I'm talking about 100+ foot channels,alot of the banks drop straight down deep.I fish one here in Va. and it was man made back in the late 60's.Most everything was dug out and alot of the bottom is slick.....except for humps and roadbeds there is not a whole lot more structure around such as stumps,grasslines,mats or rocks,(other than rip rap.)Anybody got any advice on deep lakes?Keep in mind,the lake is big (25,000+ acres) and very deep.Let's hear it!

1.Spinnerbait (shad pattern skirt,nickel willow blades) 2. Jig (dark brown with light brown trailer) 3. Carolina Rig (spring-3X lizard,summer-Zoom fish doctor green pumpkin,fall-back to the spinnerbait)

Where I live I have the best of both worlds.I live about 15 minutes from a boat ramp at Smith Mtn Lake and in the other direction I have the mighty New River and also the James River,both of which turn out monster smallmouth year after year.Generally after the water heats up and the largemouths go deep,I hook up my jon boat and hit the rivers for some summertime smallmouth.Man,some days on the river turn 50+ smallmouth,not all are "keepers" but generally you will catch 6-7 1 pounders then you'll catch a 2 1/2,then 6-7 more 1's then a 3 pounder.....it's always great fishing somewhere in a river because the smallies seem to always be looking to rip something up. But on the other hand,there is nothing like heading to the lake,trolling down the bank in early spring and catching an eyeful of an 8 pounder laid up on a bed.Oh man,what a rush!!COME ON SPRING TIME !!

I need a fuseboard for a 1989 Ranger 370V.....is there a place (website) that sells older parts like that?I tried looking at Overtons and Boaters World but didnt come up with anything.I also have emailed Ranger but have not received any response for 2 weeks now.Can someone help?

1. Bassmasters (good coverage of actual pressure fishing situations) 2. FLW Outdoors 3. Schooled by Brauer 4. In Fisherman (those guys are ALWAYS on the big ones) and take time to explain their techniques and thought processes.
