[@sirronbailey3109]

No matter how much I fish going back and watching your videos always gives me something extra. 😀👍🏽

[@jinxthecat3822]

You are an incredible teacher! I've watched a ton of "supposed" instructional videos and your thorough and analytical approach is truly impressive. Know you are going for your Masters in Business Administration. Hope you use it to make a ton of money teaching us novice fisherman!

[@jp-bassin]

Thanks that helps out a lot, off shore is really my week spot while fishing tournaments and I’m doing everything I can think of to get better. Learning everything I can from you and going out to practice it. Hopefully I’ll get it figured out. Lol

[@michaelferguson167]

I commend you for willingness to get this strategic and have such a thorough plan of attack in your fishing. Personally, this is way more work than I would ever want to do when I'm on a lake. I like simplicity in my fishing and here's one way in which I do that. I look for lakes I can fish at night- usually shallow nightmare boat/ski traffic lakes where the fish just won't feed during the day. I just found a new one a few nights ago and caught 19 keeper Bass the first night I fished it. Granted, the lakes you fish down south are way different than the small lakes I'm talking about where I can use my kayak. Those lakes down south have much bigger Bass due to the overall warmer temperatures and usually necessitate a bigger boat. I'm not knocking your strategy, I would just go about it differently. For example, I understand why professionals want to mark as many locations and then go back and fish them later. I don't do that ever- if I mark fish I'm fishing them immediately because that might be the window when their biting. Granted, your primarily interested in Bass, I like catching whatever I happen to find under my boat whether that is a crappie or a 30lb King Salmon in Lake Michigan. When your max speed is 4.5 mph, you got to get em when you find em.

My brain is hurting from all the information, this was the most informative fishing video I have ever seen. I just bought a Lowrance hook 2-9 triple shot. Fishing on the lower cape fear river in North Carolina. Wil let you know if I catch bass or crappie. Thanks for the wonderful tutorial.

[@jimmckenzie5453]

Solid info. You have provided us with such comprehensive tutorials there is no reason not to fill the boat. I will combine a brush pile run with off shore rock piles and should have a very efficient milk run. Thanks again. You are the man!!

[@randymolloy3016]

Do you use live sonar now to see how active bass on brush piles are? A video on that would be different from every other youtuber! Keep the videos coming Jonny! Love to watch them!

[@j.christopherhickman2060]

I yes’s I must learn first , how to use my phone .love watching and learning with you . I will donat when I figure out how

[@midwestfishingandoutdoors3077]

You have improved my finder reading ability greatly..thanks

[@RetroBassin]

Love the channel format. Really hitting your stride during the shut down!

[@wesleyhughes363]

Great info. Would love for you to talk about how to fish the brush piles/structure closer to the shore.

[@marktroy66]

Just happened on to your channel while searching for info on side and down imaging. Pretty darn good info. Ive learned quite a bit. This one regarding brush piles was pretty informative as well though typically up here in Maine we dont see that many brush piles unless they’re naturally occurring.

[@savvysavage1857]

Bro, you are the man when it comes to making informative fishing videos! You should definitely consider a career in education!

[@ronabner1577]

Really enjoyed this video. Very good information.

[@xOPER8Rx]

Sonar video... Instant thumbs up. Teach on teacher.

[@NeilGraham.I.M.F]

Great video johnny. I got to start dropping some brush piles. My home lake is only 3700 acres and I think it only has three brush piles if that

[@handyallaround5776]

you knowledge is amazing , if i can ever crack the summer off shore ledge /brushpile code , i will do the pro tour and you will be taken care of, thats a promise!

[@DubH46]

Very thorough video. Very helpful to me. And congrats on 50k! People are catching on to the secrets over here. Lol

[@paulcurtis5814]

That makes sense thanks were do I find your lake brake downs

[@johnjanca8023]

I like Variety in bait, presentation and location this is great for me,

[@danham3344]

Great info and very good comparison with fishing lay downs and time management. Never thought of it that way. Love your stuff.

[@hooperharris7811]

Great video dude very helpful!!

[@betrickey]

Good stuff! Will be back for more.

[@keithrycroft4302]

Your knowledge amazes me good job

[@ybuzzdry]

Never thought about this analogy, I like it

[@natehershberger2227]

Another great effort and video, touched on time management not spending to much time on one spot very important come tournament time! 👊👌

[@leeyarbrough9636]

Another good video. I think you should be fishing some sort of big events like opens an such you have the best 101 basic fishing tips out there.

[@cjdye269]

Another great informative video. The knowledge in your videos is invaluable.

[@Jaqob76]

Thanks learning before I purchase :)

[@MohamadAzmy77]

Very informative, love the content. Thank you Jonny!

[@thedutchfisherman7078]

As always awesome video and info mate! 👍👍👍

[@thereelpistolpeteoutdoors8037]

Excellent teaching video

[@jerryschoch1085]

Great job Hawkeye

[@landonjohnsonfishing]

Great video man

[@reginaldking7781]

Enjoyed video lions of information

[@robertturner9132]

Fantastic video bro!! That's top shelf info you're giving out !!

[@JenkinsBassFishing]

Awesome video man. I'm definitely going to use these tips when locating bass on brushpiles this summer. Glad I found your channel!

[@markgeorge9965]

Great information

[@pittsburghangler]

Congrats on 50k!

[@MrDarren17]

Great video! Great channel! If you ever get to Pickwick or Wilson I have a place in the boat for you

[@jimmycleveland1373]

Excellent content as always!

[@gabeharris422]

You mentioned weather, current, and wind as activating feeding windows. Do you ever look at solunar tables and take that info into consideration? Just curious as to your thoughts on the moon phases. Great videos! Keep them coming

[@donhershfeld9930]

Always enjoy your approach. But on this question (of when fish might become active on any particular brushpile), unless the piles themselves are quite differently arranged, or they are located in radically different portions (or perhaps depth strata) of the reservoir, why would one think that the activity windows on one, would not more or less correspond with the activity windows on any/all? This question might not change the practical strategy for covering multiple spots, but still seems worth bringing up.

[@petecorey1122]

Great stuff man, one of your best. Appreciate the time you spend making these vids. When you throw your 10 inch worm offshore on a brushpile, do you throw it on a texas rig or a c-rig?

[@justinaskew1136]

Great video. Great strategy.

[@dennyswartz3439]

enjoyed this video good advice

[@rogerscheuermann4409]

Great video as usual. When do you plan a Fish-finder school in AR? You are the Professor of Fishing.......Keep it up,, appreciated

[@reedtower]

Awesome informative video thanks for sharing man.

[@kckman52]

i think the solar table also determines when the bite is

[@kenrodman7620]

Great information buddy

[@lonniehall9006]

Great show

[@JigglinGem]

Great videos. So when you find a brushpile loaded with crappie does that mean the bass won't also be there? I do see bass and channel cat swim through on livescope while crappie fishing.

[@mattquinlan4629]

50k well earned! Great info as always with the electronics and moving:-)

[@hotkey180]

Hello from Australia I love watching your videos about this sort of stuff but at the moment I have got bad heath problems with my back! And I have to sell my boat till then while I wait till it's sells to I can get a kayak. So I'm stuck to fish on the banks witch I'm ok with what I'm trying get at! Is I have a deeper so I can see if they is any fish around and I was wondering have you made a video about how to use one properly? Or you have not made one yet? I mean I know how to use it! But is there anyway you might know some tricks to fine tune it so you can make it easier by any chance? If so can you please let me know or let me know you have made a video that will help me in a way. Where it applied to what I'm trying to do with what I'm saying about the deeper pro? Or can you make a video about land fish finders that would be sweet FTM THANKS YOU IF YOU SEE THIS.

[@mathewdillon1578]

Do you ever video yourself fishing KY lake?

[@MrEricdgreat]

Great information thank you 🙏🏽

[@tagoutndragout9955]

Hey great video!! Will the feeding windows last an hour or just a few minutes?

[@kedman1217]

Great videos. Question. Based on water clarity (muddy, stain and clear) and time of year, how do you determine where someone would place a brush pile? Are brush piles more effective on tops of humps, sides of humps, main-lakes points, secondary points, ledges, saddles, middle of coves, etc. Just wanted some coaching where to spend my time graphing. I assume someone placing a brush pile is dropping it in a high percentage area to attract bait fish and bass. Thinking structure determines best location to place a brush pile but would appreciate your thoughts. Thanks.

[@ditchfishing9148]

Very good

[@benestes9186]

Some fishermen especially fly fishermen rely on the SOLONAR theory to predict feeding times.

[@RodeoCowgirl-55]

What does brush pile do for the fish? I have friend that has big big pond. What are they for?

[@northeastpac-man5692]

When you hit a brush pile at the bite window and start catching them do you still just stay 10 mins or stay and keeping catching them until the bite turns off

[@MurkyWaterCentral]

Do you get these vids from your electronics clips?

[@mgm_coma219]

Is it common for a man made lake or reservoir to not have very many brush piles? Sure there are a few christmas tree piles here and there that crappie guys have put out but it seems like they stripped the bottom of the lakes around me clean before they filled them up!

[@samgaither793]

There should still be stumps, logs, fallen trees, road beds, house foundations, ect that fish will be around.

[@poststalone1496]

Yeah you just described my home lakes. Most of the trees were removed prior to the creation of the lakes. There’s no grass either. Makes it pretty easy to locate the fish since they literally only have rock piles to congregate on.

[@MurkyWaterCentral]

Can i actually record what's going on on my graph in the unit itself? I have a Lowrance Ti2

[@JenkinsBassFishing]

The Eite Ti2 allows you to take a screenshot but not record the screen like a video

[@bmsovick]

All I fish are tidal rivers...sitting on one spot for hours is a thing??

[@Bassmastersalad]

Good video but idiling over them will usually spook them

[@buffalobob870]

most fishing shows and videos show people catching fish but are very much lacking key information like local weather, water conditions, cover, and especially DEPTH. If I can only have one piece of information on a fishing report, I want to know what depth the fish are at....if they are 8-12 ft...you just eliminate about 95% of unproductive water...your videos are very informative which is largely lacking in the majority of shows imo...I will definitely pass it on to any I know!

[@andrewchilders6320]

What is that red cranking rod you have? Brand length power action

[@kidiraq8381]

C’mon Johnny, we all know your range is at 50k now!!!🦾😎🤙🏻

[@southerngurlfishing2561]

These are the videos I miss used to get 2 or 3 a week the livestreams and the addition of Randy is nice but I feel like the channel has strayed pretty far from what it was
