When fishing structure, you have to be able to stay tight to the structure or your lure presentation will not be in the strike zone of the fish. Move just a boat length away and you will be out of the area of current change and luck. The principles of analyzing water and approaching fish can become confusing and difficult with all the information available to anglers. Try to keep a simple approach in mind. It is important to understand that subtle changes in water temperature, oxygen, bottom structure, shadow lines, and similar factors make a significant difference in locating fish.
Fish tend to locate along transitional zones.
One important overlooked transition zones is the areas that have weeds. The weeds or vegetation may be key to successful angling. Fish are wary. This helps them survive and can also make them difficult to catch. With either natural bait or artificial lures, the presentation must be realistic.
