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 ?

Default east texas bass fishing problems

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

Email me your mailing address, I will send you something that will catch
those fish .

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 :-)
