Creek Channel Rule Eliminate 80% Of Your Lake in 5 Minutes

In this video, I explain the "creek channel rule" for quickly locating bass on new or unfamiliar lakes. While on Beaver Lake in Arkansas, I focus on areas where the main river channel intersects with a secondary creek channel, particularly targeting short creek channels to save time. I rely on traditional sonar and contour maps to find productive spots, pointing out that bass can be in depths ranging from 1 foot to 40 feet. Overcast conditions and the presence of baitfish are strong indicators of heightened fish activity. I stress the importance of being patient and using forward-facing sonar to track fast-moving schools of fish. During this session, I caught several fish using a prototype bait, showcasing how effective this technique is.
