Approaching a New Water
« on: Dec 29, 2008, 07:25 PM »
What are your tactics and strategies to find fish on a new hardwater body? 

Me, I like to talk to locals and get some pointers.  Then, I punch lots of holes and use the Vex to explore likely spots. 

How about you?

I start with a map of the lake to pin point likely holding water.

A map and/or fish it during the summer with the sonar going all the time and take notes on points of interest.

Grab lake maps off the web, ask people on Iceshanty for pointers.
