Snake, thanks for the advice I'll definitely give it a shot! I don't have any weeds or places for fish to hide on the shoreline but the bass might feed there at night

My bass work the shoreline all day and destroy the gambusias. They will follow you scarfing up the gams that leave the shoreline. Do you have a population of gams?

Since the bass and crappie decimated the FHM and GSH the gams are the only thing that I see around the banks. Todd has some gams.... He hates them... But they are very prolific and can see YOY bass through till they can eat larger prey. Do you see the FHMs around the banks?

My banks are full of small fry.. Not sure if it's cnbg or fhm they are small.. But just out of the shore in 1-2ft of water starts the cnbg beds everywhere

My shore lines are loaded up with FHM and BG right now. Early morning and late evening I can see the YP and SMB blasting them.

I could throw the cast net in hopes of catching a bass to prove they are in there but I don't want to risk damaging them.. So I guess ill just hold my breath and keep looking Either they are in there or they died as fingerlings and turtles cleaned them up

Pull up a lawn chair and sit by the shore for a while and if the water is clear you should see a bass cruising along.... Do you see any activity splashing close to the banks?

I put in a minnow trap barely covered with water and mostly caught bass... You might try that... If you catch any as soon as you see them put the trap back in the water to open it so not to damage them till they can be released
