I REALLY need help (picture included)

[trevor]

This is a local pond that holds some bass. I've recently been frustrated there, trying without success to catch bass. I will give some facts about it and see if y'all can help me catch some fish there.

FORAGE: SMALL baitfish and bluegill.

WATER: Actually appears quite deep, VERY clear, and air temps average about 90.

COVER: Bottom has lots of vegetation, some fallen trees, rushes, and branches. No rocks.

Access: Picture has labeled areas of greatest access, but there are lots of little spots in between.

I've managed to catch some shallow on wacky senkos and spinnerbaits, but I think they might be gone deep with the hot temps.  >

In my mind when you say they've gone deep that means:

1. Jid with a rage craw trailer fished very slow

2. Texas rigged large worm slow (thumper would be my pick)

3. Carolina rigged large worm slow

Good luck!

Are you fishing from shore????

Yes, I am fishing from shore. I was thinking about a carolina rig. I am pretty sure a jig won't work, due to the heavy, tall grass on the bottom.

[evrgladesbasser]

Jigs can be worked through thick grass I do it all the time. But you have to go slowly or you'll lose em' all day. And get one with a weed guard. My first choice would be the t-rig though

ok thanks for the help.

I would be working that little hump off to the left of #5.

trust me, all you need is any texas rigged worm. preferably junebug with a 1/4 oz weight. cast, let it sink all the way to the bottom and gently drag and hop all the way back to you while remaining contact with the bottom. looks like a neighborhood lake where I like to bank fish, and i slay em with brushhogs when all else fails. every now and again i'll catch one on a crankbait or beetlespin, but the texas rigged plastic is my all time quarterback when bankfishing.
