When in doubt, fish the seam (the area between two speeds of water). Fish will always hold in the slower section waiting to dart into the faster section to snag something. Reading the water is key.

Should I move that 7” Lowrance to my console for another screen or should I keep it up front next to the livescope?

[@Histryboy]

Hey Johnny how much have you fished Lake Jordan in North Carolina? Heavy Hitters from MLF had huge bags last year. I was wondering if you based suggestions on details from Jordan or are they generalizations from lowland resevoirs in the south? love your chanel!!

[@FishtheMoment]

I fished lake Jordan 2 years ago and caught two bass over 8 pounds while I was there. The patterns will be based on tournament data from events like the heavy hitters and determined by the specific characteristics of each lake, along with current lake and weather conditions. Not all the patterns will be from Lake Jordan specifically because there's not enough tournament data from that lake for every season. But we do base our patterns off of lakes with very similar characteristics to the lake you select. This actually gives better answers in general from our testing.

Great video and I think your electronics crapping out actually helped to prove the apps effectiveness. Not everyone has advanced electronics but if you're in the right area and fishing the right bait and the right depth you WILL catch fish. App seems to help limit the guess work and for me might help me to narrow my focus. I tend to go into overload sometimes and dont know what to throw.

[@FishtheMoment]

[@erk678]

I look at my deep dive app every day to see how things change with weather patterns and water clarity. The more I use it the better I am liking it. I will have to say I am impressed. I am spending more time in the shop rigging baits and tackle that I would not normally use. I have expanded my arsenal and bought new rods ,reels and line to match the techniques. I love to tinker out in the shop so I am a kid with a new toy.LOL 🤔

[@ryanmanners9174]

Are you still a fan of your livescope? I’ve been thinking about either getting an active target vs the panoptix. I personally like having a non touch screen unit, would you rather go to a touchscreen one or do you like the 1022 you have now?

[@mattduprau2028]

Make this app available for Canadians! Although there is only US lakes, we can pick inland lakes or bodies of water that are similar to here and replicate patterns. Champlain/Ticonderoga fishes very similar to the Bay of Quinte here in the spring for example

[@jordanmason8296]

How did you determine which portion of the lake has the clearest water? How do I determine that on my home lake?

[@FishtheMoment]

I use Google Earth images. If you go to your lake and drive around, you can figure out the water clarity by sticking your rod in the water with a bait on the end. Then pull up google earth and see what color the water is. Usually the darker blue water is clear and the brighter green water is dirty.

The Bass Tank has the best Livescope deal running right now. It's $2,000 for a 9in unit and a livescope transducer.

You can also go for a 9" Lowrance Elite FS unit by the steering wheel for $1,000. It's a great unit. I run one 9" unit by my steering wheel and a livescope by my trolling motor and it works great.

If you can figure out the offshore bite, you'll have a lot more consistent results. On the day in this video, the shallow bit was really tough, but I looked decent because I only showed he fish catches.

I could use that app while fishing in my kayak and still catch fish. Yeah I can’t run all over the lake but I can thoroughly fish the areas that I can.
