Complete Guide to Topo Maps | Top 7 Structures for Bass Fishing

Hey y’all. In this video, I explain how to read topographical maps and identify 7 types of structure using Navionics and Google earth maps. Learning to read contour line maps is a necessity for all serious bass fisherman and once you master this skill, you will be able to find and catch big bass year-round! Hope you enjoy!

You might have the best instructional youtube channels on bass fishing there is. You and TacticalBassin are spot on. Ive probably been fishing several years longer than you've been alive but I still learn so much from your work. FANTASTIC editing skills too, I can really sense you passion for fishing in every video you make. Keep up the good work.

[@johnnysudz]

V1-Simulations well said! Gone Fishin’

[@Matt-gm5qr]

Agreed! Keep it up sir and thank you.

[@robertchadwick1552]

This is a 1st class video. You're a great teacher & very knowledgable. Thank you so much for all you do to help anglers.

[@thatarkguy]

man you have helped me become a better angler. i stopped fishing for nearly 8 years and just got back into it last year. came across your videos and i just keep watching them over & over. then i go out to a lake & work on a specific concept i learned from a video. i find the videos even more useful after going out and practicing doing what you talked about then watching the videos again. every time i repeat this cycle i get better & catch more & bigger bass. thanks so much for doing these. you really are talented and super helpful.

[@jean-sebastienlatouche3678]

You are the scholar of bass fishing and a great teacher. Knowledge is not always easily taught by those who have it and you are a prime example of mastering both. Fish the Moment is the best.

[@juanjoselopez1916]

Hi Jonny, your videos about fishing are the best available in KZbin

[@mbeck9680]

I just discovered your channel, awesome educational information. You have set yourself apart with these great informational videos. I will be retiring the 1st of the year and look forward to doing a lot more bass fishing. The information you provide should help me get more enjoyment out of my fishing. Keep up the good work!

[@mattnash5159]

Mike Beck Nice! Enjoy living "the dream" haha

[@JohnDavis-te5fd]

[@jcnpresser]

Great video man, especially the offshore stuff. No body breaks it down as good as you, don’t know if they really know what they’re taking about or just don’t want others to know how to do it. Also you actually catch fish in your videos, thanks again!

Great video Jonny!

[@gfour20]

Awesome. Thanks for sharing the information.

[@kevinbeaudean704]

Thanks Jonny. I am a bank beater by choice but like options. Points are no Brainers but those ditches caught my attention. Even a suttle ditch of 3 or 4 feet in the middle of flats BAM. I will be looking for them. You definitely made me look at maps different, thank you.

[@dougmackey3696]

Jonny, I taught middle schoolers for 33 years. I like to think I can spot a great educator. You do a great job. I am enjoying your videos and can't wait to get out and use your help. I have good electronics but want to improve my user of them. Thanks for doing such great work.

[@jamesrice05]

Awesome video as always!!! I don't understand why you don't have a million subscribers??? Your video's are always full of knowledge and professionally done. I feel like we should be paying you for your content! Thank you so much for what you do to help out our fishing community!!!

[@calebloden3991]

Awesome videos man. I feel like I’m learning a lot.

[@iddddaduncan]

You have a career in teaching clinics if you want to, the way you explain things is easy to grasp and your personality makes it enjoyable to follow. I've been fishing for close to 50yrs and have learned a lot since watching your videos,thanks!

[@ohjayy]

You do a fantastic job with these instructional videos! Thank you for that! One thing I haven't found is something breaking down rock quarries, specifically rick quarries that are 60+ feet deep on average with with only a couple flats that are very tight to the shore and rock walls that drop straight off immediately to 25+ feet.

Keep up the excellent job and I am going to get with you on patron soon as I fish lake sydney Lanier in Georgia the most . I'm sure you've heard of it. I need to learn more of how to find deeper off shore productive areas. I have a bird 12 helix and a 7 helix but not connected . Working on a ether net cable after I type this. Good luck and god bless you for what you do. At some ointment I would ice to invite you to come and fish this phenomenal fishery with me,if tour comfortable doing so. I would be happy to provide a hotel or lodging for your stay in turn of teaching me some things. I Ave a 20 foot 201 with a 250 X's and everything works . Just a thought for you to ponder .

Thanks for the continued support Jason! Haha I was surprised they sold out so quickly! Unfortunately, I only have a limited amount of time to do 1-on-1 sessions or maps breakdowns because I'm working full time. I'll let you know when one of the slots opens up!

[@jmwalls73]

Ha, no worries at all, just glad everything seems to be going well for you. Let us know more about what you're doing when you're not on the water. A bright future for sure.
