Hoping to get some basic advice from you all and thanks in advance.
I recently moved to a small lake community. There are 15 homeowners on a 25-30acre lake. The lake is 25 years old, has lots of shallow, rocky bottom and also gets 25 feet deep. Fishing was great from year 5-15 Ive been told. I don't know exactly how to judge how bad it is now but love to hear some opinions.
I can catch a SMB on first cast most times and catch 5 more in short order. All the SMB are about the same size 12-14" and skinny(100 fish sample). I have caught a couple large mouth that are slightly bigger and also skinny. When we catch a perch/sunfish(don't know how to identify) they are almost always very large and meaty. The crappie are also nice size and meaty but don't catch too many. Always using a swim bait or spinner when fishing. When I boat near the shore I see hundreds of fish darting around almost all the same size. Currently, I don't think anyone is keeping or killing any fish they catch.
My goal would be to have larger Bass. Thanks again for the advice.
