what does a dead center of a small cut off the main lake mean?

If I had to guess....

"a cut off the main lake". In southern speak...a cut is about a half acre or less.

Off the main lake means its not in a creek but off the main river channel.

And "dead center" means the deepest part of the cut...ie in the middle.

I hear it like this;

 

Dead center of a small cut.  Off of the main lake.

 

typical reservoir talk, I'd guess the deepest water in a little protected arm or bay off of the main water body.

Means just like it sounds (to me anyway....). And I don't mean that sarcastically.

The shoreline of the main lake cuts in and the cuts back out like sideways V, U, C. Dead center could have multiple meanings depending on the rest of the context. Laydown could mean the shoreline at the center back of the cut. Pile of boulders could mean the center of the cut on the bottom etc.

Cuts usually refer to pockets smaller then a cove.

Dead center means in the middle.

Off the top of my head, I would say something like the two places I marked red . Then again that’s dead center at the mouth of each cut, he might be referring to the center of it cut halfway back into it

It means someone gave you a spot that you can't figure out and you're too embarrassed to ask.

Or it does not mean this… what is embarrassing? I did not know what it meant so that’s why I was asking. Hank cherry said the term when describing what he looks for at times and I never heard of it so I asked.

It's where I was catching my fish Sunday. Dead center of a small cut/pocket off the main lake. They were sitting in the tops of the not yet dead grass and along the edges of the grass line that I was having to find with my baits. 

 

When I call something a cut/pocket, it's referring to a small indention or cutout of the lake shoreline but not really big enough to be a cove.

It means somebody wanted to appear to be helpful by telling you a good fishing location.  In reality they really didn't want to be helpful.  Who ever it was should get involved in politics, if they are not already a politician.
