close to drop-offs.. rock bottom .. channel bends, etc, etc... caught a few short whites, a short wiper and small cats but no crappie or
walleye..

So I couldn't help myself in asking for a location .. just to see what makes a productive spot special on the dang lake.

Pulled the trigger on an Lowrance Elite 7 HDI for the color and downscan...gonna give that a try... I may have a
bunch of gear for sale after this or do my fishing at Dillons!
Sound just like me when i first started. But I got into the tourneys fishing an spent a bunch of money, got to th point wher I was averaging 120 days on the water a year. Then along came the kiddos and I only get to fish in spurts, but I generally catch fish.

But the fact of the matter is no matter how good you get or how much you spend on electronics, you will have those days when you are driving home from the lake scratching your head wondering "where the heck were the fish today"! So if you really enjoy fishing just get your butt out there as much as possible and the keys will start showing up!
