The Most Important Video About Offshore Bass Fishing You Will Ever Watch (Probably…)

[@jayvang33]

Thank you for your hard work, visuals and graphics. A lot of KZbinrs just talk and explain, assuming that people know what they mean. But you take it to another level so it’s much appreciated.

[@gregstabryla9945]

NOBODY else explains things the way you do. Content is A one. Keep it up Jonny.

U MAKE THE BEST VIDEOS

[@leftykelly3944]

I just discovered your videos. You do very good presentations. I hope to learn a lot that will help me get better on my home lake, Falcon Lake, TX.

[@waterdoglures1352]

Excellent video Jonny! Thanks for sharing your expertise.

[@agentwynnoutdoors]

You put me in a tidal water river and I'm good. Put me in a reservoir lake that's deep and I'm so lost. All my bank fishing tricks are useless. Great video. I struggle with these types of lakes

[@timeye7684]

Great video! Will be very similar to catch walleye at least where I live. Fortunately the Indiana DNR has done a pretty good job on stocking walleye on our resivors

[@chrisandcadenh3581]

New to Bass Fishing and this video and chart answers a ton of questions that I had. Thanks and keep up the good work.

While I like the videos with your buddy these type are definitely the best... great video...

[@jersey4755]

Great video as usual, thanks!

[@lureup9973]

When you showed the bass hiding behind the rocks, how would you position the boat?

[@YakBassNC]

If it was me, I’d start in deep water, cast to shallow. If no bites, switch to shallow and cast to deep. Then cast parallel to the drop off before I figure the fish aren’t in a active biting mood.

[@SelectKiko]

Below the rocks, that way you can ambush the bass

[@robpatterson2441]

Another great video, Jonny! Your videos and presentation keep getting better and better. I try to catch everything you put out and greatly appreciate all the hard work that goes into creating all the great content. Keep 'em coming!!

[@danham3344]

Great job Jonny as always! You never disappoint. Thanks for cranking these out.

[@tracywilson5736]

Very helpful info. Thx

[@MichaelJones-bp7tl]

Great video. Now that I know how to determine the water depth to fish based on water clarity I could use some coaching on how to keep my bait in that strike zone. Counting down seems to have a wide margin of error. Suggestions?

[@nathanrohr8117]

Great video I’ve heard about people also finding thermocline using their life scope can you do a video on that

[@colw07]

Hey Johnny, the lake I fish is max 2ft depth by the dam. my friends have been catching em in 20-25ft in the mid lake area-1-2ft visibility max. absolutely blows my mind because I feel like that is way too deep to be looking

[@coloradoelkhunter7367]

Is 2ft deep by the dam a typo? Guessing your friends are fishing main lake points and the water temp is 85 or 90. That will put em deep during the day.

[@joeys7519]

Dude here in CA our lakes our 150 feet, some days you have to go 40 feet

[@colw07]

@@coloradoelkhunter7367 for sure. By 2ft, I mean 2ft clarity-max. Dam is 60-70ft of depth. I was addressing the point of Johnny’s video, which is water clarity’s effects on depth of bass. Edwin Evers, otte Defoe, bass fishing HQ all agree with Johnny’s assertions. The other day it was 15 inches of clarity and wearing em out in 25ft of water. My friend found the fish-he’s 70 years old and knows where to find em. Meanwhile, I address and reference these charts from KZbin folk and am fishing 10-15ft shallower than where the fish are living…

[@FishtheMoment]

Hey Collin. I may have not made it clear in the video, but the chart I showed with the depth ranges by water clarity is just a general rule of thumb when you can’t see baitfish on your fish finder. I have caught bass in 20-30ft of water when the water has 1-2ft of water visibility as well. In those situations, I saw baitfish in 20-30ft of water, so I knew the bass would be there as well. There are no hard rules in fishing when it comes to water clarity. That’s why I started the video explaining that you need to look for baitfish first. If you can’t see or find any, then the chart I made will get you in the right depth zone 90% of the time. but there are always certain outlier situations (the other 10%) when fish will be deeper

[@colw07]

@@FishtheMoment thank you sir for this information and clarification. excellent response and enjoy all of your content!

[@rocketsurgeon1746]

Thanks jonny

[@heinrichkellogg7563]

🍺Well done Johnny.

[@uvlmover]

Great video! Now I have a question. How do you find fish on big rivers like the st Lawrence River? It's crystal clear (50 FT and I can see bottom). No thermocline because it's a river with current and the fish are not feeding on schools of small bait fish.

[@thomaswingfield8738]

When is fishing a loud deep diving crank bait, such as the manns loudmouth applicable?

[@bobadams8358]

Have done a lake breakdown for Eucha

[@High-techRedneckFishing]

Johnny please do a show on the new Hummingbird target lock.

[@maxcole3930]

I'm from OH & moved down to southern SC end of last summer. So I'm learning these herring lakes, it's definitely different but I can always fish up creek arms where seems like a lot of those bass are eating more bluegill, yellow perch, crappie. I love fishing bluegill & perch beds!

[@Jschuhfishing]

Okay, I love the videos.. but the important question is what snacks are you packing on the water? That’s the real thing everyone wants to know!

[@mattfleming86]

I honestly wish I had time to turn some of your more "fundamental and important" slides into PDF's to literally print out, laminate, and put in a binder. If a job site needs MSDS.. a boat needs a "bass catching rules" binder.

[@geraldpaben7344]

Still waiting patiently for sonar guides for older hummingbird 899 and 999 , the ones you used for years and a lot of us still do

[@jeufuyang6261]

When will you come out with settings on the gen 4 helix ? And I thought gen 3 and gen 4 are pretty much the same since they use the same transducer and also same mega imaging.

[@mayachapman1744]

SCHOOL IN SESSION 💪🍺🔥🔥🔥

[@mattmason9688]

I have an hds7. Which sonar guide should I purchase? It’s not the live or the elite series

[@magic2066]

great vid, thx for sh.

[@pauly8118]

Are these depths to the bottom of the lake or do you mean I should target the bass at those maximum depths even if the bottom of the lake is way deeper?

[@bucknuts8824]

Is this a tried and true method, and how far alart do the bass and bait fish need to be for this to work? I don't know how Muddy water Bass have any clue where bait fish might be out in the middle of the lake?

[@markedward2987]

Cold water can hold more dissolved O2 than warm water.

[@freedomhard2310]

Everything is based off using a fish finder or graph anymore. Little tougher when you don't have one

[@charlierahner2141]

It's not necessary true that there is little oxygen below the thermocline in the summer. Some ultra clear reservoirs/lakes have well oxygenated water all the way to the bottom in over 100 ft of water well below the thermocline - and fish will live there in the summer.

[@FloridaRaider]

random thought.. curious as bottom dwellers if catfish require less oxygen

[@joegrande4848]

I don't use fish finders. I watch the video though for information even though I don't have a fish finder. I fish from the shore but if I did fish from the boat I still wouldn't use a fish finder. I've learned other methods to find fish without a fish finder. Fishing fast using 1 cast 1 bait for say 4 minutes. Switch bait if you get no reaction from bait. After fishing 1 cast per area switching baits an you fished fast a lot of areas with a lot of baits you haven't got bites go down to last area you haven't covored fish that last area slow. If even from switching baits every 4 minutes in a lot of areas after you fish the last are covored going slow to moderate pace. Then after you fished that last area that wasnt covored prevously, then go back to areas you had no bites you fished go moderate to slow. Sometimes going moderate to slow going back to areas you fished later you may get bites. Fish that weren't there earlier as u did 1 cast an retrieve switching rods with different baits every 4 minutes going moderate to slow over those same areas you did later you mat have luck. Yes this is an extensive method an does take a lot of time. Also if say after 1 hour covering a lot of area using 1 cast 1 retrieve an switch poles with different baits an u covor a lot of water sometimes its better to just find a new body of water an repeat process. 1 cast an retrieve switching poles with different baits every 4 minutes. If you decide to stay an re fish areas you already fished going moderate to slow switch poles with different baits every 4 minutes that's up to you.
