How do you fish a lake for the first time???
I was wondering, how would some of you fish a lake for the first time.. I fish one lake and fish it all the time.. But I am wanting to travel a bit more just to see other lakes. Do most of you stick to your guns and fish only one way or do you take in consideration the lake and get a game plan and go from there? thanks for your input!!!

once you locate these ares , use you electronics to locate fish , if theres have no fish or life then move on to the next area and do the same, eliminate water until your marking fish and bait fish, these areas should be fished

Greg nailed this one boys!!! I use the Navionics app on my phone instead of a paper map, but paper maps do have great detail, and come in handy to find the structure described by Greg.

To think of the hours and days I have wasted trying to figure out Fork, Livingston, Sabine Lake and East and West Bay.
I agree hiring a guide is the cheapest way to learn how to fish a new lake. They will show you the pattern that is working best for them at that particular time, and the pattern is really what you're looking for on any particular lake. After that it's up to you to do your homework, and fine tune the pattern to fit your needs, whether it it be Numbers of or Size of fish.
I doubt they give up their personal Big Fish spots, or their honey holes tho!!! They WILL put you on good fishing however!!! Most guides do some tournament fishing, and they love getting paid to pre fish. BE OBSERVANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
