How would you fish this??
ok im gonna be fishing this small lake from shore, its only about 15 acres. i was just wondering how you would go about fishing this from the shore. No boats are allowed and i dont think there are many big fish. I just seem to get caught in everything.

That is some nice looking water. I would try a frog of some sort, a Buzz Frog or the one fishin dude posted would be great. Texas rig a Tiki Stick (or a Senko if you must) weightless and work it in and over the weeds. If you can get to a place where you can cast along the grass instead of over it, throw a spinner bait and a wacky rigged worm (I like the Zoom Trick Worm).

Some sort of frog flavor and a bass assasin should do they trick.

I believe in general, shore fishermen should thoroughly fish visible cover and structure, otherwise, cover as much water as possible to learn any patterns that might exist. Don't rule out any type of lure, just fish whatever is appropriate for the cover and other conditions.
In that weedy-looking stuff, try various weedless topwaters. Also work soft plastics, such as Senkos, jerkbaits, tubes, etc., over and around that vegetation and let them fall into holes and edges. Good luck.

If you can cast out over the weeds/scum you might try rigging a senko or something on a wacky rig and hook up a bobber. That would allow it to sit suspended along the weed edge, keeping it in the strike zone longer. You could also target holes within the weeds themselves.

Its more fun to drag a weightless senko over the top of the moss, and watch them explode on it

When was the pic taken? I see the Ohio DNR tag, so am I correct in guessing this is a summer picture with all the vegetation, or is it there as we speak? Makes a big difference on how to fish it.

granted, it wouldn't be warm enough here yet to fish it, but soon the buzzbait will come to life in these parts.
