Default help fishing lake

the lake here is split into 2 lakes, not very big on either side. the west lake (trolling only) is approx. acres and the east lake (skiers, tubes and jet skis) is approx. 163 acres. i havent fished the west lake very much, normally just go where i can run my big motor. on the east lake theres a lot of grass, not a lot of timber laying in the water but there is some. ive heard theres only about 4 spots that r offshore that hold any bass and the lake is way over fished. only way ive caught them lately is on a ribbit frog on top the grass. the lake is about 18 ft in the middle. not sure what else to try or where to try it. any ideas would b helpful

Try pitchin a t rigged soft plastic like a Craw Papi or beaver bait with a 3/8 oz tungsten weight pegged to the hook. Find the thick weedbeds near deepeer water and main lake points and pitch that bait right down inside any open pockets and work it on the bottom. That is probably my favorite way to find bass on heavily fished lakes, other than night fishing when others have gone home.

i met a guy last week that has helped me a lot but would still like to figure some other things out. he likes to flip a green pumpkin chigger craw with a pegged 3/8 weight. only thing ive caught like that is the 3 bluegill i hooked tonight haha. tried a crankbait on a ledge tonight and caught a small white bass. had a nice bass blow up on a frog but i got ancy and pulled it away.
