Seems like there is mud the entire length, but the smallies and other baitfish definetly like the rocky bottom, as it holds heat better. I have caught a few pike in the rocky sections, but they seem to hold to structure regardless of the bottom.

I would say that about 90% of the areas I fish have a muddy bottom, and most of the weed beds are from muddy areas. So almost all my fish come from muddy areas. There are a few clear sandy areas that seem to always hold a fish or two though.
