Countdown to the Bassmaster Classic | Locating Winning Fish with Randy Howell
“Most people who plant brush piles do it in a fairly predictable way. You will often find them on flat points in even depth numbers, like 10- or 20-ft and then also right off the end of docks where people have pushed them from their own docks,” he said. Using this as a starting point, he uses SideScan to find and then mark them with a waypoint. To quickly be able to find them again, Howell adds a detailed description along with a symbol showing a tree. “I’m very specific when I add the detail and will type in all of the information like how many brush piles, how many bites I got there and everything else I can think of, so I don’t forget it when I come back,” he added.
