This Gadsden County water is recorded as J Frank Smith Pond, a lake, and I would spend the first part of the trip around one promising section of bank until I learn something from the first adjustment. On unfamiliar water, I would rather fish one easy-to-read section of bank until I find a repeatable bite in the first few casts than make several random moves.

Fishing This Water
