REMARKS
Most people tend to avoid the heavy structure in Lake Dancy, fearing that they will loose fish or lures. Please remember that you are fishing for Tigerbass and Largemouth Bass - they are strong, healthy and very aggressive!
You will break your line, you will loose lures and you will loose fish - no matter what you do or how good you are.
Even though larger lures catch larger fish, don't neglect to bring smaller lures for those finicky conditions.
Whatever you bring, make sure that you have more than one.
Bring plenty of soft plastic lures, catches of 30 to 75 Bass per day are normal.
