Let's say you have a bay or cove you are wanting to fish and your map shows the old creek channel heading straight up the middle of the bay/cove, far away from both main lake points and secondary points. Would you stay with the channel (with a C-Rig or Jig) all the way back to the spawning flats or would you break off and hit the points and secondary points even if they are not close to the old channel. Thanks for any help.
Fish always travel using the deepest water available, ie. channels. Now if their is cover on that spot or any deviation, probably will hold fish. Put it to you this way, if their isn't a creek channel near buy, I'm not going to be their fishing...period. If it's a natural lake, use the contour lines (which is harder i think) I'd recommend you take Dave's class, hope this helps.
