We recently had a new fishing spot open up in our area. The city bought a very old sand pit and is making a really nice park out of it. It is around 40-50 acres. The water is extremely clear. I have been told it is up to 60 feet deep in places. Most of the shoreline seems to either drop off straight down or it has a ankle deep shelf and then drops off. There is a very shallow area on one end, shallow enough for me wade out a pretty good distance. The vast majority is deeper water.
I have fished from the bank 3 times and caught 3 total fish. I plan to take the boat and fish it soon. What is my best strategy for fishing this kind of pond/lake - from the bank and boat? I am a longtime bass fisherman but I have never fished anything like this before and it has me befuddled. All three of the fish I caught were on a chartreuse weightless 3" senko. I tried it out of pure curiosity since nothing else was working. All 3 were also caught wading in shallow water. What is the key to the deeper water?
By the way, the photo of the plants was taken at a wetland pond behind the sand pit.
