Fishing pressured bass

Coloradobassmaster - sophomore

Hello, is there any good tips and/ or baits that i should use when fishing for pressured bass. This lake that I like to fish at has lots of fishing activity.

Ned rig & dropshot are my favorite for pressured bass. They may not always catch big bass, but I like getting bites, even 12 inchers.

how much pressure creates pressured bass? E.G. I fish on a 150 acre lake with a robust bass/crappie population. There are 70 lots, about 20 of which actually fish, so maybe 10 boats a week or 30 hours of fish, much less in the summer/winter.

That doesn't sound like pressured to me, it sounds like a heavenly place to live! Where I grew up, we fished a 10 acre pond that probably had someone fishing 30 hours a week, and we still caught bass (though we did catch the same ones a few times, sometimes we would be removing someone else's bait along with our own from where someone's line broke). In either case, 150 acres should support that type of fishing pressure well, and I would expect your bass to be rather susceptible to a wide variety of power and finesse techniques.

Ah, thank you for the clarification.
