DaubsNU1 Posted September 27, 2021 Posted September 27, 2021 I've fished the lake probably 5 times now...caught a few 3 lb bass, lost a really nice bass...but overall, it hasn't produced. Thoughts, suggestions?? What am I doing wrong? I've tried: Spinner-bait, white (most productive, caught all the big bass on this lure) NED (few smaller bass) Senko, black-blue (hooked a nice largemouth, but broke off), green-pumpkin Buzz-Bait, black Wacky-rig Senko Square bill (bluegill, silver, white, craw) C-rig Plopper Drop-shot Worm Jig-n-craw Jerk-bait Area's I've concentrated on: Boat Docks Rock / Rip-rap in all areas of the lake Reeds Deep holes in Southeast corner Lilly-pads Rock points throughout the lake Found schools of baitfish along North shore...caught nothing Thanks!!

bassh8er Posted October 1, 2021 Posted October 1, 2021 Docks and more docks; and try not to get robbed or shot in the parking lot. I’d make the drive to fish many of the lakes in western IA before trying to fish Carter. 1 Quote
