We probably all have in our minds what we call the triangle. I like your number 1 (dry dock) and number 3 (sage hollow) points. The line between them are what I would refer to as the north line of the triangle.
Your number 2 point I would move over, out in front of the narrows about 200 yds. From your number 3 point to this 2nd point (along the east side) would be what I would refer to as the east line of the triangle. This line for me sometimes runs closer to the shore and sometimes farther from shore but parallels the shore.
The south line for me is a little more ambiguous because it does not close the triangle. In my youth I worked as a surveyor and they like everything to close. I either choose a point out in front of Haws or in front of the SB Marina and then head toward the point in front of the narrows. That is what I would refer to as the south line of the triangle - I know it doesn't close on the west side and goes against everything I was taught in my surveyor days, but basically a triangle. That is only my interpretation. We will probably see other interpretations as well.
I have caught some on all sides of the triangle this year and other places as well. They have been all over. Heck I even got one prospecting over in Renegade on Monday.
Not sure if you are braving the crowds this coming weekend and holiday. I have from Saturday to Wednesday off and family that wants to camp and fish so we will be up there quite a bit. I suspect we will be fishing early and late and probably off the beaten triangle. Seems they can be found in uncharted (to me) waters as well.
