Before that i atleast caught 1 every week or 2. my question is what kind of bait and or fishing gear should i use for this? it is a VERY weedy, slightly murky, no tree overhangage, there is a spot with lillies but i ahven't had succes there ever. Any help?

- My advice would be a Zoom Super Fluke, or a Bass Assasin. It could be that there may not be many fish in the lake, and they may be wise to the baits that you are using. I have never in my life not caught a bass in a farm pond on these baits. They are really the same bait, buy different manufacturers.
- Are you seeing fish? Could something have killed off the bass? I would try some live bait, (minnows, worms, crayfish, etc..) to see if the fish are still there.
- OK I would use a weedless frog. its a good bait for BIG bass here look http://depesca.com/tienda/products_images/panthermartin/SUPERIOR%20WEEDLESS%20FROG/3FROG.gif it skips along the surface of the pond and draws the bass out of the weeds to investigate whats jumping around in the water. Good Luck
- That's strange, i don't see why the bass would not take what they were taking before, could it be that the levels of fish have been decreased, you need to talk to the other people who fish there to see if they have been having the same problems as you.
- Ok, for bass i usually just catch any smaller fish such as a bluegill or sunfish with a small treble hook using cheese and then once u have got one get a big hook and hook it from the roof of the mouth through the head, i suggest at least 8lb test
