Hey all...need some advice on how to fish a spot that I've had several skunks in a row at.

Anyhow...here's the situation: Fishing from shore at a small, shallow lake with very little structure. Can't seem to find spots with fish. However, the lake has had a severe algae bloom recently with huge patches about 20 yards off the shore. The depths range from 5-12 ft I'd say and I can only assume there are fish hiding in these weed beds. Especially with 100+ degree weather.

This place is very high-pressured and difficult to catch fish. When you do, they are on plastics and they are few and far between. I have never caught anything on a lure of any type, while fishing topwater, spinner baits, etc. Lots of live-bait fisherman, many of which are poachers so I'm sure the bass population is dwindling by the day.

If you were to fish these weedbeds, what would you use? Topwater is fun, but I have a difficult time finding confidence in ANY hard bait here.

My first inclination is a weightless Senko, but after making 10+ trips here with only one multi-fish day and several skunks, I've just about had it. I like to fish, but tough fishing is a PITA.

I would find somewhere else to fish. Otherwise, try this:
