Time to Scout

I'm sure all you know this but if it's slipped your mind, with many of our lakes low on water now is a great time to get out on the water and do some serious scouting for spots to fish. Even though we put 100's of crappie condos in the water we still scout for new stuff. It gives you ideas for where you might want to sink some new stuff and helps give you a good mental map of the places where you fish. A little time and work now will pay off this fall and next spring.

Excellent tip, Darryl. Preparation is the key to catching fish consistently. And while your out, be sure to spray paint me a big X on that spawnin' bank so that I know where to go next spring...

I just posted this on another thread but here it is again Chris. With Lake Greeson down low right now Jerry and I were scouting and we found some great spots for you to do your slow trolling. Lots of low lying stumps not much else to get hung up on very near spawning areas if not the spawning flats when the water is clear. I got you covered for next spring brother. Almost makes me want to retool my boat and slow troll some roadrunners. Just might do it to and see what happens.

Yea Nimrod is down too. I'm trying to drive wooden stakes around big isolated stumps. When the water comes back up 3' these make great fishing spots. I fished a couple days ago and most of my fish were on stake beds or stumps. :D
