  1. Great follow up to ffs and you charts break down of finding fish. I bielieve navionics charts (now own by Garmin) is my best investment to break down a lake to fish worth every penny. Not only for navigation but to find fish before going. For me it beats the investment in ffs but am sure they would work well together. Because i can only afford one charts is my choice to put me on fish. Can always get back to my hot spots on all my lakes.Yes live discussion would be very cool.

  2. Love the topic, listened to every word. Have the same wonders. I can give you a couple of different experiences I've had in my club tournaments. Our regular season is 3 hour evening tournaments. I often practice the week of and try to find where I'm getting the bites. I've found that I try to do the same thing you mention when practicing…find areas. The tournaments I have done best in, I've picked certain areas apart. Like through a couple hundred yard stretch go back and do it again and repeat until the time runs out. That said I've had polarizing opposites in the last two end of the year two day tournaments. Which leads me to wonder and hind site the heck out of them. In both tournaments I spent 3 days practicing. The first year, practice wasn't great. Did figure out a pattern but was not on big fish by any means. Day one of that tournament I find a couple decent size fish in an area. Picking that area apart and I find "the cast" which has me in first place going into day two. First thing in the morning, head back to the cast and clean up again. This time within an hour of launching. I fish the rest of the 8 hour day looking for one big bite and never catch another fish. I expanded that cast through the whole area and never caught another fish. Took second in the tourney. This last years big end of the year tournament was quite the opposite. I had found several areas with big tournament sized fish. Each practice day catching a four lber. That's a big fish for Michigan. Had all of these areas marked and had thought for sure the tournament was a lock. Although, I missed a ton of opportunities and there were fish on my spots, day one was horrible with around 9lbs weighed in. Now I'm rambling, I guess in the first one I should have had a backup area or pattern in case. In the second one I had plenty of backup areas and plans and none of them worked. What's the answer? Keep putting out the content I love the videos. If you read all of this, check out my "classic" videos and let me know what you would have done different.

  3. Been fishing 50 years, 56 now… so I'm considered "Old School" This has worked great the last few years.

    Fish fast moving baits
    Always watching sidescan
    If no bites or sidescaned fish…. move after 15 minutes.
    Return to an area if fish are caught fast… then fish medium/slow.
    Rotate through the better areas because bite windows do exist.

    I use to fish local/regional derbys 25 years ago. Just fun fish today…. but fish like I'm practicing. Map study and Google Earth Pro is my Winter past time.
    Always enjoy your vids, thanks for your time.

  4. Thanx Tyler. I have all the answers for you. THERES NO HARD RULES. Your brain is like a computer and has input data thrown at it while fishing. Stuff like is there bait fish around, are bass busting, is there wind blowing in, is there still shade, is it a definded area (point, drop off hard bottom, current), past experience of the area, seasonally appropriate. Take in all the input and spit out a answer. It's called educated guess. If that doesn't work for you, reach into your left pocket, pull out a quarter and flip it.
    Good luck buddy!

  5. This is a great topic. I had so many tournaments that at the end I told to myself that I should have stayed at that area for the rest of the day.
    At the same time I had a lot of tournaments that I fished as a rider and my boater caught a lot of fish staying in just 100 yards of shore going back and forth

  6. Would like a live, would be very interesting.
    I am not a tournament angler, that being said, after an area gives up something, i milk it using varying strategies. Slow or fast methods, but decide when it's time to move on rather quickly if that makes sense. Take what I've learned from that area to the next.

  7. I would love if you did a live video. I watch Monsterbass live and its always fun. You have a great following and you do a great job explaining things. I think a live would have a great turn out
