Here is a lake i've fished a few times, http://www.state.me.us/ifw/fishing/lakesurvey_maps/cumberland/highland_lake1.pdf

the northwest has a good bit of rocks, the south west has tall weeds and is about 4 feet what would be your first techniques to try here? thanks and mods please move if this is the wrong section.

First of all, which species of fish are you after? Then what is the water clarity like? What is the forage base? Bottom structure? And any other information you can give.

A depth map alone without the above details is useless.

That link isn't only a depth map it shows outlets and gives some basic outlines of the lake , but anyways the bottom is mucky mostly. I'm after lmb, and visibilty is about 8-10' in some areas others 5'

Darker colored baits. Black/ blue fleck plastics have done well for me in murky waters. Chart Spinners, white as well. Look at the post alright here we go, help. It is about a lake with darker water.

It's my post so I'm in the same boat relatively speaking as you.
