Advice needed

[Jacob Krahenbil]

Hey everyone so on my local lake it is very highly pressured and crowded with fisherman and other boaters. Relatively a small lake 13k acres. Been catching a lot of fish each time I go but nothing of much size. The pattern has been the same my last 2 trips. Main lake cuts with docks. Like I say I have fun catch fish but usually nothing over 2 pounds. Been fishing mainly with shakey head and senko under docks. Lake is about 4 ft low a's well. Any advice on how I should changeup to find bigger, nicer quality fish?

Any points with deeper water, may be time to get offshore.

yes there are some i tried a few the other day however with no luck. However i guess i could spend more time on them. I struggle in deep water.

I had this same question when I was a young angler . Now I realize there is no good answer . You go fishing and try to make good decisions . Its a challenge .

You don't struggle with deep water, you just haven't mastered it yet!

Switch out brands of the plastics... find one that works better.

+1---Larger fish on small pressured lakes will hide out during the day and feed heavily at night. They will roam around so you don't have to worry about finding structure as much. Use a UV light and spool up with a UV line to help in casting accuracy.
