Reservoir Largemouth

[Scott]

I have a couple of questions for you guys that I hope you will answer?

1. There are five local reservoirs in my area. I only target two of them though. The one has big bass but not very much cover. Lots of rocks though. Water is really stained. Any tips or suggestions?

2. The other reservoir i target, has a lot of cover with medium sized bass. The thing about this one is that the water is almost all drained out by my city in the summer time. Only a few reeds in this one but a few submerged weedbeds. Any tips or suggestions???

ok. the first ? has been answered for you many times. unless you dont read, then the stained water ? you should know. for the second ?, how do you know there is only medium sized bass there? unless they have began to drain it, then the fishin should be the same as always. fish a weedless/weightless worm artificial worm over the submerged weeds. and the same for the other weeds.

Lots of rocks though.

That's cover. Since there is stained water and not many weeds I'd throw a lipped crankbait you can pull through the rocks which will bang and bounce off of them and can generate strikes, a lipless crankbait parallel to the bank and a Carolina rig. Stained water + rocks I'd throw either a crawfish colored bait or chartreuse/black or blue back crankbait.

You may not see cover on the bank but trust me most reservoirs have tons of cover that you cant see..stumps, rocks , ledges, old road beds , and small hills and even a channel
Most have fallen limbs that sink from surrounding trees, and most have vegetation
