Thread: SI interpretation 6/4 (drop shot deep gills)

" also did not see any defined creeks near,just slowly tapering down till it made or meet a creek drop off? "

genec these shots being pulled from the HB map dont show the channel, that's a good point you brought up that I forgot to mention. The main channel was at the tip or ran along one side and the tip of the point where I was taking fish. One location I fished had a feeder creek coming in from the right and the main channel ran along the left, they met out near the tip. I found on most of the points that were not near a channel were more mud or silt bottom.

" the flats do not have to be the spot where the fish will be"

I saw fish along the flat but most were closer to the structure.

"it looks like on your lake you majored on 15 to 25 feet but the flat was shallower,so i would not have to find a flat as deep as the fish are for they could move up to feed at their own time"

The depth range was based on location where I saw large groups of fish. When I first went out I was just looking at points but soon found the points in a certain depth range, had flats and structure with drops near a channel just held more fish. I think they are holding there due to having everything they need in one spot. (This was the first time I've taken gills like this well after they have came off beds. Some of the guys on the bream forum told me about it and went searching)

The lower shots are from KY Lake, just north of here. They show points that matched what I found down here that produced and those that did not. If I wanted to go up there and fish I would have used this as a starting point to try and find them. I could change once I saw something different or hopefully stayed with this to get them.
