Folks, I've been putting this off for a while but wanted to share some feedback on Don Harper's chips. I know several on here have seen his posts about baits, areas, etc. I'm going to admit at first I was skeptical. I've been using his chip for 2 years off / on. They have helped me build 4-5 areas that I have complete confidence in year round. While I have 3-4 more that I have marked for different times of the year. I'm a believer that his chip helped eliminate time in getting to know the lake.

Below are just a few fish from Ray Roberts that were linked to places he helped point out.




Before this becomes a blast fest from some of you naysayers, I'm not saying this chip has fish flopping in the live well. I used it as more of a learning tool to ID places to start and find a pattern for the year.

Who?

I'm intrigued but am not sure what the chip is really? Spots?

Found some relevant info

Thanks for the great post avid_basser.

Man use this "system" along with Simplistic Fishing and you are winning some serious loot.

What I got was a combo chip.

1) Brush piles (Similar to the corp ones that can be found via google, but these are way more accurate and highlighted the better producing ones).
2) Highlighted areas with details around time of year, patterns, etc. on where to look, how to work the area, etc.

I use the brush piles more for crappie and sand bass. I've had fun catching the cooler fillers with this.

The highlighted areas gave me an idea of how to read the contour and also make a first pass of the zone. Basically like a guide on chip.

I found his information, email, with the lengthy details more valuable, than the markers itself in some areas. Others, I had no idea existed and driven over them a few dozen times.
