ive been fishin a small local lake about 3 acres of water for the past 2 years and have never pulled out a bass. ive seen others pull out 2-4 pounders and have seen some big ones swimming by but i cant put one on myline at all. there is little cover in thislake, a water drain in one end and mostly trees leaning over from shore touching the water. nothing else. you cant get in a boat to go out in it, the water is really nasty and i keep nothing out of there, its a really really dark green or brown constantly and i cant find anything that works, can someone give me some help?

yea i go to the same lake too alot of bluegill, crappie, and catfish but no bass.

hah this guy caught a trout in there before he got a bass

how were the exams splat?

I think I would try to find somewhere else to fish.

well, you see, its the only nearby lake, and we cant drive yet. i was supposed to get my license may 23rd but i never got around to it.

yea cant wait to be drivin, ive been fishin the french broad for trout and muskey more now, and its within walkin distance of my house, are there smallmouths in there too? does anyone know

Try a bait with really bright colors.  You may also want to add a rattle.
