I don't have a GPS # I just use the main one that is posted on the Hotspot map. The problem w/ Hanna'a is there are so many boats anchored. What I do is I usually will drift the down current side after a morning wade, then slowly move further onto the reef upcurrent. A lot of the boats have already left & you will see more slicks late AM. If I see a slick or bait fish I will drift it & use my trolling motor to jockey around the anchored boats at least a long cast & a half away. Most of the stationary big fish will be on the down current side of any humps you see on a fish finder. The PVC poles will tell you which way the current is moving. We will use heavier lead heads to keep our plastic on the bottom. If there is a lot of bait activity I will throw a topwater or a mirror lure. Keep your eyes peeled for bird or slick activity just off the reefs also. A lot of times a good school of fish will move off the reef to stay w/ shrimp pods or bait schools.
Hope this helps

: I have not had very good luck fishing Hannas Reef, can someone give me some GPS points and some advice how to catch trout there? I prefer to throw artifical baits.
