im not exactly sure what that means. could you give me an example. and would you normally fish these spots morning and evening or would they be good all day?
The 2 biggest things that I've looked for when gill or red ear fishing are green weeds and a semi-sticky bottom. But green weeds are the biggest key. I use a color underwater camera to find them. It seems like every time I find green weeds in mid-late winter I find nice 8"+ gills. This was my first season with the color camera and the success I had was noticeably increased. I never had a goose egg in over 50 trips, honest. The number of 8-11" gills I got in Nimisila and Nesmith here in NE Ohio was more than any season ever before. Sometimes I'll drill 50 holes and drop back and check before I'll drop a line in the water. Drilling and finding them is critical. I'd rather lose an hour of fishing drilling many search holes then fish all day in a fishless area.
