There’s been some posts about using google ect to find new fishing locations. I think one piece of the puzzle is the often over looked LakeMaster Map Chip for your gps.
The photo in the following link is of a couple wing dams on the Upper Mississippi that I’ve boated by many, many times. I was screwing around with a route one day and happened to notice a “blow out” on the inside of the wing dam. (I call this Garage Mapping”) It looked pretty good on the LakeMaster Chip, so I checked it out one late afternoon.
Right behind the largest blow out was a HUGE snag of wood that collected there. Old wood. The perfect spot to set up for normal or low flow Flatheads.
Now I haven’t fished this location during pre-spawn or spawn, but it has produced some good size flats for me when the other locations have died out.
