I grew up fishing this lake with my dad but these past few years(2yrs) I haven't been fishing. I just started going to lake every weekend but doing some shore fishing. To make a long story short, I was wondering where would be an ideal area to fish this lake. I haven't caught anything but lots of perch(tx type perch) and a few bass and only two freshwater drum. To me the lake is either fished out or the fish have all gone very deep. I haven't had so many days of not catching anything in my life. I need ideas on how to fish this lake. Fishing for catfish is what I do most besides bass fishing so any info that can help me land some personal record best catch would mean a lot. Thanks!

Bank fishing To the right? Or in a boat all the way on right side of the lake where it parts in two?
