What is the best way to fish a plastic worm Texas style?

I will be fishing it from a canoe on a small lake about 15- 20 acres. It has lilly pads, weeds, rocky ledges, and almost everything else. The bottom of the lake is rocky. I will be targeting largemouth bass. It is a simi clear (you can see about 4-5 ft) and it is almost never fished especially from a boat. what should I try?

I completely sunburned the entire top of my head?

I got lost on a lake in a canoe for 6 hours with absolutely no way to protect my head. The entire top of my scalp down my forehead to my eye level and the back of my head down to my shoulder level is completely seared. There are LARGE yellow bubbles all over and some very brown leathery areas with no sensation. Where the bubbles have burst a slimy liquid has come out and the skin is totally white and seems to be about 2 or 3 layers thick (like if you skinned your knee thick as opposed to normal sunburn peeling thick). I don’t have any sensation in the leathery areas, but if I poke at them they start to bleed. What should I do?
