Docks. Which is perfect, because I like to fish them.

Duck poop everywhere you step...

Yep.  Geese crap everywhere.

 

That and Red Bull cans.  Lazy, inconsiderate @#$%!holes leave everything behind when they go.  My fiancee asked me the other day why I have Red Bull cans in my car because I don't drink that #$!#!.  I told her, because I picked them up at the lake.

Along the shoreline are cypress trees, primrose, pickerelweed & dollarweed.

A few yards offshore are cattails, water-lilies, maidencane, spatterdock & bulrushes.

Among the submergent vegetation is hydrilla, coontail, pondweed & eelgrass.

Ok I'm standing on a low bridge just 3 to 4' feet above the water. In front of me is a 10' deep channel that opens up to the body of open water, it's about 14' wide on the bridge, it's Rocky on the bottom. To my right is submerged weeds and the weedlines runs parallel with the channel, it's the flats in this section of the weeds. To my left is a rocky point that goes from the left corner of the bridge to the deeper water on the left side. On the other side of point there's submerged weeds again, but it drops off at the waters edge. Beyond the submerged weeds on my right and left is two large sections of Lilly pads.

I couldn't design a place that has it all for fishing. This whole area is man made by the road with the bridge. It's a great place to learn every bait and presentation. I'm high enough above to see the lures action. The channel gives me an area. I learn all the presentations here and what works here works everywhere I fish.

I pay close attention how I work the rod with the lure when I can see it. Now I do the same action with the rod when I can't see the lure at another place.

My point is everything we learn at our favorite place works everywhere we go.

I work that Rocky point by skip fan casting it. I'm catching bass from op opposite the current side. I work my jig n pig up the point from the deeper water to the bridge for more bass.

In the channel I use my 10' deep crankbaits. I use the shallow cranks along side the weedlines. My shallow cranks over the submerged weeds stopping them over the open weed pockets and jigging the cranks. I pop a popper over the submerged weeds or walk a spook.

I also throw spinnerbaits, inline spinners and spinflys too over the whole area.

It's knowing the bottom structure too. The portable cast out hummingbird fish finder showed me the depths, were the drop offs are, were the flats are, the deeper holes and the transition points between them. Now I know how to fish it.
