Love that lake.

 

Popper, senko style bait, topwater frog, Jig(flipping would be mine)or soft plastic rig, and a camera.

[Roy]

What's a farkle? Is that like a blue Angel on July 4th?

[monsterfish]

I agree with Harrison, but don't forget a few spinnerbaits!

 

Keep your hooks sharp!

[BITEME]

What's a farkle? Is that like a blue Angel on July 4th?

 

The word is generally accepted to mean a combination of "function" and "sparkle", hence, farkle.

thanks Harrison and mofish

[Roy]

Ahhhhhhhh a new word for me. Thanks. You might try a few leopard frogs, deepish in with the boulders while you're having your lunch.

[adempsey]

What kind of bass?

[Beans]

Jitterbug

tubes

senkos

lipless crankbaits

Fin-S minnows or Gulp

 

All work well just north of there...

[OhioFisherman]

1.) Plastic worm or lizard, I prefer Zoom but it`s your choice. Junebug is always a starting color for me on any body of water, you can mix up the sizes, from 4 to 8 inch and fish them weightless, texas style, carlolina style, or even on a jighead. Carry a lighter color such as watermelon or watermelon blue glitter. 4 inch size works well for smallies.

 

2.) surface lure, you do want to be able to strain the water, cover all depths. Hard to beat a buzzbait as a search lure, it will cover water quickly, again choices. A weedless frog, tiny torpedo, jitterbug, hula popper, devils horse, zara spook, even a Johnson silver minnow and pork frog.

 

3.) shallow runner, your choice bandit and manns makes some good ones.

 

4.) medium runner, bandit, storm.

 

5.) dredge, a jig and pig, deep running crankbaits, slow rolling a spinnerbait, jigging a blade bait.
