When it comes to catching more fish, location is everything. The 90/10 rule states that 90% of the feeding fish are concentrated in just 10% of the water. If you’re not fishing in the right zone, you’re missing the action!

Where to Find the 10% Zone
The key to success is fishing smarter, not harder. Fish gravitate to areas with multiple types of structure that provide food, cover, and ambush points.
Best Fishing Structures for the 90/10 Rule
- Oyster Beds – Baitfish and crustaceans gather, drawing in predators.
- Grass Flats & Potholes – The “camo bottom” effect creates perfect ambush zones.
- Depth Changes & Channels – Fish use drop-offs for cover and easy feeding.
- Wind-Blown Points – Wind and tide push baitfish into predictable feeding zones.
- Mangroves & Islands – These structures provide shade, bait, and protection from larger predators.
