Hello all!

I'm preparing for late spring and would like to get some insight on bluegill / redear /sunnies fishing. I want to get my 3 sons (5,6,8) on some bed fishing this May. We live in Central Arkansas, so no ice / ice out etc.

I'm not new to fishing, but I am new to fishing from a boat (and brand new to using electronics) so my question is:

How do you decide which spots to check (for beds) on a new lake? What do you look for on google maps? What do you look for when on the water?


Thanks in advance guys!
