Several components came together which I explain in my book but essentially fishing pressure, wind, current, rising/ falling water and micro locations where everything gathers.

Dang Green Bay you got it dialed in. Truth be told my diving started out 50 some years ago picking lure.Dang I loved doing that. Still have a few spoons and spinners I picked way back in 1970. What I found back then was mostly spoons and spinners the hair type jig baits. Was kind of right at the start of the twister tail thing. Hot bait then was Beetle Spin. My favorite prize finds were the true Mepps spinners and original Daredevil. We found a lot of the cheaper spinners and spoons though. Now that I don't move so good and not really diving anymore. I really enjoy seeing your post of your finds. My brother just Saturday past me a year old News paper story about a guy up your way. Ed the Diver. Guess making a living now just picking lure.

Thanks everyone. I appreciate hearing stories of how others are doing this. I have been working on my system for several years and there is no one secret to finding them - the system I use depends on what conditions are like on the water. They key is understanding the water and letting it dictate which method to use. Once I start finding them I search everywhere that has the same conditions.
