Won`t say they are not good spots, actually the numbers on the 1st screen seem to be throwing me for a "loop". Most maps would have deeper water darker blue with larger numbers. That aside, consider prevailing winds and even transition zones (where bottom changes from muck to rock, gravel, sand, ect. That said, my best guess assuming a SW wind pattern would do at least 2 lines shallow to deep from just below your mark to the "12" (SE) with about 10 attractors and from the pin into the depression just past the "15" (NE) with about 15- 20 attractors. Screen #2 would drop another line from shallow to deep from the left marking pin into the depression to the NE with 15-20 attractors and from the right hand marking pin almost directly E with yet another line shallow to deep with 15- 20 more attractors. Dropping them in pairs at about 2` in depth change gives you a very good "seasonal" coverage range. Lastly would drop cement anchored osage orange, locust or mulberry...just my 2 cents...BTW putting the cover directly on top of humps can lead to it getting battered up from lures, anchors, storms, ect...just a thought.

Thanks for the info Lowellhturner.. The reason for the white shaded areas = setting in my menu for the deeper water to stand out. I want leave it that way. Your info is helpful.. thanks again. God Bless..

The "Friends of CJ Brown" are taking a more multi species approach now to dropping cover; we try to get all the feedback possible about various spots and will even drop a fluke anchor to check the bottom type. looking for and deliberately TARGETING transition zones, attempting to find them at between 12- 16 fow. This seems to be a "magic" range on CJ...straddling a well defined bottom type transition zone with a line of attractors shallow to deep just makes the fish appear on them within hrs...good luck sir !

Which App are you using ?

Hey nut, if I were you I would target that spot on the lower right of the first pic off the point that shows the 7 and drops off. Put them about in 10' of water where it drops to 30 or what ever it says. I have a spot like that and its a honey hole. (just my 2¢)

[gooseslayer]

Wright off that point between the 23 and the 30.

I agree with Lowell about varying your depths and placing your brush on contour changes. It looks like you are thinking about dropping the brush on the deeper side of the holes. While that may hold fish at certain times of the year (primarily winter,) your lake is likely to have a thermocline that will keep the fish at shallower depths than you might think in the summer. Most of our lakes here are around 8-12ft at the edges of channel drops and the thermocline usually sets up just below that depth. So, the fish tend to hang pretty close to those drops on any cover they can find, brush, stumps, etc. Some days they will be in the brush on or near the ledge, and other days they will suspend over the deeper brush in the channel. It helps to place brush in areas that you know are holding fish, thus improving that spot, as opposed to trying to make a new spot in an area that hasn't been good for you. Look for subtle changes in the channel that the fish naturally key in on. Sharp bends are good too, or a drop that is a little steeper than the rest. Vary your depths in these areas and you will likely have a honey hole that will produce for you all year long.

I know too that finding bottom "transition zones can be hard, but because of various reasons like slightly higher O2 concentrations, burrowing insect hatches, ect at various times of the yr (May fly hatches, midge hatches, ect) these can be absolutely fantastic if only for short periods !
