Super User Catt Posted August 3, 2008 Super User Share Posted August 3, 2008 Many of y'all would have guessed it would have to be a grass flat, uhhhh no it aint; my absolute favorite piece of structure for finding larger than average bass would have to be an intersection. Intersection Defined: Spots where two creeks intersect or where a feeder creek intersects with the main river. Intersecting Logic: Around the Y created by the intersection are found multiple forms of structure such as channels, points, ridges, ledges, sharp drop-offs, slow tapering drop-offs, and humps all in one location. The Best Intersections: Depths of 12-18' inside the Y is my #1 attractant but this depth on all three sides along with timber and/or grass would be the prime example of a Honey Hole. Fishing at the Y: With my boat positioned inside the Y (usually anchored) and casting from shallow to deep with Texas Rigs, Carolina Rigs, Swim Baits & Jig-N-Craws I'll find the bigger bass. In winter months fish these areas with Jigging Baits or Drop Shots in 20 to 30' of water. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User Sam Posted August 3, 2008 Super User Share Posted August 3, 2008 Super tip. We can find these intersections on topo maps. Catt, its 6:30 in the morning where you are. I thought I was the only one up this early on a Sunday morning who is not going fishing. ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super User Muddy Posted August 4, 2008 Super User Share Posted August 4, 2008 Sorry bout your back Texas Mook! Question: When Fishing at the Y, what part of the Y do you start at? What about if there is cover somewhere along it like a broken tree? Dominick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayassa Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Funny you mention the Y, I have two favorite spots both Y's where the north fork meets the south fork of the river and also a small creek. Both spots produce quantity and quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User Catt Posted August 4, 2008 Author Super User Share Posted August 4, 2008 I like the inside of the Y; if you look at the V formed by the intersection and next look at the point of that V that is where you'll likely find me anchored. Why do you like this particular location, because I have 3 creek/river channels hopefully within casting distance of the boat. The next reason is I'm anchored on a point and as y'all should know points point the way to bass; this point is located at the end of a ridge formed by the water flow of the creeks/rivers. Y'all starting to get the picture? All these various types of structure found at one location! Stir in some timber ether standing or lay downs with stumps, a brush pile or three, toss in a little salad in the form of Hydrilla, Coontail, or Milfoil and y'all have done located a bona fide Honey Hole far sure.

Super User Muddy Posted August 4, 2008 Super User Share Posted August 4, 2008 Hey Catt, what about really big guys, laying in the middle of said Y you know the ones that give up your spots!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User Long Mike Posted August 5, 2008 Super User Share Posted August 5, 2008 Because of the heat, I tried fishing at the Y yesterday morning. I got kicked out. It seems that the swimmers didn't appreciate me throwing a Zara Spook in amongst them. Go figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBandit35 Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Good tip Catts. I've done that quiet often in the summer. The way I look at it is pretty much like deer hunting set up where you follow a trail until it split in two like you call it "Y" One of the best place to ambush. Long Mike, thats hilarious. ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super User islandbass Posted August 7, 2008 Super User Share Posted August 7, 2008 That is great information. Thanks! Unfortunately, I will not ever face such an enticing scenario any time soon as they don't exist in my neck of the woods, but at least I know what to do if I ever get the opportunity to face it. 8-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way I look at it is pretty much like deer hunting set up where you follow a trail until it split in two like you call it "Y" One of the best place to ambush. Exactly what I was thinking as I read this thread. Always a good spot to set up. Seems "great minds" think alike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
