Howdy Brian.. I agree with you that the largemouth tend to school more in the summer and winter, leaving more lake 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 tried to figure it out, I’ve also tried hitting a number of different spots in a day and make a few cast 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?
