Thread: locating fish

My way of locating fishing spots is with my eyes and the fish finder I use is a lure tied on the end of my line.I took all the whistles,bells,beeping and buzzing eqt. out of my boat.To me its more enjoyable locating and finding fish without all the whistles and bells plus more fair'er to the fish.The art of locating and finding fish with the naked eye and a lure is being lost by all the toys they have now days to locate and find fish.
On new area's I look the area over,buff bank,shallow bank,logs above surface,sticks above surface and ask myself if I was a fish where would I hide.Rivers,lakes and creeks are all different but the finding and locating is the same when its comes to locating and finding fish in each.I locate under water logs and stuff by fan casting the area with either a 1/32,1/16,1/8 depending on the depth and current.I catch more fish without the whistles and bells plus its more pleasing to know the cooler of fish was done with the naked eye and lure tied on the end of a line.Finding fish isn't really hard at all after you learn where and what to look for nomatter if its spring,fall or winter.
