OK ...here's the situation. I'm fishing today actually. Here's the structure..

The shoreline is a mat of hydrilla. There are cattails here and there and also patches of lily pads. The shoreline is made up of islands.I'm fishing an old phosphate pits made up of many islands. Along the islands the water is about 5 feet deep but 4 feet of that is thick hydrilla. Out about 15 feet off shore it's between 10- 15 foot deep. I pitched for 3 hours without any hits. I didn't see no bass beds either. I remembered Josh caught his bass in 10 foot of water ..so I forced myself to fish in deep water and leave the shoreline. I caught 3 like that but nothing over 1 1/2 pounds. I also saw a bass about 25 inches. She was about 20 feet off sure. The water there was 10 feet ..the hydrilla 9 feet thick .She was on top of the hydrilla.


How do you guys fish when there is nothing happening on the shoreline?

PS In the early hours I also threw the weedless white spinner bait
top water, texas worm...carolina worm ...Norman deep crank bait..
Nothing . My 3bass I caught were on red shad..Texas rig.
Here's the place..check out all those islands.The black marks are where I've caught big bass before. I fish the lower right side..reason..big boats have a hard time getting there..real low.
