Because lakes can be so big, you will find that fish will gather or school is certain areas. You will need to move around the lake until you find a place where they fish are schooling. You should start getting a lot of bites once you find the right place.
Look For Covered Areas
Many fish prefer to hide in shady or covered areas. Look for spots around the lake where there is sunken debris, submerged logs or tires and other items. Many fish nest in these areas and others prefer to hide and even hunt in there.
Fish The Shallows
You don’t always have to fish in the middle or deepest part of the lake to catch a fish. Many fish prefer the shallows. This is where the minnows live and they attract many game fish. Try fishing from the bank in shallow coves or grassy areas.
