How does it make this. Reflectivity or heat retention of the vegetation?

this is the vegetation layer shown on my insight genesis mapping subscription of wixom lake. i love wide expanses of weedy flats for bluegill. fishing in the thick stuff is tough to do  but that alone may produce a trophy. what about exploring the weed gaps first.... HMMMM?

yes this bluegill was caught on the bottom with a dropshot in a school of fish vertical jigging.

Did you see the fish, or group of fish?

Ken, I'll take your "close" any day.
With your help, I may get "close."

this fish was caught aug 21 2014 drop shotting a night crawler in about 15 ft of water.

so as summer draws to a close i can say i came close a 9.9" 10" class Bluegill .... close but no cigar.

added some more mapping and exposing the creek channel junction ... nothing like getting to know your lake like scanning every square foot of the bottom. i feel like i know every square inch of the six hundred acres ive scanned so far. every weed bed hump and point.
