Super User scaleface Posted February 20, 2016 Super User Posted February 20, 2016 What jig head type will you use ? 1 Quote
Super User Paul Roberts Posted February 20, 2016 Super User Posted February 20, 2016 Oooo! I see a small knoll/point with both submerged cover and overhead cover (overhanging tree, high bank, and shoreline shrubbery). What kind of lake is it? 1 Quote
Super User MIbassyaker Posted February 20, 2016 Super User Posted February 20, 2016 Looks pretty bassy indeed! 1 Quote

It's a corp of engineers flood control lake. 155 acres, lots and I mean LOTS of laydowns. Lots of points and coves. Deepest part of the lake is 13 ft. It has a fifty foot diameter island near the dam. Shallow sloping on one side, drops off quickly on the other side. I have caught lots of 3 and 4 pound bass on the steep side. Hootie 2 Quote

How's the clarity and bottom composition? Never has a visability of more than 10 inches. Bottom is everything from muck, to clay, gravel and flat rocks. One particular clay point that I fish frequently has produced several four and five pounders. A lot of crawfish on that point. Hootie Quote

I have caught lots of 3 and 4 pound bass on the steep side. Hootie Sounds great. I have a similar water -although smaller- generally shallow with depth at the dam and the wash (can't quite call it a creek) it flooded. 14ft max. The best fishing is around the deeper more convoluted areas. Cover is vegetation and a little wood. Interestingly, there are some bass in the depths too away from anything but the depth of that main basin (not at the dam). Found them dragging a lure while crossing it, then casting to them. I'm sure they have some things they like to hang around but I never found anything that jumped out at me. Might just be deeper vegetation changes, or tall isolated clumps. A mystery for the future. So much water, so little time. 1 Quote

Hootie Sounds like you've got plenty of variety. I've never fished clay bottom as far as I know. Plenty of muck and gravel here though. 1 Quote

Super User Oregon Native Posted February 21, 2016 Super User Posted February 21, 2016 Enjoy....hope you can fish other places before that. Having to wait three weeks to fish would be terrible. I know....due to illness I've had to at times. Good Luck 1 Quote
