Fishing Tip

In the smaller lakes I have noticed the bigger fish are bedding a bit deeper,  not to be confused with farther from the shore either.  Look for shore lines that have a 30 to 40 degree grade decline just off the bank that levels off at about or around 7' deep.  If the lake has allot of shore access for bank anglers you should seek out areas that are not easily accessed from the bank, fish the area slow and leave a gap between you and the fish allowing your bait the opportunity to cover more ground.  That coupled with a quick decline can provide lots of quality fish . In the clearer lakes look for area that have heavy hydrilla 2 or 3 feet off the shore and then begins the quick decline in grade.
