Low water can come about for a number of different reasons. Maybe you are experiencing a drought in your area or maybe the Corp Of Engineers is bringing the lake down for the winter.
Regardless of the situation the bass are typically going to act similar. There are a few areas that I really love to focus on which include shallow water and offshore areas.

#5 Photos, NO! Years ago I stopped at a boat ramp near a bridge and I was taking pictures of exposed cover due to the water being low. I probably took 50 pictures, there were a LOT of stumps and laydowns exposed. When I got back to the vehicle my wife (Not a fisherman) asked what I was doing? I replied taking pictures and her comment was WHY? She pointed out to me that maybe the picture I took wasn't in focus? She asked wouldn't it be easier just to video? I Love Her! Yes! Not only would I be able to see the stump I was photographing/video but maybe there was a boulder there too? I could play the video back which showed the entire shoreline. I could stop the video and capture 1 frame? In a video you have literally hundreds of frames/pictures! So I would suggest changing #5 to shooting a short video? Great video, keep up the great work. GOD Bless

Are you from Kentucky? I noticed the Dale hollow lake map, one of my favorite fishing spots
i lived in Williamsburg, VA and the James and York are tidal
you need to know where those fish go or your not catchn em
My man, dropping some knowledge. I greatly appreciate it. Going tomorrow to Sinclair in GA, but are Temps supposed to drop 15 degrees tonight…sfter all this rain.. not looking good.
Thanks for all you're videos.
Best of luck always.
Another good informative video.. The small tip as all add up.. 👍👍.. The Frye Guy
Scouting structure when water levels are low is a great tip. So much easier to find fish in regular conditions if you know there is something down there for the fish to hide in
Good stuff👍
Prefect timing. My local reservoir is being drained, just in 2 trips I've found bass where they normally don't reside. I'm guessing it's due to the thermocline when the lake is up. And now they can't hide in the EXTREMELY thick lillies because that's dry now. They also seem to be more aggressive when I fight them. Our lake is SUPER murky, like maybe 4 inches visibility. I think the oxygen levels are pretty low usually, so now that the water is low is almost like they are in a panic fall frenzy. Idk, maybe it's just me.
Thanks, another interesting topic, and delivered so well.
Thank you great information and video 📹 👍
I'm in Kansas lately I've been catching most in shallow water 2 feet deep catching alot. Also for smallies fishing shallow to 6 feet.
The Photo point is a very interesting Idea. A suggestion; for those of us without a GPS, make sure in your photo to include a key terrain, so you will be able to locate the exact spot when the water level comes back up. I don't always get phone service at some of the lakes I fish.
Always great information
nice tips. the bad thing where i moved to near kentucky lake. there doesnt seem to be bluff walls. which i loved at castaic in california.
What If your lake is down over 50ft and is at 6%?? (I'm from central Cal)
Great video! I learned a couple of things to try next time I have low water on my home lake.
This is the content I come to YouTube for 🙌🏻
that's good info, thanks!
Awesome video dude. You see when I go fishing on my Army Base here in Kentucky. I have Army Helicopters nearly skating the water….LOL
Always appreciate your content, thanks for helping me through my first 6 months of bass fishing
Great points. Being as I fish from the bank, I have to kind of work an area and feel for structure or depth changes as I go.
The last point is the most important! Know what you’re casting at
what lake is this?
You have to figure what that plane is and why they are always interrupting you. Great Vid though. Most of the lakes in California are in this right now.
Great video!! Definitely hitting home with me here in east TN
Thanks once again for the information.
