Wheeler Lake -2nd Creek
I went out today on what was mainly a re-scouting trip. Back when I was fishing from a kayak and in the early days of having a boat in Alabama, I fished the 2nd Creek area a lot. I didn't have very good electronics, but marked things the best I could with what I had.
When I upgraded to the Garmin + Livescope, I transferred in all my old waypoints. The purpose of today was to cover old water and look more closely with my electronics and Livescope to learn more about the cover I've always fished.
I was amazed at retracing old markers that they were very accurately placed and transferred well. All the old cover seems to be holding up fairly well. It was nice to see what was actually down there where I have always fished. Most areas were holding fish well, but I was struggling to get them to bite. The wind was also getting up and making it tough. I was only planning on about 1/2 day on the water but I got most of the area north of the bridge covered. It was a good learning day. Managed to pick off a couple crappie along the way off old structure.
