Almost all of the lakes they fished were not closed but I know when they fished days 3 and 4 on Lake Townsend in NC it was closed. And if you wanted to be anti BASS its worth noting that anglers were allowed to fish areas normally closed to the public.

B. A.S.S. cannot close any body of water, public officials do that. The city of Greensboro could have easily told B.A.S.S. no! Lake Townsend was already a highly restricted lake anyway. Plus it is small, I assumed you were talking about large public bodies of water. Btw, I am well aware of the former majors and the Memorial. I am also well aware of how good KVD is. I have had a seat in the boat to see it first hand.
