Offshore Areas Pros Don’t Want You To Know About | Bass Fishing Map Breakdown

[@LKNDIY]

Fished offshore today at Lake Norman and crushed ‘em using the tips on this video! Thank you!!

[@HaulinBassTV]

That’s awesome!! I fish Mountain Island and Wylie!! Headed to Norman soon!!

[@nathanhershberger1980]

That Jordan lake story was pretty cool.

[@williampinkous1227]

Yes this so true and a very good point on everybody of water. I bottom fish the east coast of central Florida and we call this technique Race Tracking. Well find a nice shelf of hard bottom and there might be a few fish there but when we start doing circles or just zigzags from that point out we’ve almost 80% of the time find a even better spot. It might be a 100 yards from where you started but most of the time it’s not even on your best contour map. Thanks for the great video.

[@poststalone1496]

Had a fun day yesterday. Found a really good hotspot, barely moved all day and caught over 30 fish. Similar situation. Tons of boats on the water, but I had a nothing looking spot, but it had a massive shell bed and some submerged brush. Thanks for the info. Although I want to see your channel blow up, I also like that not many get this same info lol

Best structure fishing content on KZbin.

Facts

[@jordanhardin5670]

When are you going to break down smith mountain lake?

[@jameshageman3167]

Great video, thank you for posting all your information

[@Dmnazdaq]

Great information. Looks like I will need to purchase some LakeMaster maps for my Helix units. Thank you

[@rachel64660]

Thank you for your videos. Since chilling out with the covid and watching your videos I can't wait to use your info. I feel so much more confident

[@jessemoore1733]

Another excellent video Jonny! So glad to see Randy teamed up with you!

[@juddlinette9318]

Perfect timing have a tournament this Saturday and will be fishing offshore

[@kylebarn9389]

Where are you fishing?

[@johncatelli8767]

John I'm in NJ our lakes are small! There's lots of pressure from a ton of very good fishermen. I've been doing just what your saying only problem is 3 or 4 times on a new hot spot an I'm sharing with a group of other boats! Only so many spots I can find in a season! It's getting harder to find these fish. God I hate me some binoculars! 😆

[@DHW448]

Your videos have really been helpful for me. I've just got back into fishing after 20 years. I also just bought my first lake boat. I grew up fishing ponds and creeks. I want a breakdown of Caddo lake all seasons. I live 30 minutes from it and never been able to fish it in my 2-man pirogue. I'm rural and don't have steady internet. So I can't do a one on one. P.M. me. Thanks Jim

[@myriammorrison9840]

Thank you for the videos. All are well put together. The information is current and not the same old myths. Great Job!

[@wired4fishing690]

I struggle so much today on the water doing the things you told me to do I graph forever an just couldn't find them I should have tried this on the natural lake I was fishing today

[@theghastlygamer5326]

Ok, here is probably a stupid question but here goes. I watch these videos and learn a lot. I can find offshore structures and the like. My question is how do you fish them when you find them? I mean physically. When i try to fish i cant stay where i can cast to that area. I think i will be keeping myself in the area but look down and see i have drifted away considerably.

[@luca4741]

Great video. Makes you really think. I'm all about trying to do something different them everyone else. Sometimes that's easy, other times, not so easy. Anyway, I have a question about Side Imaging. We have a Helix 7 on our boat and I was told that if the boat is moving faster then 3mph and your side imaging, your loosing detail so keep it at 3 or under. I was also told not to set the beam distance out more then 60 feet. Anything after that is pointless as the beam strength is not the same after that distance. Finally, I was also told to match your chart speed on your Helix to your boat speed while using SI. Example, if the boat is going at 3mph, chart speed should be at 3?! I always thought to up the chart speed to max on anything that is not a flasher so your picture is as close to live as possible. Thanks for considering on answering my questions.

[@FishtheMoment]

It sounds like you were misinformed in several areas. First, your boat needs to be moving at 3-5mph to get a clear side imaging image. If you are going less than 2.5mph, side imaging is pretty much useless. In terms of your range, it set mine between 60 and 100ft depending on what you’re trying to achieve. Check out my bass fishing electronics playlist on my channel. It explains all of this

[@TheFISHIN14]

I like to look for offshore submerged ponds too on big waters in summertime that hold cool zones at times...your thoughts...

[@sirronbailey3109]

That was a great inside you have just brought my Horizon thanks!!!

[@earlcleghorne473]

Great job as always. I love watching your videos you have taught me a lot you made me think out-of-the-box.

[@areddfishing7473]

Question or rule of thumb? When you say ugly banks are you looking near offshore good spots to find stuff off the beaten path or just random? To make that more specific let’s say you find a point on a channel swing. That is main lake you go up main lake just alittle graphing to find rock piles off the spot or brush etc? Is that how you started or just random and graphed?

[@waterdoglures1352]

Always learning from your videos Jonny. Thanks again! Appreciate all you do.

[@bobly2676]

I love your videos so much, but do you have any tips on how to go about fishing on a kayak without a graph and smaller lakes?

[@edwardcoulier4734]

This is what i do with my vexilar fl-8 and my kayak, you would be suprised at what you can find when ya look. I once found a bunch of beds in 20 feet of water using my aquaview dt-60 and i'll bet not many others know they exist..if any 😊

[@rcrawford1030]

I am looking at buying a Hummingbird Helix 10 Mega SI G@N GPS for offshore fishing. I was wanting to get your feedback on this unit before purchasing?

[@rodw7368]

Johnny will you graph over a spot on a point in let’s say less than 15ft the. Fish it right away or do you normally come back

[@williamstevenson755]

This is great stuff. Thank you! Sounds like you have been reading Buck Perry & Don Dickson’s material.

[@shane31wells]

Can you do a breakdown on weiss lake in north east alabama...first lake on the coosa river chain

[@scottshriver7725]

keep up the good work that was awesome to watch

[@sbaner5]

Hey Jonny, This winter I bought a “new for me” bass boat that came with a side imaging Hummingbird. Ive never used side imaging but felt at least a little better prepared because of you and your videos. I was having problems, however, and was told (and now believing) it’s mostly due to my 5” screen. Is this small electronic going to help me or is it really too small to be of great use for side imaging?

[@x--LeethaL--x]

Good morning. Have a great fish day

[@razorbaits5738]

What does a shell bed look like on a graph?

[@TheTrophyChannel]

What time do you find is best during the summer to start catching bass offshore?

[@holypokey47]

I fished Jordan lake today. Now I’m going to be looking for that log haha.

[@donaldmey2094]

Do you have a lake brack down on big Green in wis. I will be fishing in 2 weeks anything you can do would be Appreciated

[@greg-leftguntersville-ridd9748]

Good luck kayak fishing with Chad 👍👍

[@davidgibson8292]

Good stuff thanks .

[@robertstevens9261]

Please do more Sam Rayburn spots

[@e.butler5903]

How many hours on your motor nowadays

[@badfishingbissanschlagdril3637]

Nice 😎🎣👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@vfpaintjobs]

Hi. How can I get in contact with you are can you give me a call ,I have a tournament coming up and would love your help.

[@bobbyswain7049]

Gold

[@aussiehonchar3606]

This is great but my lake isn’t mapped on anything and I don’t have si

[@danscholes9132]

We need to start sinking a small brush pile each time we head to the lake! Now if only I had a boat..🙄

[@nickfountain8420]

Start with a cheap pontoon. That's what most of the guys making their own brush piles use. I don't fish tournaments, so I dont' care to go through all of that work.

[@CC6_Fanclub_President]

So basically, graph the entire lake lol 😉

[@ballzybaits4414]

we have a lake here that only has no more than 4 arms to it. EVERY fisherman and their momma heads to these areas. I found that fishing the no obvious areas is where the quality fish are at.

[@RetroBassin]

Where bass fishing KZbinrs go to learn how to fish for bass.

[@C.Adams82]

Hidden spots or subtle offshore spots are becoming non-existent largely in part because of you tube. People don't have to put the work in,they can watch videos and someone else can show them what to look for. You can't deny that you tube has contributed to more fishing pressure especially offshore.

[@bucknuts8824]

Please come up and fish salt fork lake in ohio. Graph it and figure it out. I'm willing to pay!!! Just kidding..... but seriously
