New to fishing looking for bass

[gdn443]

Hi Joe and welcome to the site. I assume your talking about the resavoir on 68? That is a good bass lake from what I'm told. Bass fishing is tough from shore due to the bass moving around from water temp., time of year etc. My last two trips I've gotten my bass with a fatshad type crankbait. They where in 8ft of water stageing there to wait for the water to be around 65 so they will start to spawn in the shallows. They should be bedding down this week or next in shallower water, so it maybe easier to catch them from shore. Look for areas with sandy, gravel, or look for spots on the bottom that are light colored circles about 2-3ft in dia. Senco type worms in watermelon [Green / black flake] fished weightless with a #4 offset hook work well, as does a fluke fished the same way. Click on cabelas to see the lures I'm talking about. Good Luck and keep trying, your not fishing for sunfish anymore.[]
