So I’ve fished this place for almost a year. Pretty much a big flat black water mill pond, with only structure being near the dam. Not a ton of bass in here, but there are true giants which is why I bang my head against the wall trying to figure it out. 
 

most of my success has been flipping the cypress trees which is what the green marks are. This is a fairly pressured place roughly 70 acres, so I feel it’s worth the time to fish off shore and into the deeper water. 
 

I’ve mapped it with my Garmin and this is the main fish able area. The rest is under 2 feet and over grown with hydrilla.   Where would y’all target here?
 

 

IMO go look at the hump/ridge (sort of a draw, depending on where you are starting) that connects the two deeper water spots, and the cypress on the far right near deeper water. Last thing would be to just start in the deep spot and start moving in the direction of interesting things... like the flat on the way to the 4FOW. Or the shoreline that appears just above the 6 foot marker. My hunch is that there's another population that hangs out on what passes for structure in the lake, and may move up to feed... just don't know which direction. 

 

Think about the 10' to 5' not as just 5' but as 50% more shallow. Said another way if you tripled all the depths, are there things that pop out as interesting?

thanks!  I’ll give that a go!
