Freshwater Fishing Questions: Do I have to let my bait float on the water or should I use a sinker for fishing in freshwater?

Bass fishing in Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley, each located in the former's title state and in Tennessee, is superb. Big largemouth bass thrive in the long lakes, which are loaded with countless angling opportunities. Following is some advice for fishing big lakes such as these.
Bass Fishing in Kentucky Lake Tip#1: Fish Coves and LagoonsTry casting into wooded coves that reach into the surrounding land. The more secluded these coves are, the better chance that big fish have been roaming them for some time, undisturbed. Find such areas with the bass boat, and throw big lures into their waters. Try using Culprit worms and 5-inch Yamamoto senkos in medium and deeper areas near the shore, and fish them slowly. In shallower parts of coves, cast smaller soft plastics, rigged without weight, or salamander lures on Carolina rigs . This works best during the warmer months.
Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley Bass Fishing Tip#2: Fish Spinnerbaits and CrankbaitsAlong secluded stretches of shoreline that have medium depth or shallow waters, throw spinnerbaits or floating crankbaits in the late spring, summer, and early fall, and retrieve them so that they run parallel to the shore. Work them slowly, and fish the same, promising waters over and over, as it can take many casts to get big bass to hit.
Bass Fishing Kentucky Lake Tip#3: Use Topwater Baits Near Structure and in the ShallowsCast topwater floating lures, such as poppers, unweighted jerkbaits, zara spooks, and scum frogs to areas of structure, brush, or to the shallows. If there is a lot of debris, such as grass, leaves, lily pads, sticks, algae, or reeds in the water, use the scum frog, but if casts near but not into debris or structure may be made, the other baits will work fine. Retrieve these baits slowly, to entice fish that may be feeding in the shallows or using structure as cover from which to ambush prey.
