Fishing a Point, Boat Position

[FlyLie]

The way I have always found fish on a point or spot is run over it with my boat and graph fish before fishing it. If I see a school of arcs I will fish the spot, if no arcs then move on to the next point or spot. But a boat idling over a spot will not spook bass. I have done this numerous times and never had a problem spooking fish. They may not be active and bite but you know they are there. My marker bouy is my best friend when idling over a spot. Throw the bouy of to the side and fish the spot. If you get bit, find a line in front, behind and 90 degrees out to the side. If you dont have gps and you cant remember your line write it down with specific details. This should help you out.

You could be right, maybe I'm TOO MUCH of a SM fisherman, OR Just to TIMID!!!

I agree with everyone else. Work it like a laydown, from the outside in. Or in this case, from deep to shallow.
