Hi Pressure - Reserviors

I am looking for suggestions on high-pressure reservoirs. Let me set the view of this reservoir, as everything about it screams a great spot. There are grass and lily pads from the boat ramp looking directly across at the 12 o'clock position during the spring /summer time frame. It runs from 18 to 4 feet in depth and shallower and has an excellent bluegill population. There are standing, and submerged timber on the ramp's far-right to make you think you are fishing Rodman Reservoir in North FL. Depth at this location ranges from 4-16 feet with an occasional hole at 20 ft. With some good-sized patches of milfoil, lily pads, soft gravel, and timber, the further you push back. Far-left of the ramp is a stone wall that tapers into the water a good 3 ft with a sharp drop from 5-24 ft as it is near the dam's mouth.
Every summer, they fertilize the reservoir to increase productivity, and it has produced some trophy fish up to 13 pounds. Like I said previously, lots of Bluegill, and there are channel cats here as well, but man, I can't figure it out for the life of me. I have thrown; soft plastic rigged Texas, Carolina, Tokyo, finesse. I have thrown crankbaits, deep divers, swimbaits, jerk baits, and underspin. Thrown spinnerbaits with willow, Colorado, and even the old shoestring Dubois spinners and nothing. I have matched the hatch and used many colors that generally catch in this and surrounding areas. This location is the one place that skunks me every time I go, and it's driving me batty.

Find the nastiest spots that nobody throws to. I fish on a relatively highly pressured lake. When the guys who fish it regularly get skunked or catch five or so, I regularly pull out 10-15+ by finding the underwater spots that are unmarked (we have buoys etc for the bigger brush piles) or finding the nastiest trees/laydowns and fish deep into them, often catching those bigger fish that haven't been hammered quite as much. I also differentiate my baits - silent crankbaits, dip my soft plastics in different dyes,, pull legs off frogs, etc. I will also fish full moon nights and wait for the new moon to fish during the day in summer. This year my new trick is to use an underwater blue tooth speaker tuned to shad sounds to hit suspended, inactive fish (I found a cheap option on amazon) Hope that helps.

Gents, thanks for the feed back.

Doug I think the thump and dead fish penalty would probably be an issue.

Clyde, try Ike's favorite finesse tactic, the tail weighted french fry
