[QUOTE="WTM, post: 4759836, member: 6230"] learn to read a topo map, without that skill you will be fishing blindly. back in the old days ledge fishing was fairly easy, but now, with todays electronics, everybody and their momma is parked on them and the fish see just about every bait ever made. back then it was paper maps and a depth sounder. as far as ledge depth that fish hold, it depends on the lake. as far as stratification and turnover, typically most of the tennessee river/lake system is a non issue because if it does happen its not noticeable and short lived. when you get around the deeper parts where the flow is less, like watts bar, i imagine it would be an issue. on our part of KY lake, shell beds, hard rock bottoms are key, old road beds, drainage ditches, etc. bass chase shad against them and can pick them off easier. they lose shad in soft muck or silt bottoms. we could write an essay to try to explain it, post screenshots, etc.but the easiest thing to do is watch this video. he came out last year with a series of videos which turned some heads on his pro tourney lake breakdowns. this kid was like a child prodigy to bass fishing and has already figured out things that it takes most people a dozen years to learn: [url=https://youtu.be/4FTi1wx0Y68]https://youtu.be/4FTi1wx0Y68[/url] [/QUOTE]
