    Default New Lake


    I have a hard time fishing a new lake for the first time. Tommy, what are the four top things you do before fishing a new lake. Thanks

    Study Maps, Study Maps, Study Maps and Study Maps! LOL But not too far from the truth.

    I first find all of the maps I can find on a lake - including aerial photographs - it's incredible what they can both show you and help you understand.

    Then I call anybody I know that may have fished there - even if I am fishing a walleye tournament - I call my bass buddies - they usually have run into walleye - esp with my favorite tactics - SHALLOW WATER

    Then - I work the bait shops - buying lots of tackle first - incredible how people will open up if you spend a little money - good for the little guy - good for my tackle collection - tough on my wallet.

    LAST and most important - TIME ON THE WATER - taking all of that data and putting it together.
