The obvious spot from the alamo swim is the reed bed on the right of the swim.

 

The most other common hotspots are the bars which run along the length of the lake, there are 3 or 4 of them and can easily be found with a marker rod, plus the silt channel all of which are known patrol routes.

 

You`ll have a better idea from this map.

ah spot on

 

cheers mate, much apreciated, fink il take dat map with me lol

now all i got 2 do is battle it out with my pal who gets to fish what side

Both sides have their hotspots as the fish generally move along the channel then up the reeds and vice versa, so you both have just as good a chance as each other. You don`t need to cast that far either, last time I fished there, I was only casting a max of 30 yards.

 

Also, don't neglect the smaller gravel patches out towards the "snags"/"top dug out2 direction though, they can produce a big hit if you get it spot on.
