Went out this morning to try and find some deep water gills. While they are bedding it's not a problem but after they come off bed I'm used to catching dinks. After reading how they move out deep off gravel or rocky points I picked out several points that dropped off deep. Due to wanting to see hard bottom mixed in with the mud I changes over to red/green pallet. This was the 3rd point I looked at and the red was not located in the other two locations.

I would run my pass while making a recording then pull off and review the spot. (Greg! your the man!!! worked great!) In this location I finally saw red indicating hard bottom.



I then changed over to my normal blue pallet but was not seeing what I thought should be there.




As I went through the pallets I came to brown and was getting better.





I then went from sharpness off to sharpness on and could tell the point was holding fish. Notice in the red/green shot the long shelf of gravel. The top of the point in this shot is more of dots which I took as fish. The shelf was more of a blur. Now to see if what I was looking at was what we were after.





The wife and I went back and dropped a marker over the right group of fish and never left that spot. We used a drop shot rig with crickets and hooked one after the other. Great day with the better half and a new spot to boot.

Hope this info helps someone.
