This lake's big bass were AWOL today. I fished early then late, about 6 hours total, on a very warm and windy day. Water visibility was only about 5 inches, so I tried a blue/black Senko, a chartreuse Senko, a dark blue Zoom craw, a black spinnerbait, a white/chartreuse spinnerbait, a Pop-R, a fat white square bill, a buzzbait, a Whopper-Plopper, a dark fluke, a chatterbait with a black/chartreuse twist tail, and a white Fat Albert grub tail on a 3/16 oz jig head. I would stop and anchor so I could fish slowly and methodically, but the only thing they bit at all was the Fat Albert. I boated four bass between one and 2.5 lbs, and I had another on that got caught up in the lily pads and came off. No idea how big he was. Anybody got ideas on how I could have done better?
I used the on-site boat, and it was clean and charged and problem-free.
