#1 rule. Keep the boat moving 'til you find fish. You can look at a lot of empty shoreline, then suddenlythere will be fish. (even if it looksjust like the barren stretch of shoreline you already covered.) #2. I notice the fish are in the shallows later in the night. From 10pm on. Every lake is different tho'.

Bring extra clothes and layer.

Christine's right on the money, keep looking, they'll be around somewhere. I also take extra precaution to keep myself out of the cold water.

Up in the shallowsor onpoints off of really slow moving channels where it is shallow and has some structure is where we've been findin em. And in those shallows they are stickin tight to the structures, weeds and logs. You find down trees or logsin the water you'll find a group of fish layin real tight. Atleast thats what we tend to see. WCL
