Went to Cottage Lake for the first time on Friday evening with my girlfriend for an hour and a half before sunset. We fished the docks, out of my inflatable boat, on the NW side of the lake without any luck. I was using a baby bass colored 5" Senko. Next time I'll try a different colored Senko, I've been reading on here that Watermelon and Green Pumpkin are better colors for the area. I saw tons of baitfish, so there must be some monster bass here that chow down on these fish. Where do the big fish live on this lake? What do they bite?

I have never fished the lake. But coming from a semi-experienced basser, I personally would of used a different lure. Being it was so close to sunset, that is prime time for a topwater bite. I haven't had a super great year with topwater, but with a faster moving bait, buzzbait, prop bait, walk the dog bait, fast moving spinnerbait below the surface, you may have coaxed a strike easier. The big fish are everywhere by the way, you have to find them.

I have fished for bass here a few times. I have never caught anything. i've got a couple of bites but never caught anything. I only use this lake for trout fishing I almost always catch my limit of rainbows.
