RE: Bass techniques
I know the areas you are fishing fairly well. When I fished up there, I had my best success on a 1/8 to 1/4 oz leadhead with a tube on it. Dragged along the bottom. You WILL loose baits if your fishing on the bottom. 10 lb test and a light wire hook jighead will allow you to straighten the hooks if you're concerned about loosing many.
