HOW WOULD YOU FISH THIS. PICS!!!!

Featured Replies

Well first off I'd probably pitch a spinnerbait or shallow crank around the sides of the dock, and under it.

As for the tall grass I'd either flip/pitch a pegged soft plastic, such as a ragetail craw, zoom brush hog, sweet beaver, Kreature etc, or flip/pitch a jig through it. I suppose you could also work a buzzfrog through it too, like a stanley ribbit, ragetail toad, or any other buzzfrog that you prefer.

As for the timber I'd first start off workin it slow, with either a pegged creaturebait as stated above, or most preferably a jig. Then I'd finish working it with a spinnerbait or shallow crank.

I'd definetly keep an eye out for sunken cover, and once I found some I'd work it slow with a jig/pegged creature, and finish it off with a spinnerbait/crank.

As for all the open water, to me it really depends how much time I have, or how much open water there is. That lake to me seems pretty big compared to the lakes I fish, and I am not the type of guy that would enjoy spending alot of time working open water with a slow bait, it just takes too long. I much rather power fish it with a spinnerbait or crank. However once I found a notable spot that held more fish then the surrounding open water I'd focus it later on with a slower bait, such as a softplastic or jig.

As others already said, I'd spend some time around the fountain. I fish a pond with two fountains, and I wouldn't say I catch alot of fish 5 feet off of the fountain, or dead close to it, but around the general area always seems to produce well. So what I'd do is fish that general area first off with a power fishing approach (spinnerbait or crank), and then go back and finish it off with a slow approach (soft plastic or jig). To me it doesn't seem like theres much cover around the fountain, though its hard to tell cause the fountain is in the distance. But in open water which looks to be around the fountains area, I do well with soft plastics such as fat ikas, or stickbaits, I've also had luck with weightless finesse worms, such as zoom trickworms, or roboworms.

Btw, thats a nice tongue peircing that frog is sportin ;D.

ps. If you have any confidence in it, you could give swimming a jig a chance, especially around the docks/tall grass, and I suppose it would work well in open water too. Plus the advantage to this would be at any time you could just slow it down, and fish it as you would a typical jig, with hops, crawls and pauses. I prefer ragetail chunks, hulagrubs or doubletail grubs for swimming jigs, anything that really produces good action. And if you have any shoreline with cover along it, like lillys, or small stickpiles etc, then I'd either work it slow with a t-rigged baby brush hog, or work it with a buzzbait/jitterbug, or even a buzzfrog. If the conditions are super clear water, with the sun out, then I wouldn't so much use a buzzbait/jitterbug, but instead swim a weightless lizard on the surface, when the bass can see clearly, I find buzzbaits and some other topwaters to not work that well, while a lizard on the other hand I've found to produce in these conditions.

senko texas or wacky rigged casting to cover. works for me every time
