There are a couple of ways to approach this massive point. At some point in time you will want to use your depth finders to look for the spots around the point that the fish and bait fish like the best. Both area 1 and 2 have about the same contours; so the wind direction will usually be the determining factor on which side the bait will be on for that day. Side Scan the entire point.
I am seeing 5 bar pits that have been dredged out around the point. This drops the slope to 20 ft. into each of the pits at full pool. Between each of these Pits are sections of high ground that will hold feeding fish. The Irregular features around the Pits are not that great. I have put RED-X's on the ones that I feel are the best. Some are on high ground, a couple of small Protrusions, some on the slopes toward the Pit and a couple in the Gouges leading out of the Pits toward high ground.
When my time is limited and the structure is not that great; but there are ups and downs in the contour lines, like between these Pits, I choose to drag a C-Rig around the point.
- I have laid the RED LINE trail to follow which will take me to each of the features.
- Start on the NW side of the point to work into a SE Wind.
- Working such an area can be accomplished much better with two fisherman.
- Man up front can do some dragging; but normally wants to cast to the Hot Spots of the Red-X's and working search baits.
- The man in the back will drag the deep water contour working the slopes, dragging across high ground and along the edge of each of the Pits.
