don’t own a fly rod, considering it but also would like lures you could throw on a spinning combo

Caught a few 2-3 pound bass so far in the deep, clear water by throwing a chatter, letting it sink to the bottom, and then slowly retrieving with some pauses every now and again to let it drop back down the bottom. Also tried dragging a football jig but got snagged almost immediately. 🤦🏼‍♂️ Mostly wondering what else I can do to get on em a bit better.

This is a small little reservoir/pond in my local area known to have eel, pike, perch and other stuff.

What are your top 3 lures/baits? I'm around a lot of darker, green stained water most of the time. What do you throw or whats your go to? Lake fishing mainly. TIA

Tried a heavy jig with a weed guard and caught one but was still pulling up weeds on every cast. Curious about other suggestions. Thought about a Texas rigged creature bait but the fish are a bit too small for mine

I have tried frogs but not much luck so far

I’ve seen quite a few < 3lb spotted bass in a very easily accessible spot on the upper Chatahoochee (Georgia) that I frequent but am unable to get them to strike anything. So far I’ve tried Texas rigged plastic worms/crawfish, Ned rigs, jerkbaits, swim baits, and inline spinners… but no bites. They’ll follow jerkbaits and swim baits but seem privy to my schemes and will back off before striking. Are these bass too smart to catch? Am I in a self-fulfilling prophecy and making them smarter by trying all of these different presentations?

I don’t have a picture of the spot on hand but it’s a slow moving, ~10 yards wide x ~5-8ft deep section under a bridge with relatively little cover. The bass seem to hang out near the bottom in the middle of the flow or around some piles of sticks along the bank.

TLDR: What would you throw to catch extremely pressured spotted bass in Georgia.

Edit: thanks for the suggestions I’ll let yall know if I can fool one of these guys

Castaic Lagoon, Los Angeles County
~1500 ft. elevation

using a medium action rod w/ 8 lb. monofilament; looking to catch whatever bites

Some possibly relevant info:

- usually the water is quite clear here. Just had a lot of rain and the heat wave broke so air temp is noticeably lower than water temp.

- usually I fish after work, I've decided to start fishing in the morning before work more often.

- under the water there's snot grass and milfoil. There's one deeper, rocky/sandy spot across from where I'm currently standing.

- recently I've had a lot of success with a frog or a floating t rigged fluke.

Hi! I live near the Delaware River close to Pond Eddy. This is a bit upstream (a bit downstream from Lackawaxen).

I had great luck catching small mouth and large mouth bass further up the river, Skinner Falls to Ten Mile Road (through Narrowsburg) on a raft with a ned rig with 4-5” Yamamoto grubs on my trusty old UglyStix. Most of the bass were behind rocks and took the bait as soon as it hit the water.

Curious about this section here, and in general sections like this with faster flowing water where I didn’t have much luck and where I often saw anglers on the side using spinners. Should I try Ned rigs, Texas rigs, etc. WWYTH?

Thank you!

Hello eveyone, im new here! I scouted out a new spot today, not really sure what's in here, looks like it could be a good catfish spot or maybe smallies? Wwyth? Alot of downed logs in the water in some spots with some deep drop offs along the bank. Didn't have alot of time at this spot or most of my tackle but I did get to toss around a T-rigged ribbon tail worm and no bites. Location is NE AL if that makes a difference. Tight lines🤙🏽🤙🏽

WWYTH?

His pics were back from spring before the scum had really begun to set in. I visited once before and threw a Texas rigged Senko but only caught a bunch of weeds and scum. Is a topwater frog my only option?

Recently got back into fishing! Took the kid to this lil spot I see by my work. I’ve seen ppl fish here / fish brain has logs here also.

We used a senko Texas rigged with a weight for a few hrs and got nothing. Was it just an unlucky day?

Should I lose the weight? Try some top water? What would you suggest??

It’s in northern Georgia, and it’s a sunny 82 degrees in June.
