After one of your tournaments, do a breakdown of a couple of the spots where you caught them, with video of the fish catches and then a map breakdown on Navionics. And explain why the fish were there and how you figured that out. That would be cool.

[@FishOn1]

Put me down on this one too.

[@donmccutchen8666]

I cannnot express how perfect this type of information is to me. I watch pros say fishing a ledge, trough, hump or what ever, but they don't explain just what they are talking about. Their information is usless to me. Please do many, many more like this. Thank you.

[@dlcook1971]

I would love to see you do a series on a lake (you never fished) from start to fish. Break the lake down like this then go out graph it followed by fishing and results. You just moved so a new lake should be easy to find.. keep up the great work.

[@luisrosario1868]

Mr upshaw sir, im one of those quiet dont comment but always watch and like and im her to tell you thank you for this series of using this trick its awesome keep it up cause i dont know what the names of theses different structures or how they even look like and things like water depth and stuff and please keep doing this im learning alot. The quiet one

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

Thank you for watching my stuff and commenting this time. Means a lot!

[@MountainMenMilitia]

Bro another killer informational video that just changed the way I fish!

[@FishOn1]

Awesome lesson. More like this on breaking down lakes.

[@bobsmith1841]

Video ideas: 1. Basic or advanced netting techniques 2. How to land fish on popping baits(rico preferred) 3. How to adjust when extreme weather makes your spots un fishable.

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

I can probably do these! Thanks for the feedback!

[@jelmo1057]

You provide the details and context that other Pro’s gloss over or totally leave out. Thank you, you are one of a kind in the value of this type of series. Well done!

[@wesleyhughes363]

I am an inexperienced angler and these are the type of videos I learn most from. For me - the most intimidating part of bass fishing is trying to know where to fish and not waste time in unproductive water. These videos at least help with the learning curve. Visually showing what is being talked about is very helpful. Hope you continue with these type of videos. Thanks for sharing.

[@kylecribb5618]

Yes Andrew. More lake breakdown. Thanks

[@guyfaubert1513]

You provide a great mix of content. keep up the good work. love bass cat content.

[@paulbruemmer9629]

GREAT stuff Andrew! I personally enjoy this type of content. Thanks!!

[@gerardcapizzi340]

Good stuff man! Would love to see more on finding fish

[@dhjhawk]

Just do what you do. Love this channel.

[@user-ds8it7nf8j]

Can you do a follow up video of actual on the water footage where you show these areas and while graphing why or why not to fish that area. I can find these spots but have no confidence they are holding fish

[@southerngurlfishing2561]

Please do some videos of finding fish offshore on your graph and how to line up to the waypoint you've marked to cast to said fish

[@khanke978]

Could you do a video on graphing schools and how you set up on them when you find em

[@bobbymason3420]

Great video. You definitely listened to our ideas. I think showing us a spot you pregraph and then going to it showing what graphs show and what structure cover and fish show up as and then follow up with ideas on how you would approach what is on your graph. Again thanks for the work. Your site is one of my go to sites for information.

[@gboboh007]

I always watch and try learning all I can but hardly ever respond other than showing I like the material. As I watched today I was thinking a more explained in depth explanation as to what all the things we’re seeing are such as channels, draws, humps, creeks, etc., what makes up these areas and what they represent would help us understand more of what we’re seeing and how it relates to our trip on the water for that day. I know you touched on it some today but also understanding like the area you went over in this video may not be the area to fish if it’s 95 degrees out and we’re scouting water that’s for the most part, shallow. So helping us understand where we should be thinking about fishing should also play an important part before going to the map I would think. Thanks for all you do. Very much appreciated!

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

I can do that. Thank you for the feedback!

[@shanegreen518]

Awesome video. Thank you and keep up the great work.

[@juanarellano4377]

Lots of good info!! Definitely going to use all of it.

[@dreb3497]

Good stuff! Very helpful. Would not have looked at channel intersections.

[@licojjo]

Thanks for another great video, Andrew

[@MichaelBrown-mi5jl]

Great video and topic! Thx!

[@joshuaellis873]

Thank you so much for this informative video. I have been trying to identify ways to break down my lake since there is not that much cover and would always just go back to fishing shallow. I am going to take this information with me next weekend and see what I can do. Keep it up love the content. More videos like this are extremely helpful

[@rustandodson1146]

Love google earth I’ve used it for a long time and I appreciate the content you provide and some things you bring to light that we normally wouldn’t think about.

[@michaellamb1342]

Another awesome video.

[@dakotatrimble2683]

One of your best videos yet, thanks for sharing. I asked Todd at the classic to do a deep cranking video, I think it would be cool if you did one as well just to see the difference between what you and him might do the same or different

[@michaelwozniak8539]

I know I was subscribed, but after hearing your opening comments, I checked and wasn't subscribed anymore. I am now. I noticed this on several other channels also.

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

KZbin is weird sometimes!

[@cgmc7807]

Good stuff

[@deborahcincotta3600]

ID LIKE TO SEE A VIDEO OF SOME OF THESE AREAS THAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT AND GO INTO SOME DEPTH OF WHAT KIND OF LURES YOU WOULD USE ON THEM AND HOW YOU WOULD FISH THESE BAITS

[@kevinwill8542]

great channel

[@clayosteenyoutube]

Nice

[@arizonabassfishing8839]

Topic suggestion . How to practice for a 1 day tournament when you can only practice the day before. Do you hook the fish pad hooks etc. Always arguing with my team partner on this subject. Thanks

[@jarrett7977]

I would love to see breakdowns of area specific lakes, I live in South GA and fish in South GA/North FL area and a lot of "typical" patterns don't work here. On the flip side of this I would love to learn more about different areas.

[@thefreshestbarber]

Can you do a video on how you approach areas that may be too shallow to graph and what depth is too shallow to graph for you

[@jeepslivin]

I will never leave you andrew. Lol. But would like to see a is on "fishing a tournament" how long to stay in a spot, when to change lures. Whe to make the decision to abandon ship, etc. I get caught in what i think should work and in an area i think shuld hold fish. But with dismall results. And although i had a game plan. It went out the window when things got tough. Help me out.

[@rowdybroomstick1216]

Same here ! I have to cast twice as much as hit twice the amount of spots to even get what other guys I know get in just a few hours, I'm sure it's my fault because I get stuck on something that's not working just because I caught a fish when in reality I should switch up and move possibly at the same time

[@johnm.sawczak8059]

This video made me subscribe. Thank you!! And what psycho would 👎🏻such useful information?!

[@braddistler5697]

I’m Az we have 200’ deep lakes and 100’ within 50yrds of bank lots of times. Today I didn’t catch any above 25’ deep. Top water blow ups with Megabass jerk bait worked great too but have to be fast right on top of them busting. One swim bait bite but mostly drop shot only. Even Texas rig worms didn’t work. Lakes here are hard with no debris under water just clean smooth dirt then rocks that snag every cast. Even the trees deeper don’t hold much fish. Sometimes it’s like they go to 50-80’ here. Just disappear.

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

I could do a video on those type of places

[@markbabcock6708]

Go deeper with Navionics. Put out some technical and rigging info, batteries-wiring-graphs-boat maintenance-trolling motor-trailer. Good stuff.

[@MountainMenMilitia]

Honestly man I would love to know how you'd go about fishing a TVA river arm off of a main lake. What to look for creeks, depth, exc...?

[@jamesmoore464]

I was subscribed. Then I pulled up your video today and it showed it wasn’t… weird.

[@gllyson]

I like breakdown on maps

[@jeepslivin]

I have the app. Its cheap for a year. You can drop pins on locations, pretty good routing(i use it in the la Marsh). Sonar sgading and relief shading. Awesome info for the cost.

[@blazeandbass4886]

Would love to here your opinion on when to target certain cover, such as brush piles, different rock and banks, and talk to us but what time of the year and water temp to be looking at those areas.

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

I’ll see what I can do!

[@lancemabry6707]

Would love to see a breakdown of Cherokee

[@richardpardue7597]

Can you do a video on techniques on skipping baits and equipment needed?

[@craigkellam1580]

Would love to see you break down lower end of lake Cumberland

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

I don’t know if I’m able! Lol

[@chundle09]

More on the water tips

[@drj3033]

It could be the video games . Some ppl only like fishing content .

[@mikewelter180]

Andrew, when your fishing channel swings are you fishing the top of the channel down the ledge or throwing to the bottom and working your way back up the ledge? Thanks for all you do for us!

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

To the bottom and working your way back up. And of course buddy!

[@glennboone7832]

👍

[@justinskyvara5980]

I would like to see some electronic video on finding fish and what they look like or places you would stop and fish and what it looks like.

[@crazygunride]

Fish the moment has a whole series on this.

How to catch bass with live scope in the summer

[@gaylecoffey8014]

I agree, some people are more intuitive to finding fish... But in the same aspect without the internet the younger generation would have more trouble having to do it the old way of trial and error. Because they just wouldn't do it.

[@noahmorgan828]

Can you please just tell me how to practice with my graph I try and try and it hasn’t clicked

[@pastorbillyedgar4986]

Can't see your mouse on my phone so as you go I'm Lost

[@joshuacoggin5665]

Visuals will definitely help your channel. Either behind the computer or on the water is much better than just setting in a chair talking. Don't get me wrong. I love the stories. But just talking is for podcast. Not bashing at all. Just my opinion. If that is worth anything.

[@AllenOutdoors868]

Utube is crazy with subscribers. I will lose 10 in one day and then three weeks later gain 25. Then lose 10 a month later then month down road gain 15. I have no clue what goes on with that

[@mattlane6793]

People could be unsubscribing because the STACHE intimidates them. 🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

[@jerrylanglois7892]

I don't mean to sound like a jerk, andrew, and you're nice to make these videos, but there's way, way, too much talk, too much '' teaching '' and no real catching. Anybody can pick out potentially good '' structural features '' on a contour map, it's catching fish off them that give them real significance. Come on, andrew, get in the boat and show us your stuff.

[@bobsmith1841]

I disagree with you 100%. Book work and basics are a key part in becoming a master at any subject. Not everyone starts with the same experience level. "Showing" how to catch is only part of the learning process...

[@jerrylanglois7892]

@@bobsmith1841 I agree with you, you have to have a foundation, the basics to learn properly, but five minutes of the video catching two or three of those good-sized '' structure bass '' would be not only more entertaining but more convincing as well, to me anyway.

[@bobsmith1841]

@@jerrylanglois7892 he's a bassmaster elite pro, how much more convincing do you need? He could show you ever fish he's caught in the last 10 years, it would still be up to you to catch them on your own..

[@jerrylanglois7892]

@@bobsmith1841 Well, seems to me, an '' elite bassmaster pro '' should be able to go out in the boat and catch a few. Talk is cheap.
