SPEEDBEAD Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 PA lakes are very similar to what you describe, typically looking "bowl shaped" with not a lot going on under the surface. Like it was mentioned, what we may think is just a little drop might be a key piece of structure in a lake mostly devoid of any contour changes. Look for the less obvious stuff and fish it. I also don't prescribe to needing weedless lures to fish grassy lakes. Unless that sucker is matted the whole way across the lake, there is a weed edge somewhere. IMO, that weed edge serves as structure in a structureless lake. Fish where the edge makes inside and outside turns, they fish just like little points. Good luck and welcome to the obsession.

chren Posted July 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 Alrighty, no picture (at this moment) due to my being on a phone, so it's just another fisherman's tale for ya Recently I picked up a mattlures U2 bluegill and a mattlures baby bass and took them out an hour after they arrived. I casted right next to a big ole rock sittin up in a foot of water and WHAM, a bass hits it. Not sure if it was providence or pure luck but I pulled out 4 1/2 pig outta that spot. I could tell it wanted that lure bad because I pulled the hook on the back of lure out a few inches in front of the(pardon my bad taste) "sphincter" in the throat of the bass. Needles to say I'd be lost without ya'll and just wanted to thank you all. Solid forum, great people. Pictures comin up soon. Tight lines, and all that jazz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eFISHnc Posted December 14, 2021 Report Share Posted December 14, 2021 If you have a fish finder try looking for submerged rocks. Even if your banking it Garmin makes a castable transducer. Bass like to chill near rocks this time of year. Especially if the lake is shallow and the sun is penetrating water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great advice, but bad timing lol. Not sure if these guys are still following this thread 8 years later. that castable transducer seems like a game changer for bank fishing! I'm selling my yak soon so I might need to invest in one until the next boat willlliw, DrewManFishing and JRHorne 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David R Posted December 15, 2021 Report Share Posted December 15, 2021 @Fattony just moved out there if I remember correctly. Not sure how close to you he is. He makes baits and is most likely down to fish if you guys are close enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
