i ride my bike to this nearby lake, its about 5-7 acers. they sides all the way round is COVERS in lilypads, its a private lake but my dads friends with a guy there. Anyways i can take a paddle boat, (i do every day) and always go for bass, the water is pretty clear, the habbitat in the lake should be bass paradise. i do see bass but not nearly as much as i would expect. i am using plastic worms every color the best ones are all dark colors. i am and experienced fisherman, but a beginner bass fishermen. ive fished thier for three days, i think i lost 6 fish but it might have been weeds or small blue gills nibbling on the worm, i am setting the hook as soon as i get a bite, i only caught 1 bass though, it was 17 in'.
anyways. i think i should be doing better since i only caught one bass in three days, tell me if im doing anything wrong, what lures to use, how to use them, or if i just simply need practice. i just fish on the edge of the lily pads and i stand up in the back of the boat, casting and reeling.
p.s. the lake is FILLED will blue gills and are LOADED with big ones to, i caught three 7-9 in of em' all on plastic worms, but i want bass.
PLEASE HELP
