Fishing Maps

[JohnF52]

There was a commercial fishing map made from the COE book, the lake was in yellow, on 5-6 waterproof foldout pages. Don't remember the trade name.

I have that map. Bought it many many years ago. It is from Structure Graphics, in two booklets on tyvek like paper, very detailed, shows all the old pre impoundment things. I like the Navionics maps better. Paper maps are a pain on the lakes. I used to use them there.

I wrangled up an old COE map about 7 months ago ( friend's dad was corp and helped build lake). It's a nice guide, but I don't put much into it, it's a good source for old structure, but that is about it. Navionics is fairly current ( Thanks JOHN!!, but it's internet). : P . Main thing is water level. Get out and find your spot(s) that are the best. It's good now, fish your points, drop-offs, and transitions. Fish are transitioning and scattered, but are there. Nothing beats experience and wisdom..... Find pieces of structure on gravel banks/slopes, deeper transition areas, or any place where it's going to cost you (by cost you.... I mean hung hooks).The nastiest area's to fish are usually the ones that will get you a nice fish! BANG! deep structure. OR, you can read FnF's/J-Doc's reports.... they'll usually aim you straight at getting fish in your boat.
