Good fishing. The old school basser...

I use Zoom Finesse worms in various colors. I use baitcasting 10lb. line and spinning 8lb. line. Tru Turn hooks, 1.0. Weightless and Texas rigged depending on conditions. Weights 1/8 down to 1/32 oz. When the bite is slow or fast, great presentation to have in your quiver. The old school basser...

I once fished with a gentleman who walked the dog with the frog in open water. He caught 'em. I never was very good at it. I use the Spook. The old school basser...

I don't, I take it to a professional who cleans and repairs reels. Fishing reels today are sophisticated with many moving parts I can't keep up with. My service does it well and I take my reels in to them on a rotating basis once a year. The old school basser...

Great post. Where I live there is major flooding. I fish several flood detention basins in the Bayou City area. There's a bridge on the walking trail for walkers that is normally 10 feet above the water level. Not now. High water. I went out to fish and noticed a gentleman at the bridge who was pulling in bass, nice bass, with ease fishing at the bridge. I learned he was using a Zoom Super Fluke weightless. Blew my mind. Most of his bass were 2lbs. and up. He did tell me he was a tournament basser and member of a bass club. . Nice gentleman. Never too old to learn. The old school basser...

So true. Lee Trevino in his prime had one of the ugliest swings in golf but corrected it within two inches of the ball before impact and is considered one of the greatest ball strikers of all time. Bass Fishing: we are all different and styles of fishing come and go. The old school basser...

For most of plastic fishing, especially worms, Tru Turn hooks. I've never had a gut hooked fish using them. All in the lip or near the jaw. Old school basser...

Your link states this lake has been around since 1955 with a 550 ft. dam and 55 ft. concrete spillway. This might be kind of like a flood detention waterway with other lakes draining their water into your lake, too. 75 acres is not the biggest body of water but it's bigger than most subdivision waters. You have 2.2 miles of shoreline. Average 5 ft. of water with some being 10 ft. probably at the dam.. The state DNR is involved and the final paragraph stated: "Our lake supports a diverse population of healthy fish, waterfowl and invertebrates – and a wealth of recreational opportunities. It truly is our community’s “treasure”. Enjoy it, and help us improve it". I'd work with the right folks to improve it and happily fish it. Old school basser...

I live in Texas. I got a well off friend who will call me from time to time and ask me if I'd like to go to Lake/Reservoir Conroe with him and bass fish. You betcha. There, I will have my Spook since Lake Conroe is a very big reservoir not anything like a residential subdivision. The smaller bodies of water the Zara Puppy is the scaled down version of the Spook. By the way, I love small State Park waters, National Forest and urban and rural smaller bodies of water with our prey the LMB.. http://tpwd.texas.gov/fishboat/fish/recreational/lakes/conroe/ Have a great evening.

There's many a basser who would like your situation. I've seen these kind of ponds/lakes since I live in a large urban area and fish them. Don't underestimate it yet. Get up every morning at the crack of dawn and throw a top water like a Devil's Horse or Tiny Torpedo. The little Chug Bug is deadly, too. . Walking the dog with a Zara Puppy, same. Then go with a 1/4 oz. White spinnerbait single blade with gold or silver. Chartreuse/white skirt, too. Try a weightless Zoon Trick worm in June Bug. Everything is relative. A 5tlb iLMB n some circles is laughed at. Other places where they fish it's a joy. You're up north and maybe the spawn is still on? I'm a Southern Boy so I don't know. Good Luck.
