gobig(and everyone else who has helped)-that is a great way to approach the situation-as the first person responded,maybe I rely too much on the fishfinder because of my lack of knowledge.I am going to get a copy of the topo map of the lake,then use that in conjunction with the fishfinder to rate the spots and go from there. It should be a great start and help narrow the search-thanks again.

Looking for primarily LM-I have had decent luck with SM using plastic worms fished on the edges of sandbars or along other drop offs. I have a Humminbird 587(?)-yes I am able to differentiate bottom type to some degree but not an expert for sure! The lake has some reed areas,quite a few lily pad spots which I do fish-although with no sucess yet-other weeds I know include but not limited to milfoil-I have fished the milfoil areas around the12-18 ft depth with diving crankbaits and lipless as well.Not sure if I'm just too early in season or wrong time of day for areas I'm targeting.

I am looking for some advice-I fish Devils Lake in Lenawee Co. Mi- I am new to this sport and am unsure where to locate fish.The lake has alot of large sandbars with both gradual and sudden drops as well as large spots in the lake where it gets shallow then deeper quickly-from reading posts here am I correct in assuming that I should be working these spots as well as the usual shorline spots around docks boats etc...? I have a good fishfinder but am not finding but a few isolated fish. Thanks in advance-love the site-good info and good people-happy fishing!
