new fishing lake

Featured Replies

I just joined a private lake it is 240 acres full of stumps and laydowns.The channel has 12 feet of water in it,there is also 2 very large docks on it.Very small amounts of grass only in patches. There has been bass caught out of the lake over 10 pounds. I have tried everything including spinnerbaits,crankbaits-lipless to deeprunners,flukes and senkos. I am going back early in the morning I need some help I really would like some sucsess.

well I don't know if u have a boat or not??  Weather conditions play a big part... one day they bite everything the next nothing.....

Fish any visible structure you see....... even fish along dropoffs, points, etc....

May take a little time to get to know the lake and get a feel for it.....

I would maybe try a few different lures next time...... flukes are great lures so I wouldn't give up on it..... maybe try a few powerworms??

dropshot with a zoom finesse worm??  buzzbaits early and late???

I'd probably start off with a spinnerbait and go from there.......

good luck.......

I live in south ga,it is very hot.I am fishing out of a Ranger bass boat.I happened to fish it this morning I was on the water at 8am and the water temp was 88 degrees. I am hoping that the fishing will get alot better when it cools off some.Thanks alot for your reply. I have never fished the drop shot that might be something to try.

yeah the water temp there is still too high...... last few times I've fished the bass have been sluggish....... cooler temps should be on the way.......

for the dropshot I've really been catching them on Zoom junebug/chart. tail finesse worms....... if you don't know how to rig a dropshot can look it up on youtube.com  (it's fairly easy to do and a simple way to fish)

The blue fleck powerworm really for me catches some nice bass... I like to use the Berkley gulp spray and really helps them hold on really long to get a nice hookset........

Get those topwaters ready........ with the falling temps you should start to hammer them on the surface........

Keep chunking the senkos and for sure the flukes........ with the fluke, get a pack of watermelon seed---- it's my main color and really works!!!!!!!!!

Good luck again........ let me know if u catch any??????????? :)
