I live about 5 mintutes from the lake, not two far from Crazy Horse. I've been on the Limit 5 site. I know Ricky T very well for over 20 years.

I'm going with the 200 Bandit I've caught more fish on a Bandit crankbait than any other.

Hey you all I'm here in VA fishing Smith Mountain Lake. I have been bass fishing for 30yrs started fishing in Maryland 20yrs ago I've fished the Potomac, Buggs Island, Lake Gaston, and many others. I was in the Piedmont Bass Masters out of Danville for a couple years. My best 5 fish tournament weight was 24 lbs 6 oz at Buggs Island I won the tournament and big fish with my largest bass weighing 7 lb 13 oz Thanks Chris

Docks are the main structure on SML. The more you fish the more you'll catch fish them shallow in the spring and deep in the summer. I seem to catch more on wood docks than metal. As far as what to throw your guess is as good as mine SML is so unpredictable sometimes. Some days I toss a coin to decide what to throw. Yesterday we boated 12 bass over 14 inches lost about 6 more. Want a pattern ? how about this for a pattern we caught a few on worms, oh yeah then 2 on a hair jig 1 on a crankbait 2 on a rubber jig and then a couple on texas rigged craw! :-/ So I couldn't tell you because I don't know what I'd fish if I was in a toury this weekend. They also came on diffrent types of structure nothing I could duplicate!!!!!!! So Good luck
