I live on a small lake, about 90 acres and this year becuase of the lack of rain the lake level is down about 4 feet. What is the depth of the lake (deepest part), how far from the normal banks (on average) has the water receded ? can you reach deep water ? Are you fishing from the bank or a boat ? Has anyone been catching fish ? Has there been a fish kill ? How many people fish the lake ? -- Rodney Long, Inventor of the Long Shot "WIGGLE" rig, SpecTastic Thread Boomerang Fishing Pro. ,Stand Out Hooks ,Stand Out Lures, Mojo's Rock Hopper & Rig Saver weights, Decoy Activator and the EZKnot http://www.ezknot.com |

I live on a small lake, about 90 acres and this year becuase of the
lack of rain the lake level is down about 4 feet. I dont know if it is because of this but i cannot seem to catch a fish. I have tried everything on it from, cranks, spinners, top water, worms, flukes, and virtually everything in my tackle bow, i've even stooped low enough to try a minnow and bobber... Now i cannot figure out what to through at these bass, nothing is working. The conditions outside have been actually pretty nice, not to hot sunny days and little to no wind, which makes me think to use a topwater. The wierd thing is this lake has always been great fishing i have pulled out a 13.56 pound bass and 1.89 pound black crappiie.... what im tryin to get at is i am in a slump and i cant catch anything, if anyone has any advice or if you have been through this yourself please help me out....any info in appreciated. thanks |

the deepest part is probably around 15 ft when it was full, and its
probably down to about 12 or 13 ft now... i can walk out about 10 ft from where the lake usually is ya i can reach deep water i have tried fishing from a boat and bank, carolina rig, texas rig...everthing i could think of no on ever really fishes the lake, its a lot of older people living out there... fish kill.....well there have been a new pair or alligators around for about 3 months, but i dont think they would make this big of a deal, do you? bait fish are everywhere, so i know the lake is dead..... thanks for your help, i appreciate it |

It sounds to me the fish have a lot of food easily obtainable, because it's concentrated , have something that will get them to hit even when they're full , when it works, I only ask you to brag about it on line :-) -- Rodney Long, Inventor of the Long Shot "WIGGLE" rig, SpecTastic Thread Boomerang Fishing Pro. ,Stand Out Hooks ,Stand Out Lures, Mojo's Rock Hopper & Rig Saver weights, Decoy Activator and the EZKnot http://www.ezknot.com |
