I am centrally located to many saltwater hot spots. But, to my pleasant surprise, I am even more centrally located to many freshwater hot spots. Using an old guide book, I recently went out on a scouting trip.
My first destination was a “large” lake. I know this lake houses bass of respectable size. But, working a large lake from shore with limited access, a sandy bottom shoreline, and little structure proved to be a challenge of marathon proportions. :-(.

My second destination proved to be more optimal for shore fishing. Good access. Lot’s of structure. When I return to this location, I will be armed with frogs, Sebiles, and Rapalas! 😉

The old guide book proved helpful in finding these two fishy locations. But, it’s dated! Some of the landmarks and street names are gone or have changed. The Google Maps app on my iPhone kept my Suburban’s fuel bill from breaking the bank. ;-).
