Jim,  what town do u live?   Anyways what i like to do is find private ponds or little state ponds in state forrests.  I do this by going on google maps.  These small ponds are usually where i catch my big bass/pickeral.  What i like using is small-medium sized swimbaits like the Zoom Fluke.   i hook them texas rigged but weightless.  Every year it seems i catch a couple bass from the 5-8 pound range.  cast near shore and give it a jerk ever 4-5 seconds.  This has always worked for me.  this techique also catches a  lto of fish.  Also i would try to get the new yum money minnow.  my friend had one on the other day and he kick my butt.

just tried it 2day on the canoe with my dad. We probably caught about 60 or more smallmouth bass. I fished above the scotland dam there. I used live hellgramites as bait. Those things work like a charm.
