If you were to be given one secret tip for fishing in lowland reservoirs (as opposed to those in the mountians) ... this could be one to open the potential “Hot Spots.”
If you just used this one secret, you could probably stay in the fish all the time.
💯 “When looking at a map of such reservoirs, we should always circle all the places where the inundated river and creek channels bend in close to a shoreline.
Two main things occur:
(1) The big flats to either side of the bend are eliminated.
Why? Because the bulk of schooling, adult fish simply won't cross such a wide expanse to get to shallow feeding areas...when they have a direct route (the bend) that leads them there.
(2) The shoreline structure features of the reservoir, in most cases, go all the way to meet the bend.
What this means is, the shoreline slope is generally shallow (as opposed to steep), and it will keep this shallow grade "all the way" to where it meets the bend in the old river or creek channel.
The old river or creek bend, then, becomes a focus, or "funnel" area for intercepting fish in their movements.
All the areas that fit this situation should be marked on your lake map and checked out thoroughly - with trolling and casting.
Trolling first with bottom bumping baits, because trolling is your teacher. It is how you first contact the fish, and that tells you where, when, and what to use on the cast.”
