Tips for Finding and Catching Smallmouth Bass on New Water

[@connorhunnicutt5462]

Me sitting in school waiting for a fishing channel to upload. Thankyou for uploading wired to fish. You saved me👏🏻

[@Wired2Fish]

Right on! Study hard Connor and retire early! Thanks for watching.

[@BostonFenian]

These videos are great but it would be nice to see some that give strategies to anglers with access to a boat but no electronics. What terrain features to look for, how to scout the fishery from google earth and underwater topographical maps (and where on the internet to find them), what exactly you're looking for when you do so, etc. Tactical Bassin just uploaded a video along those lines but I'd like to see y'all's touch (plus your videos are a lot shorter and to-the-point lol).

[@Wired2Fish]

Good feedback direct action. Noted and we'll consider that for a future video.

[@jonc.5310]

​@@Wired2Fish that ever come to fruition?

[@jesseshumaker2718]

$150k later on a boat, electronics, ehlers mind/experience :), and yur onto a 3lber. I'm in :)

[@robertbiddle3930]

Summary:. Spend $20k on electronics to find them for you. 👌🏻

[@donavonmaddasion341]

thats not how it works. even with electronics you have to know what your doing. they don't just appear when you have 20k in graphs

[@Nwvibes42]

So basically I’m out of luck finding fish in a new lake unless I have a 5k of electronics haha

[@DividedWeAllFall]

Unfortunately that's probably closer to 15-20k in electronics. Lol

[@burdettehoeppner1062]

Great video on how to use your depth finders on new lake. Great info.

[@jamesbarron1202]

You can ship me one of those sonar units and it'll help with your pinging problem.

[@Gstar5150]

I've been wanting to try eating a Smallie, I've had Largemouth before and I love those too yet I've heard Small mouth taste even better.

[@davidtreichler8036]

Great information 👍🎣

[@raymondmiller6432]

Great tips I have to pay more attention to my electronics.

[@twopassionsfishing386]

Great video friend

[@johnbennett7244]

Great video. Thanks.

[@Wired2Fish]

Appreciate it John. Great having Brent on the channel!

[@stevegerber835]

What it you don't have 10,000 of electronics, then what do you do????

[@davidwalker7383]

You enjoy the sport of fishing...that's what do. This style (in the video) of fishing has no sport to it at all. What fun is it to know where everything is. It takes the best part of fishing out the equation...the surprise of the thump.

[@tomselick6983]

Looks like my boat with the apple monster on deck 👍👍

[@AtanasDimitrov954RR]

How is this fishing? All ur doing is seeing where the fish are and casting to them. I think that's cheating. I want see this guy catch fish without any FF

[@buddytrent1351]

Go get one don’t be a hater that’s what we’re doing we’re spending our money to catch fish

[@arensenfishingandoutdoors6766]

Awesome video

[@Wired2Fish]

Appreciate the comment Arensen Fishing and Outdoors

[@Mavejar520]

What sunglasses are those

[@stevebusch6896]

So basically if I have panoptics I can catch smallmouth gotcha..

[@somthegreat7430]

I think this is one aspect of technology that doesn't improve the sport. The sonars are so advance it no longer takes skills to find the fish. My cousin runs a bass league with about 35 teams and this year they took AOY. They normally placed top 10 the past few years but you know what the difference was? They bought the whole shabang with the live scope 360.

[@Gstar5150]

What do you mean, I'm sure Christ and Simon Peter would of loved to have one of those little numbers on their sailboat. Me personally I'm a bank fisherman I got Sonar in my brain, I can map out the bottom just by seeing how long my bait falls in different areas. Then I form a mental map over time relating to the depth charts I constantly study, also feeling out the bottom with a jig and knowing exactly where your brush piles and rocks are helps a lot too. Slip bobbers help alot too for beginners it's the best way to map out the bottom without a depth chart from the bank.

[@roosterboy7357]

Tip number one, have a lot of money and equipment. End of lesson

[@FishingThePNW]

0:52 - 1:02 = reversed footage lol.

[@Wired2Fish]

Good eye! But it made our point (minus the backward swimming fish) 😂.

[@Arcflash207]

Just turns into a 14 minute panoptix ad...

[@Wired2Fish]

If you're into technology, this is an excellent overall tutorial on taking an analytical approach to breaking down new water and catching fish. Electronics are now very much tied to presentation for those that embrace their use.

[@Arcflash207]

@@Wired2Fish I get it, I have a lot invested in my electronics like many do. Didn't mean to bash but I felt that the video got a bit off track. Keep up the great content though guys, been a viewer for a long time.

[@gpharned]

We got free advice from a professional fisherman. Advice and preferences on Line size, hook size, reel size, Fish habits, tip on approach, search etc. Excellent video! Thanks

[@fauzanfishing2404]

God Mr👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@shootincoyotes]

Fish swimming backwards @1:00

[@pabl6489]

Wheres the challenge with panoptics? Its like shooting fish in a barrel.

[@bobthomas8342]

There is no piece of equipment that guarantees success. Panoptics is pretty amazing, but it still requires knowledge to know where to search, interpret what you're seeing, and know what to throw to get them to bite.

[@johngill9071]

okay mr KVD. I dont see you catching 10 pounders on the daily

[@Reginald-m6z]

So basically I need $10k-15k in electronics to find fish. Got it

[@Howwerelivingfishing]

11:44 here I am using 15 lb braid lol 😂

[@Offthegridfishing]

So this is only for people with electronics and tons of money .thanks

[@GenoGalfidiFishing13]

ion know but tons of money it's js what u choose to spend ur money on i'm 14 all my money goes to fishing and i don't make alot working but i still have lots of nice graphs

[@marioavena3926]

Brasil Aki amazing vídeo

[@TylersReelFishing]

All these comments about fishing technology being too advanced🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️

[@jakevillaret]

Tyler! One of my faves. I don’t even have electronics yet but I find myself watching videos on how they work so I know what I’m doing when I finally get them lol they’re confusing to read if you’re not familiar with them.

[@Wired2Fish]

We respect and understand anglers' being on both sides of the fence with technological advancements in fishing. Individuals choose how they want to participate. There are no stopping technology developments in any endeavor, and this W2F staff embraces it. We view fish finder technology as a means to get kids off the couch and into a boat -- a kid in a boat/outside with fish finder and fam/friends is a much-preferred alternative to a kid on the couch starring at a smartphone. Conservation needs to be a central conversation in lockstep with tech, though, cause catch rates increase for anglers that use and are competent on sophisticated fish finder technologies. A meaningful discussion; appreciate you guys chiming in.

[@davidwalker7383]

Sorry...but this isn't fishing. No sport to this style at all. Lame!!!

[@Wired2Fish]

It's all a matter of opinion and fishing styles. We respect your position. As content and marketing folks, we also respect the technology as a means to learn more about the underwater world. With it, can come more fish catch success, and also a need to engage in more aggressive selective harvest. We have computers in our pockets these days -- the tech trend in society isn't going away. Moreover, modern fish finder electronics are going to be an important draw to get kids off of gaming consoles in the house and out on the water. This sport needs licenses sales now and in the future to support angler access and fisheries management. It's our position that technology will help angler recruitment. Again, we do respect that it's not in line with your fishing style.

[@jeffreymoon9098]

Agreed. This is cheating with thousands of dollars of premium hardware, software, and a taken all the outdoorsiness out of fishing. We need less of us in our lives.

[@geneparmesan3595]

Soon we will be seeing wired2fish vids w titles like,, "how to cast!" or "how to reel". Snap out of autopilot fellas

[@Wired2Fish]

Not sure what you mean here. The content is too basic? We do out best producing diverse content across the country and with a range of pros staff and enthusiast anglers at a tempo of 4-5 new original videos per week. Our staff worked hard creating this free content so we appreciate thoughtful constructive criticism should u have any.

[@jakeseymour1213]

That reel sounds like a helicopter

[@lunkerer]

Salesman 👎

[@scooterwilson1776]

Make it harder and not use a fish finder

[@NytronX]

Why use a boat, that's cheating too. Shore fish only?
