Reading Water & Finding Fish
What is structure and why do fish relate to it?
Structure is any feature that creates a discontinuity in otherwise uniform water — rocks, weed beds, fallen trees, oyster bars, dock pilings, ledges, drop-offs. Fish relate to structure because it provides cover from predators, shelter from current, ambush points for prey, and concentrated bait. Find structure, find fish.
