i usually fish in a shallow lake called lake washburn, that is near my house. i no ther are bass in here because it is stocked annually and is not fished heavily. The biggest bass i have caught ther is about 3 pounds but all the other have been mainly dinks. It is a fairly big lake butt only about 40 feet deep at the max.        

what can i do to catch more fish

this lake is in kentucky soo its not that cold yet but has cooled down lately.

I fish a lake about the same depth in sw virginia. If its warm a torpedo styled bait works otherwise I would just try jigging main lake points. If  there are beavers look for their lodge things that they build nowhere  near a stream, they give me good fish. If the water is low I wouldnt bother fishing shallow. Thats been working for me lately.

How many acres is your lake?
