Below are pic's of my neighborhood lake. This is one of the 2 neighborhood lakes I fish when I decide at the last minute to go fish, usually an hour or so before dark or when I don't have time to go far.
This lake is at least 25 yrs. old and max depth, that I found so far, is 30 feet. Average depth is about 8-10 feet. The lake is very clean and clear with visibility at times up to 10 feet.
The bottom, and I mean darn near entire lake bottom, is made up of grass. The grass begins at the waters edge and is found as deep as 15 plus feet deep.
It gets to 3-4 feet in certain ares of the middle and as deep as 9-12 feet within a few feet from shore in other areas.
The biggest Bass I know of being C&R was 13lbs. It may have been caught and kept since then but I don't know. I sure the heck haven't caught it yet.
My lures of choice are Watermelon seed worms, Beetle Spins and small Rapalas and small diameter line due to the clear water. I have yet to try live bait.
These are just a few different parts of the lake. it's actully fairly decent in size.
This is grass is about 4-5 below the surface.
