I found this spot back in early August. I've fished it four times since and every time it has produced a fair amount of fish in the boat. I've found some other spots within 200' of this one but I can't seem to get them to bite.
Will do the next time out if I can keep the pole out of my hand long enough. When i see that pile of fish, I’m like a kid on Christmas morning. Thanks Rickie

Awesome shots I am still learning, so when you guys are driving over this spot how do you get exactly back over top. Do you throw a marker out the back where the finder is located. I have some brush piles located but I struggle getting back where I think I should be. I am only running a Helix 5, screen is small and using glasses so that is part of the issue also.
thanks
I'm thinking this may be my issue getting over some of the other spots I marked with fish. I guess I could bring a designated pole with a weight on it to cast and look for the structure. I think my best bet is to slow down and focus more on trying to get on them once I see them below. Maybe throw out a marker so I have reference and kind of float around with my lines in the water till I get some hits.
This spot above has a couple of stumps sticking up so I can easily tie the boat off to them and drop straight down with my 14' poles.
Yes DEFINITELY use a marker bouy. Drive right over your waypoint. Watch the pile show up and as SOON as the entire pile is on the screen, throw the marker at your transducer. The pile will be on the OTHER side of the marker. I couldn’t stay on piles either until I started using a bouy. You’ll increase your catch 1000%!

Go into your settings and turn your Current track ON -- that will place a line on the map of exactly 5 feet of where the Boat has traveled --- get back on the same line and the Boat will pass back over the same area - then throw the Marker and you will not have to hunt, scattering and spooking the Crappie -- you might have to close some window to have the map show but getting back is more important. then you can close the map and turn on the Down image or 2D or what ever you prefer
