Heavily pressured waters can be intimidating for bass anglers. Every dock, obvious point, and weedbed seems picked over, somedays leaving you wondering if there are any fish left in the lake at all.
Always observe what's going on in the area you're fishing! Watch where other anglers are fishing and try to find structure and cover away from those areas. Look for subtle changes in things like water clarity, cover density (think isolated and less obvious), or current breaks that might hold hidden bass.
Utilize technology when available! Download lake maps and depth charts to identify potential hotspotsthen consider using a sonar unit to locate less obvious structure, cover and baitfish.
Take some time and watch as Jonny from the "Fish the Moment" YouTube channel describes his approach to using electronics to find non-standard fishing locations on todays pressured waters...
Even though his approach is centered on the use of elctronics to find offshore areas, sometimes the same principles apply when fishing shallower areas and looking for visual clues as well!
