Here's my secret. I have kept levels of the lakes we fish for the past four years. I keep them on a monthly basis. 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.
