Fishing Help

I've been fishing small 10-acre lake here in charotte, nc for the past 3 years. It seems that I constantly catch 1-2 lb bass. The largest i ever caught was 3 lbs on a crappie minnow. I usually use plastic worms to fish and they seem to only hit on one side of the lake near the dam. I don't what else to use in this shallow water to help bring in larger fish, I know that they are in there. Please help????? 8)

Josh, what kind of cover is there-weeds, flooded timber, lilly pads? We need a little more info.

theres is not any grass just some down trees and limbs in the water about every 50 ft around the lake, however there are some on the shore over the lake

Try the plastic worms in and around the wood cover-if is is sunny fish the shadows-bass, like people, like to stay in the shade during the heat of the day. Early and late throw a topwater-this time of year the topwater bite is usually on.

i've tried a buzzbait with no luck, do u think brush hogs would work

Only one way to find out-it is a good bait.
