Are there any good maps out there that show the stump fields in the lake?
Navionics is pretty good.
I picked up a used Fishing Hot Spot map of the lake. It shows the stump fields and depths pretty good. I like to study a new lake before I get there so I have a idea of the layout.
Down on the St. Johns river and surrounding lakes I always used 1/16 oz jigs with grubs. I was wondering if any of you use crank baits for the specks in this lake.
Only if you have a deep pocket book! Those stumps like to chase down crank baits!:Rofl:Rofl:Rofl:RoflQuote:
