How to Break Down A Lake From Home Bass Fishing 101

In this video I show you guys how I use Navionics and google earth to help me find high percentage fishing spots before I even get to the lake. Hope you enjoy it and send me a lake near you and I might break it down in my next video. #fishgarmin #garminpro

Bradley, the way you talked about highways being interstates and where they are going to stop is so much better than most fisherman who use this method .

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Glad it helped! Thanks 🙏

[@richardblake4777]

Great video, 79 and still learning. Excellent teacher. Thanks.

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Thanks Richard appreciate the support

[@geauxoutdoors]

This is one of the most informative videos I’ve ever seen Brad. Thank you so much for putting this out here for guys like me who want to learn but don’t really have anyone to teach them!!!!

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Absolutely! Thanks for continuing to watch.

Excellent video thanks for posting!

[@shiny_popcorn]

Thanks for this. I'm more of a hands on learner than a visual learner. But this definitely helped out

[@michaelbelvin8369]

Thanks for the break down information! Looking back at Sam Rayburn now from this weekends fishing trip to try and piece together where and why I got bit.

[@crowejr77]

Great and very informative vid Bradley. I really enjoy listening to you break it down and give reasons why or why not you would fish certain areas. Thanks bro. 513

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

You bet man thanks for being so supportive all the time!

[@stevenmiller4368]

Bradley that was a great video, It is really cool that is a lake that I have fished in the past. And those look like pretty good spots that you pointed out. Great job man, keep the videos coming out!!!!

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Thanks Steven

[@kronicfishing2788]

great video, This really helps me understand what to look for in a lake, I usually just run banks with no clue, and waste a lot of time, not knowing how to find the productive parts, ty again.

[@timholsworth316]

thank you for sharing what most certainly is many years of experience! Most guys would not be so forthcoming . Well done Bradley! and thanks again.

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Thanks Tim

This might be one of the most informational videos on bass fishing I’ve watched on KZbin for a bass angler. Outstanding job man

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Thank you bud! Just trying to make something worth watching.

[@rickwalt8767]

Great video. A lot of good info. Keep up the good work and keep them coming. Anxious to see you fish this lake to see how it looks compared to maps and how you do. Good luck.

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Thanks Rick it’s on there! Think my boy catches his PB on one of the highlighted spots!

[@MrDeputy83]

Excellent instructional breakdown.

[@mikeantes9597]

I love this type of content thank you Bradley.When you have time, take a look at Raystown lake in central Pa. I would like a little help with where to start on this impoundment again thank you and take care .

[@jonk.4384]

This was an awesome video. You are a good teacher Mr. Hallman.

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Thanks Jon glad you liked it!

[@mdudley3455]

Great Video Bradley. Ran through it twice this morning and I am sure Many more times. Not only am I visual, I am also a slow learner. Thanks for doing it.

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Me too!

[@jshirks]

Great insight, thanks for sharing!! Would love to hear about Percy Priest, TN!!

[@rocketsurgeon1746]

New to your channel and love it! Great work. Keep giving out real and good advice and you'll grow like TB. We know the channels that don't give much real info and they usually don't last. Again, great work

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Thanks Rocket Man

[@basseinwithbartletts7745]

I shared this on my Facebook page for our high school fishing team lots of good info.

Excellent I’ll study this and follow thru with what I’ve learned on the High Desert lake here in Southern Utah ! KR St. George, Utah

[@elritroid1617]

Very cool, thanks for the lesson!!!!

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Yes Sir!

[@texasAUtiger]

This was very educational. I like hearing you talk thru how you think about what you are seeing right as you are seeing it. That process translates quickly to other lakes. Please do more of these types of breakdowns!

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Thanks for feedback. Will have a fall breakdown coming soon.

[@toddreed4193]

Chattanoga, TN Chickamauga Lake! Liking the channel! Great info!

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Thanks man! So much out there on Chick already but I love that place!

Appreciated

[@davidstoner1881]

Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I'll put it to good use.

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Awesome! Hope it helps you.

[@juanhenriquez1460]

Great Job Bradley, this is my first time watching one of your videos, this was GREAT very educational. Just subscribed looking forward to more content. I may be a little lake but a break down of Lake Hopatcong in NJ would be awesome. Thank You

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Thanks for the suggestion Juan!

[@duanemathis6749]

So glad I found this, if you are still looking for lakes to do there is a lake here in Oregon that has a tone of pressure that would be interesting to see your take for summer fishing. Tenmile lakes, lakeside Or.

[@bronzebackbilly9034]

Awesome video man! You don’t see many of these type videos from pros!! Keep these style of video coming. Very beneficial for the average joes.

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Just dropped another one for ya!

[@chriswells4547]

Brad, awesome breakdown. Learned more in that 30 minutes than all the seminars I’ve attended through the years, from several tour level pros to Lowrance people themselves, that couldn’t make it more user friendly than you just did. If you’re looking for something closer to home, to also do a 2 part, please consider Stockton Lake or Pomme de Terre here in Missouri. Again, thank you for the video and the time you put into your work to benefit us.

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Thanks..... glad you got something from it!

[@lukegarcia7164]

Another great video again buddy! A++

[@delylewoods1682]

HEY..... I just subscribed to your channel after watching this video.. You really broken it down for me, definitely something I will use after this quarantine is over. If you need a lake in Texas, Please breakdown Ray Roberts!!!!!!!!!!

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Thanks for the suggestion and the scrib!

[@jerrygirdner2753]

Hey I have no idea why I'm just know seeing this since it's been on here for over a year, I watch most all of your videos and you do a really great job of explaining things so people that don't really fish as much as some of us do. Great job with all your content. Oh by the way, you got anything on Douglas Lake in East Tennessee? My buddy's have a derby there April 11. If not that's fine. Keep up the good work. Stay safe out there on and off the water. Tight lines and Semper Fi!

[@davidball3461]

Great information again! This is a freaking game changer for sure. I have commented back and forth with you about Weiss Lake . You said it’s a bucket list trip. So when you coming to north east Alabama and fishing Weiss. I’d love to see you fish all that TON of skinny backwaters on the upper end of the lake. I have an aluminum bass boat that is absolutely a necessity up there and I have a nice extra bedroom for ya and a freezer Full of crappie. FISH FRY

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Thanks David!

[@heathstokes2523]

Very informative on smaller details that i sometimes overlook when doing mapping homework, stay safe and have a awesome year. Sent you a DM also

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Thanks you for the support!

[@danielriportella7389]

Bro you seem like a great person. I fish tournaments as a boater but when it comes to the bigger tournies like flw, u.s. open I fish as a non boater. Yes we all want to win but I always respect the boater and never want to give him a reason to have a gripe with me. You seem like the same kind of person. God bless you and I hope you have a fantastic 2021.

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Appreciated

[@mattvogel13]

This is awesome! Do more of these! I like the idea of you going out and putting it into practice on lakes around you. I'm up in MN so would love to see you do one up around me and how you break those type of lakes down, even thought you couldn't do the follow up part.

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Thanks Matt. I have had lots of request for a natural lake breakdown. I will definitely do one in the future for maybe a summer or fall pattern.

[@mattvogel13]

@@BradleyHallmanFishing Look up Leech Lake in Cass County MN or Green Lake in Kandiyohi for a couple good ones to break down in MN, we only have about 11,000 to choose from!

[@mikebrowning2431]

Outstanding video, great information! I think I have seen the Bass Tank on Truman Lake in Missouri, your break down of it would be awesome

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

I’ve never been on Truman! That would be a good lake to do a summer breakdown on.

[@clutchswimbaitco]

This is awesome! Can’t wait to see more.

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

More to come soon.

[@rossbradley01]

Bradley, fantastic video! I'm not as interested in learning about a specific lake as much as how you handle the different styles of lakes. What about a video on one of the TVA river system lakes. The time you're spending on these videos is paying off. Your channel is quickly becoming one of my favorites. Thanks for schooling us!

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Thank you very much I really appreciate it. I’ve had a few requests for TVA lakes so possibly sometime in future

[@vinosfinostapasandwinebar5109]

Very educational. Thanks. Falls Lake in NC would be a great lake as it has three distinct parts. Lowland, river and deep bowl with a dam. Keep up the great work.

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Thanks for the suggestion and watching.

[@ChristinaArnold1976]

I am not really into fishing ran across your video very educational so I am a new sub I am enjoying this my husband and I have a v dive boat be careful out there

Thanks 😊

Cumberland is a tough one with all the smallies

[@chrisfoley3320]

This was great man. Cant wait to see you fish this lake. Smithmountain lake va. Is my home lake and would like to see you break it down. Its the most highly pressured lake besides japan. Great job man you took my mind off things for a while.

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Appreciate the comments

[@TheSinglebard1]

Love this I learned a lot from this video

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Good deal!

[@johnrohr1389]

Love your videos Bradley!! I would love to see some content on some of the more natural lakes vs. the typical reservoirs. I live in Northern IN and fish Michigan quite often for big small mouth, but breaking down a lake that is essentially just a big bowl has always stumped me.

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

I have this coming your not the first to ask. Thanks for the feedback.

[@robpatterson2441]

Great video! Would love to see a breakdown of Belton Lake or Stillhouse Hollow Lake near Belton, TX. Keep up the great videos! Let's all get out and fish!

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Appreciate the feedback

[@jamescheatham8255]

Hey Bradley, appreciate the best video I've seen on how to breakdown a lake. Awesome Intel in lamens terms, Thank you. I live on Lake Martin, Alexander City, Al. I'm going to implement what you went over in your video to Lake Martin. If you breakdown Lake Martin I would like to see what I missed. This is all a new approach to me. Thanks man

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

I could be wrong but is lake Martin a River? I think I’ve been there at some point. I know it’s sad but after many years of traveling they can sometimes run together.

[@jamescheatham8255]

@@BradleyHallmanFishing it is a river system that has several dams thru the state. It's considered a "man made lake".

[@paulbruemmer9629]

Great stuff Bradley!! If you have time could you breakdown Table Rock Lake. Thank you

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the suggestion man I appreciate it love Table Rock!

Great video. Thanks a million.

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Thank you

[@aspadafina]

Bradley another great idea. This is one thing that I admire a pro does. There ability to break down a lake. Where I'm from there is hardly any reservoir but more natural lakes. It would interesting how could break down a lake this. ei. A portion of the great lakes or any natural lake in the central midwest. Keep up the great work

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Thanks for the compliments. I will look into it.

[@brianmoore9956]

Great video! Thanks for the insight.

Awesome video Brad. I have never fished Lake Ellsworth for bass but look forward to the fishing video. I know u probably have fished Arbuckle, but would sure love for you to break it down. I caught a 10 lb there in June 2019.

Thanks for the comments I will look into this one.

[@michaelking4041]

Thank you Bradley. I learned a tremendous amount . I am working with a local radio station here in Lake Havasu , Arizona to get a talk show started. A break down of our lake would go a long way . We have snow birds come every year and want to know how to fish this lake and your information would be most helpful. Thanks again for considering us,

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Awesome idea with the everyone landing to winter there. Thanks for the suggestion.

[@davidball3461]

Just go ahead and go to Meade. You can fish in a little puddle and hope you don’t hook into a dead body. They have found 4 already. That was a beautiful lake. I don’t think it’s going to come back up being in the middle of the desert.

[@patrickcoblentz]

Lake James in North Carolina Great info

[@lenclark6099]

Hi Bradley, enjoyed this video very much. I know you are from Oklahoma but I also know you are very well versed on Texas lakes. I would like to see you break down Sam Rayburn and Toledo Bend please, as these are the two lakes I fish most often!!! As a matter of fact, they are the only two I fish. I also realize that they are Really large lakes and it would be hard to cover the entire lake in one video, but I fish the south to mid lake areas in Toledo Bend, and Black Forrest to and including Amish Bayou and Bear Creek areas. These are the areas I would be most interested in on both lakes. Thank you so much for your time and efforts!!! You do a.great job and you make it easy to follow and understand!!!

[@genelemon2698]

I have to tell ya for just getting started you've come a long way in a short time. You're putting out content that is useful and easy to understand. What a unique idea. Can't wait to see you apply it to the on the water experience. If I may, it would be interesting if you could edit in some of this video to the on the water video. It would give a good comparison to the map study vs the on the water experience. Just a thought. Keep it simple and keep up the good work. P.S. a lake I would like you to breakdown is Mosquito Lake in Cortland, Ohio. The northeast section of the state. They once held a MLF tournament there. Thanks again, looking forward to Part 2.

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Appreciate the compliment it has not been easy. Thanks for the suggestion I will look into it.

[@rustyscopano2667]

[@Jerry-xx8dx]

Well I'll take a shot here. My home lake is Foster Joseph Sayers dam in howard pa. Or another close lake is Raystown Lake in Huntingdon Pa. Would be cool to see a breakdown of one of those to see the way you would approach it. Another awesome video!!
