Rocks

Rocks are good solid structures that provide fish with cover and a place to spawn. They also create a place where bigger fish can find smaller fish to eat.

Points with Break Lines

A point goes from the shore and extends into deeper water. As you move from the shore to deeper water, it gradually slopes creating a break line that will allow fish from deeper water to come to more shallow waters to feed. This gradual sloping point is the more ideal place to fish versus a point that drops suddenly into deep water or one that doesn’t extend to deeper water at all.

Drift lines and wind

Drift lines are the lines you see on the surface of the water when the wind blows. When the wind blows, it moves the surface water around as well as any food that may be toward the surface. Fishing the drift line can be tricky, but can also be an excellent way to find fish.

Weed Beds

Like rock, weed beds over cover, protection, and a potential breeding ground for fish. They also can house smaller fish that bigger game fish like to feed on. It is best to fish weed beds that lead to deeper water or weed beds that are already in deeper water.

Islands and Sand Bars

Islands and sand bars are a great place to catch fish especially if they slope down into deeper water. Again, this slope allows for fish to move from deeper to more shallow waters for feeding. Also, since currents move around islands, there may be a more abundant source of food on the surface of the water bringing in more fish.
