Default Re-post of a question...

Hey all, with the spam explosion of the last couple of days, I'm afraid that
a lot of you might not have noticed a post I made a couple of days ago. So
this is a re-post, sorry for the length. But I would value your input.
(Thanks, Steve and Josh for your insights.)

I'm going about halfway up the lower peninsula of Michigan the next to last
week of August. I'll have everyday access to a 100-120 acre, natural lake
that gets relatively little bass fishing pressure. In the past the water
has been clear, with visibility anywhere from 10-20 feet. I don't know the
average depth of the lake, but I do know it has flats around about 75% of
the shore perimeter that extend about 50-100 feet. Then there is a
substantial dropoff from that point into the depths of the lake. Substantial
lily pads mirror the dropoff all the way around the lake.

The southeast arm of the lake is a relatively shallow cove (about 10-15 feet
deep), with lots of submerged vegetation (I don't remember what kind,
sorry - I think it was relatively grassy?). I've caught a number of fish on
texas rigged worms in this section. I also have had success in the evening
with topwater lures in this corner.

The west corner of the lake is visually unremarkable, but I always seem to
catch the most fish there, using texas-rigged worms and flatfish lures,
working them back toward the center of the lake. There are also a nice
number of perch up to 10 or 11 inches in this corner.

The northwest side of the lake has flats that are about 100 feet wide, and
then it drops off into a system of (visible) humps until it gets too deep to
see. I have never had too much success fishing there, though I've seen some
giant snapper turtles swimming there (up to nearly 3 feet wide across the
back!).

I have had similar success with worms and flatfish on parts of the east side
of the lake in terms of bass fishing.

My question is - what techniques and lures would be best on a lake like
this? I do not have access to electronics, so I'm fishing blind. I know it
's hard to tell me from my meager description of the lake, but :-) ..

Thanks,
Nate
