Stay Up-Current of Bottom Fishing Spots

Capt. Rimmer Covington believes one of the most basic but overlooked approaches to fishing structure in the Gulf is that you must concentrate your efforts on the up-current side of any bottom structure. When it comes to fishing the lumps, rigs and wrecks off the Mississippi Delta, whether anchored or drifting, he will always start up-current. Being acutely aware of where the current is hitting the structure drastically improves fishing productivity when setting up a drift or anchor.
