    Default Never Too Old (or too bald) To Learn


    I've always had a hard time going past a known 'spot' to look for something new. But yesterday while motoring out of a spot, I noticed a brush pile on the DI. So I marked it and went on to my next spot. Well neither the first spot, nor the next were worth a dang, so I thought I would try the new mark on the depthfinder. I struggled to work into the wind without spooking anything out, but when I finally got within 15' of my marker buoy, I picked up a fish....then another and another. Might have had 10 keepers in all plus some shorts. Nothing over 12", but still good eaters. So I learned more about working in the wind, and a little about trying new 'spots'

    Even a blind squirrel can...........uhhhhh, never mind. Good job, Vic. One can NEVER have too many spots.

    Congrats on making the electronics pay off. When I fish alone I always go looking for some new stuff. I get in the bad habit of going to a spot that I can catch fish when I take guys with me. But I am lucky enough to live close and get to go a lot so I can explore a lot. Also helps that I don't eat fish and just like to try and catch big fish. If I liked fish I know a spot or two that would be cleaned out

    I know I have so much to learn. But when I'm in a tree field like what we see at Truman or Smithville, I don't have a clue where to start, and I'm not sure any sonar can help in that stuff. I'm learning lots here, tho, so there may still be hope
