Research the lake first either online using Google or cdc forums. Finding a ramp location is important because turning around with a boat in the back is a pain at times. Once you get to the lake, drive around a bit just scout around with FF. Fish the go to spots like drop offs, docks, etc. Mine is visible standing timber or fallen trees in 10 ft or greater depth of water. Don't set in one spot for more than 30 min if fish aren't biting. For the landlubber, fish off of bridges that cover major creek arms if traffic and laws allow.
