For walter and bass I would start with an area that has a deep creek channel swinging in close to any kind of wood or shallow flat with scattered wood on it. Also, those bays with stumps are probably feeder creek arms with creek channels cutting through the stump fields. I would work along the channel edge in these areas casting cranks, bouncing them off stumps, and making contact with the lip of the channel, maybe Rattle Trap’n in the dark water. Creek channel intersections will concentrate fish as well. If the water is pretty dark then 2 to 8 feet deep would be a good depth to spend some time in. If everything else is equal, some stumps or wood with gravel close by should attract fish. Try to roll as many tastey items as you can into one area. Deep water, shallow shelf, wood, rock, sand and the transitions that go with each – those types of areas will create lots of diverse forage for little panfish and baby bullheads. And one more thing with the dark water, the best bite may be at lunchtime. Good Luck,
Kolby
