I was wondering how the fishermen on this site broke down lake maps? I use a number and highlighter system to try and eliminate water. I have four lake maps all the someone for each season. I mark water depths I think will be productive an then rate the cover in that area with a number so if I get on a color an number an catch fish I can duplicate it on the rest of the lake. How do you do it ?is there a better system? How many just go fishing?

Even David Fritts will tell you that crankbaits are numbers baits not size.that's why I use them alot . when I go hog hunting I use 1/2 ounce jigs .when the grass gets right I use paddle tails get good quality bites but its real conditional on my home lake guntersville

Your gonna laugh at me when tell you its a xr100 one knocker your thinking one oz in that depth water seems big but the larger bait bigger profile actually doesn't run much deeper than the 3/4 oz version it has a little more bouyance sounds crazy but it works for me

I believe in 4.7 to 1 I have three I use daily its so much easier to crank all day and you can always turn the handle a little faster if you need to .most people fish crankbaits way to fast most of my bites come on a slow retrieve. Its easier to speed up with lower gear than it is to slow down with higher gear
