We are at a near record low pool here, so I'm devoting some fishing time to just looking for subtle bass habitat like ambush features. I just mapped two drain ditches emptying a flat into an old creek bed, what must have been a corn field above the creek. The furrows are still there, all parallel to the bottom contour lines. But here and there after the farmer abandoned the flooding field rain must have come to wash furrows downhill across the plowed furrows. Bass use those to enter and leave flats, the shortest route to deep water sanctuary. Using a handheld GPS I marked several spots a lure ought to go come spring. I have about 400 new targets marked I didn't know were down there, mostly massive stumps on ledges, and rock piles from landslides, and a bluff with small caves and ledge slabs like cave porches. Do the looking now before rain comes and fills your lake back up. Jim
