I see.Seriosly if you want to get into bass go to any of these little sloughs and fish them until you can establish(spelling?) what works.Then you can cathc fish almost every time. I spookked a huge crappie today to. It probably would have went 15 inches.Try horseshoe lake by carnation if you want to get into bass or crappie.You have to use a raft or float tube but we've put 12 foot aluminums in there.
