Since it is a public lake, anything you put out there becomes public. Therefore you DO NOT own it. There is no such thing as your spot on public lakes.

Just what kind of baited holes are there for bass?

Milos draws catfish, are there other ways to draw bass?

Never heard of baited holes for bass.

AS for planting brush piles. CC is a prime example of very little cover for fry, fry of all types to survive, the trees have rotted long ago and provides not nutrients to the water anymore. Very little vegitation.

If it wasn't for the guys who plant brush for crappie and bass, there wouldn't be as good of fishing in my opinion.

Fry needs cover to survive.

Kudos to those that do. They took the time and effort to "hopefully put them in good locations". Hard work pays off for those that do, why penalize them for the extra effort. Want an level playing field, find some or plant some. But don't cry cause some work harder than others to gain an added advantage once in awhile, they don't always win the money.

Oops just read the other thread on ethics, but I'll leave me reply here too lazy to move it.

The unethical part about it is when the angler catches bass all week, transplants those bass to his secret brush pile location, to then go back to next day or later in a tournament to catch those "baited" bass. They will hold to that cover if they are transplanted. Studies show bass that are relocated will not move in the short term. And if they are put by good cover in a creek channel dropoff, bingo for bass in the tournament. I'm an old fart used to tournament fish many years ago but no longer. I discovered what others were doing from fishing river tournaments back east. The same principle applies to reservoirs.
