I go to my records and see where the lake was at 298 feet and where we were catching fish here, here, here. I remember that pile and when the lake gets up to the right level, I fish it. Most people try to find bass in the obvious places. I am looking for the places which are not obvious. When I am fishing, I seldom see anybody else.
Fishermen have to find their own fish.
I can't go to somebody else's fish and fish them and do any good because I will be fishing differently. Somebody else can't go to my fish and catch them like I can. Keeping up with the baitfish is the key to filling limits in the fall. But it doesn't bother me. Particularly if I know the spot is apt to hold a lot of fish.
