The lake you described sounds a lot like a lake I fish called Lowry Lake. Super clear, almost as clear as tap water and depths in the mid 20's. I use a 3/4 oz egg sinker, 2 way swivel, with a 16-20" leader. Usually have a jig tied on and tip it with a minnow. Lower the baits to the bottom, when the hit just reel up a few cranks then troll really slow. Maybe do 2 rods like that then take the next 2 and real up a few more cranks until you find the fish. A good depth finder works wonders also. Good luck

Used to catch a lot of specks in Lake Mary Jane at Moss Park, opened late but fishing was good and some fished Lake Hart, not too far from Lake Conway. Good luck --shu

When you go at night how much light do you use? I ask because once upon a time I was fishing a private pond in Land O Lakes, Fl. Daytime with minners and a cork. I could not buy a bite for love nor money. This pond was clear water with a dark or muddy bottom. They could see me. Just as the sun went down I started to catch a few. I didn't have a light but had to leave to punch the home clock. Made plans to go back at night with Coleman gasoline lantern mounted on my boat. I got boat rigged to hold lantern out over water. I had everything ready to go. I had that lantern pumped up so tight if it had caught fire it would have blown me back to Plant City. I lighted that thing and had it burning bright as day. Dropped my minners and guess what, not a bite! I was dumb founded and didn't know what was going on, ther was no way this was not going to catch me some specks. I sat there in that boat fussing and fuming, then I thought about before when the sun went down behind the horizon it wasn't as light as I had with that lantern. I turned the lantern down to just a nice glow and low and behold I started catching fish. My point is you can have too much light even when night fishing.

Very good post Yelim. Paying attention pays off.

Thanks for the advice I've been out of the game for a while my boat trailer axle broke on the highway. Just got it back so going to start trying again.

thanks for the advice. Sorry so long to reply. My boat trailer axle snapped so I had been busy with repairs.

Thanks for the detailed info. I'll keep to myself. Much appreciated. Sorry for the lateness of my reply. My boat trailer axle snapped several weeks ago and I just got it all repaired. That was consuming my time. Now I'm back in business and I'll be trying again.
