If you stop in just about any tackle shop in the area and ask what they are hearing, they will tell you what depth of water their friends did yesterday. That’s a good place to start. Also look for the fleet while out on the water in the AM. It will spread out during the day, but it’s a good place to start. Pay attention to your depth finder to see where you are marking fish. Go from there and change your lures, color, speed, direction and so forth. I prefer to stay away from the fleet, but it will give you a good starting place. Just don’t get on top of people.
