Over the years, I've read and heard different opinions on this topic. If your trolling slowly along, fishing heavy cover areas, do you like to pitch or cast to the thickest areas first, or make your initial cast to the outside edges first? Some writers have stated that you'll spook fish by hooking bass in the thickest cover, and it's best to work outside first. This could apply to any cover. Docks, weeds, logs, blow downs etc, or a mix of these things. Which method has worked out best for you? Do you like to cast right into the thickest parts, or work the outside edges first?
