New lake and a slow bite...

So the last couple Fridays we tried a 107 acre lake hoping to find some nice bass fishing. What we found instead were dinks. Three the first time and 1 yesterday. We had about that many strikes, but they were small fish as well.

The lake is relatively shallow with the deepest spot being around 25'. Water is fairly clear with alot of vegetation on the lake floor. There's no lily pads. Bear in mind we don't have a depthfinder so we couldn't really look for structure. There was alot of exposed tree stumps and logs which we fished.

We got there late around 7:00 and used mainly greenish or brownish colored soft plastics. Baby Brush Hogs, Trick worms, Finesse worms, curly tails, Tiki sticks... Yesterday I also tried a shiner colored Rattle-Trap.

So there's the info. Any suggestions for some relatively new bass anglers on a new lake? Whatever advice you guys could give would be greatly appreciated. It's bad when the fishing's so bad you're glad when you catch an 8" bass. ;D

Thanks all!
