Here's a great question from a pond owner. Can bass be caught in a 200 acre lake that's loaded with cover, like stumps and logs and bushes, and it stays muddy throughout the year? Yeah, certainly, you can catch a lot of fish in those conditions. But, because there's full of snags, you need to focus on fishing weedless type lures or lures that aren't going to get snagged as much.

So I would focus on spinnerbaits and on things such as square bill crankbaits. I'd also like to fish a lot of top waters like buzz baits, as well as frogs and toads. Those are the things I'd really focus on. And to catch those big bass, I would fish really slow. I'd throw jigs on there as well. You know, fish it nice and slow, as slow as I could for the conditions, and those type of baits kick off a lot of vibration, a lot of noise, a lot of flash that enables those bass to find and locate and hone in on that lure, and you're gonna catch a lot of fish that way.
