Im planning on fishing the lake by house this weekend but i just have a few questions before i head out. I'll be fishing from the shore at a spot that i have previously scouted out. It is a large levy covered in chunk rock/small boulders and the water temp is about 54 degrees right now. What technique would you start with in these condtions? Drop shot, jig, jerkbait? Thanks for the help!

Jerk bait, a spinner bait, jig

Jerk bait, a spinner bait, jig

 

Any specific color/size/technique with the jig? 

What is the color of the water and what time of day you plan on fishing?

Consider a senko also. They work great in ponds. 

Never can go wrong with a suspending jerk bait. The limited edition rattling rouge with gammy hooks is my favorite ..

What is the color of the water and what time of day you plan on fishing?

 

I'd say its stained water. Later in the day sometime around 3pm-6pm

Spinnerbait/jerkbait - firetiger, chart and white, solid colors

 

Jigs, worms - I'd go with black and blue, watermelon works for me, pumpkin is always a good choice.

 

Dark and bright work IMHO...dark = browns blacks purples...bright = chartreuse, pink, orange

Any specific color/size/technique with the jig?

Black and blue football jig Dragged slow or short hops

I'l be doing the shore thing this weekend, and I'll be bringing nothing but but short stick and a box of jerkbaits.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

OK, I might bring a jig or ten, too.

Not getting the bullet out John

No, I have to do some work to her first.  Plus, it's gonna freeze again, and I hate putting her through the fogging process.

Yes - all 3, and/or whatever else you have confidence in. I'd start off with the jerkbait and go from there if no responses. Fish slow. And don't leave home without a few Senkos.
