If you have never fished the Lake Ouachita before get a contour map. Learn where the River channel, Creek channels, pockets and flats are. For a fast lesson, charter one of Lake Ouachita's professional bass guides. Lake Ouachita has about 10% coverage of different types of aquatic grasses. A black bass has a normal territory of approx 1 acre, a lot of bass live out their life span in and around these grassy areas. When fishing the grass look for little points, indentions, cutouts and especially the edges. The Bass will usually be laying right on the moss edge primarily in 12 to 18 feet of water.
