I like to explore new water. When exploring new bassy water, I tend to seek water accessible only via kayak or tiny boats because these waters tend to have less fishing pressure. I recently explored an area that I have never fished before.
I paddled into the area and fished every stump, laydown, cut, and point. I fan casted the entire open water. No bites! No bumps!! No evidence of life!!! After one hour, I paddled out into the main river and made my way towards an area that I have fished in years past with spinner baits and jigs. I decided to explore this spot with a Senko. Fish on!
I set out to discover new water and failed to find fish. Instead, I re-discovered old water and found fish. I am looking forward to re-discovering old spots with new presentations.
