Thanks David

[@stonyfloyd1438]

Great video! Thanks for the info.!

[@TheTinHorseMonty]

Thanks Stony. Good to see you on the Live Stream.

[@tommiks5649]

I'm still finding brush piles the old fashioned way. Thanks for sharing how your using the technology. Your video's are always great 👍.

[@TheTinHorseMonty]

If it ain't broke don't fix it.

[@tommiks5649]

@@TheTinHorseMonty yeah but I'd like to improve it.

[@bidkid2020]

Great video lot of good information nice fish you caught need to take a little bit of that luck with you on your next tournament

[@TheTinHorseMonty]

Thanks Bid. I hope the luck follows me!!

[@Greaternickfishing]

Sometimes better to be lucky than good!

[@TheTinHorseMonty]

I rarely turn down the opportunity that good luck brings. Thanks for checking out the video and good luck on the water!

[@chrishampton8842]

Didn’t look slow lol, nice video Gabe

[@TheTinHorseMonty]

Thanks Chris. It turned out to be a better day than I realized. It was a hot one.

[@134rwa]

It's great to be able to target and find brush piles instead of finding them by accident with your crankbait's open treble hooks, Haha. Some nice chunks in those piles.

[@TheTinHorseMonty]

Ya crankbaits are good for locating brush. I should've put that in the video!!

[@pennysgarage]

Damn James Hatfield out here rippin lips!!

[@TheTinHorseMonty]

Enter Sand Man. LOL

[@jakecarpenter6358]

Interesting comment/ observation on the crankbait. Have had excellent success on crankbait thus far. Been interesting to see if it dies out.

[@TheTinHorseMonty]

Hope the crankbait keeps working for you. They get a little wise to it around here. It still works for sure just not as good as the post spawn. Thanks for checking out the video Jake.

Forward-facing sonar is a game changer. The only way most of us can do anything even close is to fish near our regular sonar. But I do like traditional fishing and paying attention to the conditions and nature.

[@TheTinHorseMonty]

Well said. You don't need electronics to enjoy nature and fishing. Agree 100%. Sometimes all the latest and greatest can take away from the organic side of fishing. Kind of like an acoustic guitar vs an electric with a bunch of foot pedals and a huge amp....your still playing the same notes. Thanks for checking out the video!

[@gregbrenyo6518]

@@TheTinHorseMonty I like the comparison. I guarantee if I have forward facing sonar it would be exciting and frustrating at the same time. I'm a guitarist myself and I have gone to a minimalist approach. Tube amp turned up to 11 and the only effect I use is a Reverb pedal. Best thing you can do is use your volume and tone knobs.

[@TheTinHorseMonty]

@@gregbrenyo6518 Forward Facing Sonar is eye opening but it can eat up a lot of time. Figuring out how to work it into the program is key. I'm a bass player. One of my favorite bass players, Joe Dart(Vulfpeck) has a signature model bass with a single volume knob. LOL. So much of the tone is in the fingers. I've been teaching my daughter to play acoustic guitar.

[@gregbrenyo6518]

@@TheTinHorseMonty that's true there's probably a lot of setup involved. On my boat I couldn't run it off the trolling motor it would have to be external. So I would have to get a pole mount to aim the transducer at what I wanted to look at. I have a Jon Boat like yours but not as wide. My trolling motor is off to one side of the boat. You're right about tone 100%. The pickups and the amplifier do their job passively. It's up to the player to play the instrument and add their tone. I sound like me and no one else. Most musicians would be surprised on how touch sensitive tube amplification can be. Probably less so for bass but different in my case.

[@Winkiedoodles]

Gabe you are having too much fun with your video fishing tech! All that stuff is really working well for you and seems to do everything except hook the fish. Were that lake a bit closer, yours truly would be dropping down on brush piles in an attempt to catch some of those crappie. Really nice lake. Well, we are in for a week or so of 100+ temps but it looks like a little cooler weather will come by the end of the month. The grass is getting crispy around here. Have a great week, Don

[@TheTinHorseMonty]

It's opened up a whole new world. If you ever make it this way let me know. I'm ready for a heat break!!!!!!

[@tonygreen4356]

Really like the on the water tutorial, keep up the good work.

[@TheTinHorseMonty]

Appreciate it Tony🤜

[@careyfaulkner7293]

Great video....what lake is that..

[@TheTinHorseMonty]

Thanks Carey. Lake Y 😊

[@martywilhelm9700]

I enjoy your videos I like how you explain how you do things a lot of KZbin channel all they do is fish and then tell you nothing I appreciate what you do I would like to see a breakdown of your boat.

[@TheTinHorseMonty]

Thanks Marty. Appreciate it. I’ll do a boat breakdown soon. Great idea.

[@codydulmes804]

Great on the water tutorial! Its really nice how you showed us what you were looking for and how you approached it, great video!

[@TheTinHorseMonty]

Thanks Cody. I’m finally getting comfortable enough with LiveScope to share what I’ve been learning. Hope your tournament went well.

[@codydulmes804]

@@TheTinHorseMonty That LiveScope definitely is sweet. The tournament was good the first morning and then everything shut down for the rest of the day and weekend. There was way to many boats on such a small body of water. After almost every single spot was fished at, nothing would bite the rest of the tournament. Great experience and was definitely a lot of fun spending that time with my father. Finally found the 2 graphs I had on backorder at a dealer on my way to the tournament. I was able to hook up the bow graph and use that which definitely helped a lot versus no graphs at all!

[@scottbee501]

Your absolutely correct. Years ago I didn’t have electronics so I positioned sideways off a point near deep water (used a weight with rope to measure depth) at Little Grassy Lake and slaughtered them with a Carolina rig.

[@TheTinHorseMonty]

Old school baby. I need to fish Grassy again. It's been several years.

[@ryanvarner6520]

Gabe, I can see you're putting that German to good use!

[@TheTinHorseMonty]

Trying to learn it. Frustrating sometimes!!

[@tonygreen4356]

Needing a partner for the Lake Ozark Wed / Thru nighters , 6:30-10:00, Gabe can you make the drive?

[@TheTinHorseMonty]

I appreciate the offer Tony but it’s a 4 plus hour drive for me. I’m not 21 anymore 😁. Good luck out there.

[@jerryg957]

Wish this heat wave would break, can't fish in this heat, not 21 anymore lol......

[@TheTinHorseMonty]

I hear ya Jerry. It's tough out there!

[@billyhaney5002]

Good vid , great information. Your starting to get you live scope down , technology changing so fast , HB has target lock now. First time you have been on that lake that someone has nor gone between you and the bank. Thanks for sharing.

[@TheTinHorseMonty]

Thanks Bill. I've been practicing with the Scope. Eye opening. I catch about 1% of the fish I see. That lake is notorious for getting cut off!

[@mikedaley2882]

I live on table rock and fish alog. I went out yesterday to specifically try to catch them on a big bull worm. U ever been able to catch them on it? Not me. They'd eat a jig , cr, drop shot and shake head but not the bull worm. Just curious

[@TheTinHorseMonty]

I think the best time for a big straight tail worm is the post spawn. The fish put the feed bag on. Fall is another good time. I've caught a few on it but honestly haven't used it a lot. There's a big straight tailed worm made by Huskey Outdoors that has been good lately. Also, Hawgz Custom Baits makes a 6 1/4" and 7 1/4" straight tail worm that works great. I've had to downsize, like you, the last few trips to get bites.

[@myopinion8090]

Are you running a 10 or 12 Garmin

[@TheTinHorseMonty]

10.

[@dennisd6180]

Another great video. Looks like your getting live scope mastered. Looks like side image and live scope is way to go. I haven’t made jump to live scope yet. Well done instructions. Tnx for sharing

[@TheTinHorseMonty]

Thanks Dennis. LiveScope is a lot of fun. I'm learning as much as I can. Just getting comfortable with it.

[@reaffirmation]

Slow? That's probably more bass than I've caught in a lifetime.

[@TheTinHorseMonty]

LOL. Thanks for checking out the video Jim.
