Fishing a Point, Boat Position

[Ritchie270]

Thanks for this thread and all the replies, this was very informative to me. I'm no where near an "expert", probably a low intermediate at best, but I try to do what bassman ky is saying when I fish points. What always frustrates me is when I see arches on my sonar that I'm 90% sure are bass by there position in relation to structure, baitfish etc and I still can't get a hit. That's the fun in fishing I guess

This is super informative to me as the graph on my Dads rig is crap...so idling over to find fish is a waste of time, and using a crankbait or spinner to locate fish using the above deep to challow method seems like a logical way to find fish on a point...

when you see them do you back off and fish where you were setting,seeing the fish?if not your presentation is not in their zone,back out a bit,if the fish are not close to bottom they may be looking up,what i call it,if they are they may not go down to pick up a bottom hugging bait.fish from different angles too.
