BILL DANCE, Not just as a tournement guy, but a all around promoter and producer of quality entertainment. If I ever had someone whom I thought was the staple of bass fishing as we know it today atleast as long as I can remember Bill Dance's name comes up time and time again. PS: I believe he could still compete today, I will take knowledge over youth everytime.

Very good stuff! I am sure we could sink some cover, do old tires still work well or is that not healthy? This lake is very clean with a solid shale bottom there is no cover that we could find, we caught our biggest bass of a small submerged road bed, that was the only structure in the whole lake! Thanks for the input!! PS: I always Texas rig my worms, I am going to have to try Carolina Rigging them, I guess this is very productive!

A friend of mine and I went fishin today at a private Lake that is about 60 acers in size, the thing about it is it is a manmade lake dug for fill for the interstate exit ramp back in the 60's. It is round with very little cover and no laydowns around it, just a few small shrubs here and there. It is deep in the middle around 50 foot and rises gradually to steep mud banks. We caught a few real nice Bass (four 5 pounders) and probably 5 a pound or two. We threw everything we had at'em but caught the big ones on CrankBaits. What was so hard was, being there were no structure and flat to gradually rising bottom, the fish were hard to pattern. Any ideas?? The place reminds me of a rock quary h0w would you fish it?? It is a deep strip lake with cloudy stained water??
