We are looking at the west branch, Angelina/Attoyac. I know the exact type of spot I'm looking for and I know it exist, however I am having trouble finding it. I figured I'd get some outside perspective to see if there's something I'm just not seeing on the topo maps. So what I'm looking for is main lake humps/flats/points that have a North or North East side touching or in close proximity to the rivers. I'm looking on the north side of these places trying to find hard bottom/flat bottom next to drop off. I've come up with a few places on Navionics, but I think I'm missing a lot. The ideal depth range on the top of the hump/flat/hardspot/point is 18-28 ft. The lake is 4.5 ft low rn so you have to account for that. I'm not expecting a ton of feedback but any outside perspective helps. Thank you.

Okay since no replies yet I started to look into this but I'm going to bed now. I just got oriented to what the Angelina and Attoyac branches are, this is a lot of ground to cover but I believe I understand what you are looking for and I will try to help

I appreciate the redirection. @Catt However I have watched many of those guys and am even friends with Mr. Ken Smith. This relates to a pattern that I was tipped off to and has to be found either on the water or looking at maps. I have spent as much time as I can right now on the water with minimum results. I know that what I'm looking for does exist though. Like I said I appreciate the help bc any is better then none.

The only way you're gonna find what you asking is by spending time on the water.

 

Map study will give you an idea where hard spots should be but only by graphing can one verify.

 

Have a nice day ?
