I'd try some topwater like a spook or buzzbait until sun comes up over head, try a spinnerbait soon after, maybe a mann's -1, then go with a senko or tiki stick, and then the Zoom Horny toad, if none of those yeild any bass, go to dead sticking a tiki or senko

well since you said clear water i would go with a flourocarbon, and for weeds i would say your best bet is rat-l-traps and senkos on a 10 lb. flourobcarbon line should work, try more natural colors of lures though!

LOL. old Hoosier here. With the clear water and the veggies, I would definately drag a mojo rig though the weeds. Topwater should be decent early and late. Buzzbait are a great choice, or spookin it wouldn't be bad. Sounds like a smaller lake, where is it located at? I always could catch a fsih or 2 on a Lizard also, that's where I got my name from rotfl. I use Superlines, so you can see I don't believe that stuff about line visibility means anything. But if you feel better about it get some P-Line copolymer for your reel, or just use a leader of Flouro.

gary
never throw a frog on any thing less than braid.. the hook up rate soares using it against mono..i belive the hook set needs to be very solid. not to mention 90% of the fish i catch on them are deep in weeds and a hook set/weed clearing yank is a priority..some thing you can not do effectively with mono unless it is 30+ pound test.. zooker zooker

Welcome to the forum!
I'm with Zooker-throw a frog on braid. As far as he clear water, natural colors-green pumpkin, watermelon seed, watermelon red, etc. and for hard baits the same-shad or crawfish colors.
