Seems to me that fish are pretty evenly distributed. I tend to fish south of Goose in the summer because of proximity so I get to know that area better and am more successful than when I venture further north. Winter and spring I mostly fish from Winganon to Spencer mostly to stay out of the wind a little better. I imagine that if I spent a year north of Winganon I would catch as many there as further south and probably better quality but it's hard to hide from the wind up that way. With crappie migration patterns we may be catching the same individual fish all over the lake. In short- I think that I at least catch a lot more fish in the areas where I have paid the price to become familiar with what works and where.
