Offshore, main lake cover like rock piles. Also, standing timber off of points and/or adjacent road beds. Marinas are always good too for shallow and deep fishing.
If you can't find em wind em.

- Heavy shoreline vegetation for the Top Water bite. - Deep Grass if available for heavy drop shot. - 20 ft. Irregular contours next to the channel, creeks and river channel for Crig dragging. How do you find deep grass if you are not familiar with the lake? Sonar, down/side imaging Do you have an example pic of what it would look like on SI? I have run through several searches that google provides to come up with some shots for you. Believe it or not most are pretty sorry. These guys that do take the time to try to put up some helpful information are using 5 and 7 inch screens and do not show much except some short grass. That is not what we are looking for. First you have to be in a lake that grows the stuff deep like Lake Amistad and a few others. We are talking about grass that is 20 ft. tall. It grows on the sides of deep drops and once you get inside a canyon it grow right down the middle all the way to the back. There is no mistaking what deep grass looks like on your depth finder. You are going along looking at your depth finder sonar at a fairly slick bottom then all of a sudden the screen totally changes and there is no question that it is tall grass. The edge of this grass grows basically right on the lip of the contour and follows that contour as it goes in and out around points and into gouges or ditches. Deep grass is absolutely one of the easiest underwater covers to recognize on the down scan and side scan. Hope this helps. Sorry I could not help with the pictures. If you google Sonar Pictures of Tall Grass you will see a few shots but not many.

Do you folks have go to dock flipping baits? Honestly, I have limited myself so much to just fishing docs (bad BAD habit) that I can skip pretty much anything I want under a doc. Definitely want to use spinning gear, even the best of them will get the occasional bird nest if you use a bait caster. I would practice standing a few feet away from my truck, and see if I could skip a bait underneath and out the other side... and of course, practice with actual docs is always good. I don't skip Carolina rigs much, they tend to tangle...but t rigs, jigs, weightless, even spinner baits... OH and try to skip it next to every support beam that goes down into the water...
