Lake anatomy
Posted: Sun Apr 27, 2008 3:29 pm
Hello,
I am new to bass fishing. I just purchased my first boat earlier this year. It is an older boat (1988 Challenger with a 90 horespower Mercury). It is a good little boat and my sons (7 &9) and I have been learning about boating saftey, how to mix gas and oil, and how to quickly start a cold 2 stroke motor while other folks are waiting to put in. : )
We have also been trying to learn to fish for bass. We want to try and fish for large mouth or spotted bass. I have been searching the web for fishing tips and how tos. There seem to be many out there. However, one of the frustrating things is deciphering all of the terminology about where folks are fishing. Such as: fishing humps, points, creek mouths, etc. Does anyone have any good links to websites that would show a beginner what these things are and how to find them? i.e. Diagrams or illustrations. I figured if I wanted to "find" fish it is probably a good idea to become familiar with Lake anatomy 101.
Thanks for any help or ideas.
