Sorry I didn't see your question before...I only said "beds" for lack of proper term. I just meant I wanted a deeper, clearer area for the bass to hunt in, or at least around the edges of the deeper area. I don't even know if that is the correct method I just know that the weeds in the shallower area are a PITA to fish and I have had pretty good luck fishing slightly deeper, less weedy areas of the pond. Though, at this point, finding any area without weeds is nearly impossible.
