Hi!
The topic covers my question. In the end I'm sure you'll tell me that cover on structure is the real money. But from my experience last summer on a lake I frequently fish, cover seemed to be the most important thing. There's a rather large bed of healthy weeds sitting on a slowly sloping bank between 8' and 15' of water that was always stacked with fish, yet there's nothing interesting in the structure at this point. Where as I found other areas with points, drop offs, ledges that would hold fish on occasion but were not as consistent.
Is it just because the first weedbed I mentioned is likely home to many bass where as the structural areas are more likely routes the bass use to go from one area to another?
I feel more confident that I'll find fish in an area with cover but little structure than if I find structure that has no cover.
