How big are the bgill in this lake, and how big is the lake? If the b.gill are stunted really bad there may not be proper forage for the bass. One other question just popped into my mind, how big are the stocked trout? If they stock snack sized trout into a pond full of bass I can see why no one catches bass. Ever heard of an "AC plug" by lure jensen? the smallest size is 5.5" and it comes in rainbow trout.
