Bottom Structure
by Mike Gerry
It’s no secret that if you fish enough different impoundments or river systems you will find all kinds of different bottom structures. I would venture to say that you could experience different bottom types on your own lake if you just move around enough to find it.

Fishing deep can be tough
by Mike Gerry
As years have passed on the fishing circuits, we have found that the bigger fish have moved deeper to escape the pressure of the enormous amount of fisherman on the water.
We have approached these deeper fish in many different ways, from Carolina rigs with heavy 1 oz. sinkers to one of the latest baits a A-rig weighted with about 2 or more oz. of jig heads weight. The A-rig caused such a stir over the fact that it has 5 hooks on it that the B.A.S.S. ruled it was not fit to use on their tournament circuit. That ruling caused a stir. It also added some common sense to this presentation.
