Well this is the first blog in a while, not sure how I picked up the flu last week, but here goes.
When fall comes around the corner, the big fish are starting to bite. Looking for their winter stores of nutrition, the fish really turn on. When hitting a new lake, there are certain areas that an angler can key on that will more than likely hold fish.
Look for inlets and outlets in the lake. Current attracts the bigger fish because of the cooling effect and oxygen levels. Its also stirs things up, which brings in bait to feed, and drawing in the big fish.
Look for points that either drop off or have small flats before the bottom plunges down. Not sure if you can make out the difference in the water shades, but this point had a nice drop.
Also, be aware of any changes in the weather patterns. A sudden front coming can make a big difference in the mood of the fish.
If you follow some simple indicators, chances are you can find nice fish too. Have no idea why this pic came out so small, but you get the idea.
