Big Boulder Lake #6 is a lake in Custer County, Idaho and covers about 0.2 acres.
On a water as small as Big Boulder Lake #6, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity.
On a return to the best bank near a shaded bank close to shade, the fish mix is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
On a check of nearby water near the outside weed line with a moving bait, begin with one slow bottom presentation and one moving bait, then let bites show whether fish are holding close to cover or roaming open water.
On a quick scouting pass near a channel bend under flat light, start where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clear water and dirty water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it.
While using a point-to-pocket comparison near the downwind side with stable weather, spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search.
On a quick scouting pass near a clean gravel patch near visible bait, a medium spinning rod, 8-pound line, a small box of jigs, a few crankbaits, and a simple bottom rig cover most situations; change depth or speed before changing every piece of tackle.
On a quick scouting pass near a firm-bottom flat near firm bottom, record the wind, water color, depth along the active edge, and cover after a bite; those four notes are more useful on the next trip than a long list of spots that did not produce.
