Could you please post mapping screen shots that show example of a good ledge that you have caught a few fish on.

Also how it relates to nearby channels, creeks, community spawning areas.

Not looking for any waypoints or even the lake, just trying to get an idea how you identify the ledge.

DS/SC imaging would be a +.

Thanks guys.

Not any images, but some solid advice from KVD (it's an excerpt of a John Phillips e-book on bass fishing, quoted by Jay Kumar's BassBlaster e-mail newsletter last week):

Tip of the Day

How KVD finds ledges, and not just any old ledges.

Excerpted from this new eBook, all quotes from KVD.

> "I don't get on the Internet and search for information. I look at a lake map to try to determine where the bass should be at the time of year when I'm fishing, under the weather and the water conditions I'm fishing. Then, I study a topo map of the lake to see the ledges and the drop-offs that show-up on the map."

> "I'll go one step further and graph the area, once I reach the lake. I use a Humminbird side-imaging unit.... With a Humminbird side-imaging depth finder, I can look at about 200 feet of bottom at once."

> "Also, to locate the ledges, I spend a lot of time with crankbaits trying to cover the ledges and searching for those little ledges that most people may not find. I'm looking for the very subtle dropoffs, like a 1- or a 2-foot dropoff. I still won't find those hidden bottom breaks, unless I spend a lot of time cranking a crankbait. Crankbaits give me a better picture of the bottom and enable me to feel the type of structure on the bottom."
