Triangulation: How to Find the Fish Again and Again

Generally, fish congregate predominantly in several key areas in a lake, rather than being evenly distributed. They look for rocks, underwater tree stumps, grass, ledges and other features. Finding these areas can be key to successful fishing. Once you have located these pockets of fish, you'll definitely want to be able to come back in the future. One easy way to find your way back to an exact location, is the use of triangulation. To do this, simply look first to the east, and find a stationary object on the shore like a tree or a large rock. Memorize its postion. Then look to the north, and south doing the same. Next time you want to find this location, just align yourself in between these 3 points as before. You may want to keep a small notepad in your tackle box to jot down some notes on the position of the objects. Remeber that these things may change from time to time and that rocks can slide, trees can grow, shorelines can erode so bear this in mind.
