location: new england(mass)

water conditions, gin clear, 15+ft visibility

air temp 75-80

water temp, guessing around mid 60s.

sky mixed/sunny

little to no aquatic vegetation, depth 7'-20' ft

some stumps, rocks etc.

I went here once last year for smallmouth, but ended up running into a few lm at the end.

its a very different body of water than i am accustomed to fishing(lilys,shallow ponds,milfoil/grass.

and its a haul from me relatively speaking.

i have no fish finder.

 

thank you!

Perhaps take a page out of @Will Wetline 's play book.

He fishes Quabbbin and does well.

^^^Yup; Ned rig and drop shot; natural colors; 4" green pumpkin wacky senko; small swimbait on a light head

Ned rigs, Bitsy Bug, 4” shaky head rig, popper, and a small crankbait like a shadrap is what I would start with. I fish lakes exactly like what you described and I do great with this group of presentations.

Whatever you throw, make long casts and give your bait time to sink into the strike zone.

Sounds like a great situation for Ned Rigs, crankbaits, jerkbaits, and Senkos.

Natural colored craw dragged slowly on the bottom. 

crankbaits, just changed often it not working until you find what they want or senkos hard to go wrong with

Add a T-rigged Hula Grub into the mix.
