Fish concentrate in key areas in the water.  Fishermen call these honey holes.  Below are some examples of places you may locate while fishing.  You could stumble upon your own honey hole.

WEED BEDS - Bass, bluegills, walleye, pike and muskies all love weeds growing in the water.  Weed beds provide protection and food.  The weeds are also home to minnows, crayfish, frogs, or shrimp that the larger fish feed on.  Weeds filter the water from impurities and add oxygen for the fish to breath.  Best lures: jig and pig, plastic worm, spinnerbait, and topwaters.

WOOD AND ROCKS - Wood (sunken trees, stumps, dock pilings, etc.) and rocks are found in most fresh water or saltwater fishing holes.  Fish lurk around these types of cover for shelter and for ambushing prey.  The slimy coating, or algae, that grows on this cover attracts minnows and smaller fish.  Best lures: jig and pig, crankbait, spinnerbait, and plastic worm.

RIVER MOUTH - The area where a river or creek flows into a larger body of water can be excellent for fishing.  The flowing water carries the food to the waiting fish.  For many fish species, the river acts as their spawning grounds (reproduce).  The fish will hold in this are in the Spring until the time is right to move upstream.  Temperature differences between the river and the large body of water meet in this location, creating a perfect temperature condition for many fish.  Best lures: Spoon, crankbait, spinnerbait, and topwaters.
