I've been bass fishing since I was 10, but for some 36 years nearly all of it was on the same lake. It was a private lake about a mile long with many coves and some great bass fishing. I knew every drop off, every weed bed, every spring, every submerged rock, what lure to use when and always did quite well. I probably caught hundreds of bass over the years, many in the 4-6 lb category (that's pretty big in NJ)

About 4 years ago I put jonboat on my neighborhood lake and started fishing here. Small lake - maybe 300 yards across, but it was an easy lake to fish and I've done well at this lake too.

I recently purchased a trailer and boat and have been trying out new places and have been humbled. 8 hours on one lake and with one baby bass not much longer than the lure. Half a day on another without a thing. Two days on another with only a tiny smallmouth to show for it.

I basically discovered that everything I knew about bass fishing didn't amount to much. So here I am looking for tips.
