Howdy Brian. I agree with you that the largemouth tend to school more in the summer and winter, leaving more lakes unpopulated. I joined this school with the desire to become more consistent. I have caught bass over 10 lbs. I’ve caught 30 and 35 lb bags in a day. But I zero way more than I like. If I had to guess, I would think it’s as high as 70% of the time. I’ve tried staying in the area and trying to figure it out. I’ve also tried hitting a number of different spots in a day and making a few casts then moving to the next. I also fish where there is at least bait and some structure (usually a presence of birds) deep and shallow. Granted, I’m on a pretty tough reservoir. But I know I can do better. I am convinced I am fishing where they are not. I don’t even see many bass on forward-facing but usually tons of bait. I have all the latest electronics. Maybe I should be using side imaging and 2D more. Any suggestions?
