Super User scaleface Posted July 17, 2022 Super User Posted July 17, 2022 I knew there was a pile of pallets in an area and have searched for it off and on for two seasons . Its an elec motor only lake , so searching for it is really time consuming and I rather be fishing than zigzagging back and forth . Yesterday I finally ran over it . My vintage Ealge Fishmark 320 showed it perfectly at 15 foot deep . So I toss a buoy out and fish it for 30 minuted without a strike . What a let down . I was thinking a lunker bass would hit at any time . Oh well , I have it triangulated now and maybe catch some fish from it this fall . I caught plenty of fish shallow , they havent been biting good in deeper water this year . 2 Quote
BigAngus752 Posted July 17, 2022 Posted July 17, 2022 This is going to work out well for you. I found, by accident, an old picnic table that some kids threw in the lake during an ultra-dry year when the water was down. Same deal, small electric lake and this one has huge bass. I marked it on my bow unit and I fished it every time I was anywhere near it for two years with nothing. I've never seen anyone else near it. I kept at it every season and this year I have already caught three good fish off of it. Why now? Why not last year or year before? Only the bass know. 1 1 Quote

Super User Bird Posted July 17, 2022 Super User Posted July 17, 2022 Your luck is better than mine. Ran over a large brush pile during the winter in 25ft of water, probably 200 yards offshore. I chose not to mark it at the time thinking ehhh , this lake is only 50 acres. I've made several attempts, even several hours and can't locate it. Won't make that mistake again. 1 Quote

I have been searching for this , I recieved a tip about it last year , at the end of my fishing trips . Yesterday I decided to look for it first thing and was ready to give up . I was actually heading away but got the urge for a couple of more passes . 1 Quote

Wow , it seems like they would be great cover . These are on a featureless flat devoid of breaks or cover. Quote
