In part 2 of this insightful session, Pat does what he does best - talks about breaking down waterways and identifying patterns that translate to fish in the boat. Pat really has a unique ability to dissect water systems and give anglers a roadmap on where to begin and how to move through spots on lakes and rivers. Points of discussion include:

• Current and muskies
• How to identify patterns and extrapolate to catch more fish
• Mapping
• Bait selection
