Do your Homework

Before your next trip to your favorite lake some things to consider the night before. Did it rain, creeks could become stained ( good ) or creeks could be muddy (bad ). Wind - could help with certain baits ( crank & spinnerbaits ). Could make it tough to navigate back at the end of the day. I try to go against the wind in the morning. Cold fronts make fishing tough- scale down & slow down. Also if you keep a log book check past patterns as well as locations. This should help you eliminate unproductive water. Good luck
