Tuning up your tactics won't matter if you're not fishing where the fish are.
Use a contour map to increase your odds of finding fish. Drop-offs, old creek channels or river beds, tapering points and other breaks and distinct habitat changes hold more fish than nondescript flats and open water.
Pinpoint the best-bet locations on a map before you ever leave home. You can avoid spending time on fish-less areas of the lake by doing a little homework ahead of time.
