it was like a flooded forest back then, I even remember hearing of boats that would bump a tree and it would fall into the boat and some fisherman were injured back then. And yes we would drown a minnow around those beer cans stuck on limbs, our thinking was crappie holes lol, and the pie plates were marker's for so called boat lanes haha, many a lower unit is still on the bottom of the lake. We would always hire a guide to take us on the first day or two to locate the bass but we would only remember one spot out of many because all that flooded timber looked the same. People today don't realize that there were 60' trees under the water and above the water line.
