Hard Bottom ,
The term means just that a hard out cropping of limestone
which has cracks and crevices in which the fish may hide

 

Swiss Cheese Bottom, Slightly different but sort of the same,
This type of bottom is more holey where as regular hard bottom the fish hide
in it or under but Swiss Cheese has more? Well you can see it.

 

Here is where you can go to find a huge hard bottom area to fish
