WAY BACK WHEN

[Ketchn]

half a minnow sunk to the bottom on a small jig head beside a tree in the lake in deep water and ever so slowly raise it until something pulls back .
simple and very effective

I spent the summers on Lake of the Woods in Canada from the time I was born until about age 22. Got there on July 1 and left just before Labor Day.
No phones, television, zero electronics on boat.
If I didn’t learn landmarks, I would still be there trying to figure out how to get back to the cabin.
Changed my first water pump on my old 115 mercury up there.
Good times and memories I’ll always cherish.

I have been to Lake Kishkutina in Ontario a couple of times. Smallness nearly every cast! Fun times.

I got more serious about crappie after moving to TN in ‘05 and got a bass boat in ‘09. Won my first tourney I entered with it by stumbling into some bamboo a gent that I later met had set next to some productive cedars. As I fished it later I noticed that if I lined up 2 light posts in the parking lot close by and ran straight toward them I would find the boo when I got to 14fow. After that I found other piles and stakebeds by looking for an odd landmark and “sniffing” around a little.

we used to open water striper fish out of a 12 foot john boat , no graph , we would limit on them easily by using landmarks to find the hump out in the middle of the lake .
but to be sure many times one tree on the bank to this day can tell me if you are near the spot we need to be visiting .
