Trout...where?

[wtretrievers]

If you're searching unknown waters, the answer would be "all the above" you just mentioned, process of elimination, It's a ****** when you when you can't go but just a few times a year, to find fish or new waters it sometimes takes alot of fuel & alot of time. What I learned on Big Lake in 9 months took alot time & fuel. I fished it dang near 4 days a week for 9 months, only because I worked their & staying in Hackberry, but still don't know nearly what I need too.

Same way with other places like Venice, stayed their for almost 2 years, learned through trial & error. Somedays the fish were here then next day they weren't, so what do I do now, look elsewhere, different bottom stucture, dropoffs, flats, points.......all goes back to process of elimination.
