How to Read a Lake Map to Find Fish - Fishing

[@gafisherman2451]

This was one of the best videos I have seen in reference to using maps and contour lines. It makes more sense now. Thank you so much for keeping us educated. It makes fishing a lot more fun. I do try to go out and practice what you teach when I can.

Excellent video Gene! If you are planning on fishing a new lake in the future, it could be a great opportunity to do a similar video breaking down the “high percentage” areas of the lake. Then, either in the same video or a follow up video, show us your day on that lake and any adjustments you made once seeing it in person. Thanks for all the help!

[@jasonc3522]

Thanks for instruction on using the Topo map to narrow down prime fishing locations, and explaining why those areas attract fish.

[@BassGeek]

One of the best lessons anyone can learn especially this time of year.

[@cjdavis1328]

This is one thing that I have struggled with when it comes to finding fish. I live an hour away from Allatoona West point Lake and Lake Wadowee I’ve fished all of them except Allatoona so thanks for showing me where to fish whenever I go there ! Haha

[@darrellwillson5042]

Great informative video. You're a great teacher/instructor Gene. I've gained a lot of knowledge from your channel. Thanks a bunch!

[@grhodes3536]

thanks great video. I really need more of this type of content. Any suggestions of good books or other resources?

[@char-knee496]

This is very helpful I will be trying some of these on our local lakes. Thank you so much. I didn't realize how hush hush the fishing community is. .

[@ericconner5019]

I really enjoy the videos. They help me out a lot. Could you do a detailed video on what y’all mean on finding a pattern or fishing a pattern? Thanks and keep doing what you do.

[@TresSeis]

Excelente explicación de para que sirven los sonares Gene. Nunca me quedo más claro que con este vídeo. Thanks.

[@garyclemons561]

Always enjoy watching your videos. learned a lot form you! THANKS

[@TheGeocampbell]

I learn so much from your videos.thank you very much, I really do appreciate the time you put in them. Really not sure if the boys appreciated the video as I did.

[@tommymckiddy7872]

Looking forward to the next ledge fishing video. It's something I definitely want to learn.

[@OlTommyBoy]

Wow, another really good informative video. Learning tons from you! Thanks!!

[@charleswooten9836]

Man Flukes on the Dead Sea. Fish that lake a bunch since it's right down the road. Great breakdown of the topo map. Thanks for the content.

[@josephkalwara9554]

Great video as always fluke, you should do a video on some common mistakes beginning anglers make as well as novice anglers, also another idea is why it is a good idea to branch out and use baitcasting tackle if yr just getting into bass fishing

[@boolin4955]

Just saw u in your truck in fridley mn. Search you up real quick and subscribed

[@PaHawgn]

hey man, really like your video! exactly the info I needed to here.

[@mattyicee1991]

Thanks. Learned a lot from this video.

[@willbrewer3802]

Great video. I was watching your top water frog only tournament with Jake reminded me of me and my son. also what's on your cap? ez tie?

[@SuperRogue22]

12:50 I couldn’t help, but just laugh out loud 😂. It was so funny.

[@nathanrosbeck8121]

Can you do a video like this on ice fishing?

[@dangerranger6766]

Could you do a video on how to best fish old rock quarrys?

[@LTOutdoors]

Man I needed this video! Thanks & Great info Gene!!

[@bobs.6664]

Great video! Hilarious also with the feet on the left! LOL

[@Flukemaster]

Glad you liked it!

[@kenhays9602]

Does this work with old paper topo maps as well? I'm new to fishing and have been watching your videos for about 18 months and have learned a lot, thank you. Also bought my first boat last year any tips on setting it up so I'm successful hitting the local lakes and rivers. Thanks again

[@Castle8145]

Does any of Lawrence fish finders have that feature so you can make a map of the lake you are fishing thanks

[@HIROX13]

Question on types of lakes. Alpine lakes. i live in Utah and we have some real high altitude lakes here. Are those a unique category of lake? or are those going to be a combo of glacial, crater (both meteor and volcanic) and made by rivers. Does the Alpine part just refer to the altitude.

[@jackmcroberts8306]

Gene Awesome video Thanks for the lesson

[@jasonberger2384]

My home lake! See you at the NOE outdoor expo next month!

[@muze-tessa6938]

Do largemouth hate rocks I feel like grass protects bass from the intensity of the light. Because I find no bass on rocks. I fish crappie and I do what I do and fish rocks tho no bass.

[@jamiehaynes2415]

Great video thank you for all the info

[@WITHINDUSTRIES]

Perfectly clear. Thank you!!

[@kenreilley1434]

Funny you would post this today... I was just on Lake Mohave practicing how to read the points I can see (I don't have a fish finder -- yet!) and using what little I can see from Google Earth to try to extrapolate good fishing spots. Your mapping software would make it a LOT easier, but I'm just starting out and I basically suck at fishing so far -- I'll have to get a lot better before I can earn better equipment :) Thanks for clarifying what I should be looking for. p.s. Do fish finders like your have topo maps for lakes Mead and Mohave? I ask because there's not a lot available for either lake online, and the few apps that are out there show very old, incomplete data. Just curious...

[@jasonc3522]

Check with your state's department of natural resources or fisheries management folks, they usually have Topo maps of the bigger lakes in the state. Minnesota DNR has mapped at least half of the lakes there and I was also able to find waterproof printed maps as well. But that was Minnesota and they are pretty serious about their fishing. Good luck and keep gridding.

[@hiddenf1386]

Good information thanks a lot!

[@Flukemaster]

Glad it was helpful!

[@takeitoutside3849]

Thanks Gene next time you come up to central South Carolina send a message. We can do some fishing.

[@rafabonati7757]

Good mapping instruction. Check on how crater lakes in the Pacific Northwest were formed. Not from meteor strikes. This area is volcanic. The deep lakes formed when volcanoes collapsed and the resulting caldera filled with 💦. Thanks for your good teaching on fishing skills subjects. Keep it up!

[@briandelk6651]

Awesome video fluke ,thanks

[@noahkuboushek8066]

Please do ledge fishing video

[@whennaturecalls8016]

Very helpful, I fish a lot of new water. Ill have to print out some maps from onlince because I dont have fa fish fider. #FishingOnABudget

[@GaryLyson]

Thanks

[@JiggyFishMaster]

Great video!

[@badmonkeyfpv]

Thanks for making this video!

[@RiseUp919]

Man thanks so much for this!

[@HookNReel]

I remember seeing you at a Publix here in Florida and to this day I still regret not going up to you and taking a picture lol. Been a fan for a long time. Would be awesome if you checked out my videos one day

[@Flukemaster]

I hate to hear that. I'm one of the most approachable people that you will ever meet. I think I've seen some of your videos but I'll go and watch some of the newer ones.

[@HookNReel]

That’s awesome man, thank you 🙏

[@geekcop126]

Great video.

[@bassinwithblake3947]

Is that in Virginia

[@WillySnakes]

Have you been struggling at rocky mtn? Or am I just a scrub

[@Flukemaster]

It sucks right now.

[@WillySnakes]

@@Flukemaster thanks for the feedback

[@fishinlikeagirl3197]

Good to know I'm not the only one who can't figure them out at Rocky mountain PFA

[@larsvegas1505]

i like the raymarine graphs... but those bezels though.. wouldve cost them 5 bucks more to put a bigger screen in.. on a unit priced like that... its like there is no competition in fishfinders or consumers are just stupid..

[@Flukemaster]

I kinda agree with you there.

[@timsimpson9831]

Great video Gene. Looks like the boys have heard this speech before,nap time. Lol

[@UnLikeU]

Brother this was a great video. You may convert me from a "DOT CHASER" to a Fisherman... 🤣

[@johnnyappleseed1023]

Glacial lakes are only roughly 10,000 years old, when the last glaciers from the ice age retreated north

[@BucksIsland]

Wait... so structure and cover are the same thing... or not? Just kidding - As always, very informative! Thanks for the info Fluke!

[@FishingFreshies]

SWEET!!!!

[@Mskendy56]

Hey fluke, Just an idea but maybe you could do a playlist on subscribers sending you their lake or fishing spot and you analyze them and say where you would fish and what you might use P.S. some lakes don’t allow boats so we would tell you the restrictions

[@TxTech32]

You sound like Ted Cruz. Has anyone ever told you that?

[@derekgreen9622]

Great video!

[@alexbrooks2397]

Great video!
