Rating depth structure for largemouth bass.

95-acre lake near Monroe. The lake tops out around 20 ft. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
Drawn out, this is 91 acres of water rimmed by 2 miles of bank, with a single island in the mix. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.5) — enough points and pockets to pattern. About 44% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone. Figure 0.6 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.4 mi at the beam. The water lies in Orange County. For a second option, Walton Lake lies 1 mi southwest.
The spring pattern is a shallow one: largemouth bass in 2 to 10 ft. As the season builds they drop to 8 to 20 ft, wintering in 6 to 20 ft. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in the 2 ft range, prime in spring. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a texas-rigged 10" worm or a deep-diving crankbait gets it done.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 10 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 ft) | Spinnerbait, Chatterbait |
| Summer | 8 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Secondary point (10 ft) | Texas-rigged 10" worm, Deep-diving crankbait |
| Fall | 4 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Secondary point (10 ft) | Squarebill crankbait (shad), Spinnerbait |
| Winter | 6 to 20 ft | midday | Deep basin (20 ft) | Blade bait, Jigging spoon |
Come spring, look for brown trout tight to the bank in 2 to 20 ft. Through summer count on 6 to 20 ft; the winter hold is 3 to 20 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 20 ft that scores prime in summer. Best bite is after dark and early morning. A spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (2 ft) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Summer | 6 to 20 ft | night & dawn | Deep basin (20 ft) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Fall | 3 to 20 ft | dusk & dawn | Secondary point (10 ft) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Winter | 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Deep basin (20 ft) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
