Not sure what your what your talking about here

Like bassNSpear, I am a bit cornfused.

If you could narrow down your question a little, I'm sure someone on the board will help you out.

If your just looking for a good place to fish. I really can think of many "bad" bass lakes. All the Lakes in the Chisago Lakes area are gems in my mind.

Here's one good tip.

don't get stuck in one pattern and expect to make it pay off

example. I'm a crank guy, so I like plenty of open water. I avoid thick weeds. I'm missing out on some good fish. My partner is a weed guy, he insists on thick shallow weeds.

there's a little compromise here, put the boat where one side is weed the other side is wide open.

Depends on the type of lake you're fishing. Most big bass I catch this time of year come over flats at about 7 ft with deeper water nearby as well as some sort of weeds nearby (usually bullrushes). I fish in an area where most of the lakes are pretty shallow though and there aren't many rocks to speak of, so vegetation is what they relate to.
