Fishing the hump

Fish the "humps" in the water! The fish love 'em. A hump is basically an underwater island and could be just below the surface to 10's of feet down. Look for a raised surface bottom from its surrounding depths and sharp drop-offs around the island forming the edges of the "island." Often they are made of rock and or sand and weeds and this mixture is inviting to the fish. They are a good resting place and a food source for big fish looking for bait fish staying out of open water. Throw in a marker buoy or anchor, but don't get caught in the rope!
