When bass are feeling pressure, they do this almost all the time. Look for these types of locations on your lakes and rivers to find bass when they seem to disappear from the shallows. Actual footage that you can learn from underwater.

Solid information as always Steve and it's much appreciated
99% of boat anglers in my areas are very dum and I love that. They position their boat 5 feet away from cover and cast 5 feet away from their boat. As a shore angler I’m catching fish under their boat.
Great info, thanks!
Wow! That makes a lot of sense. I over think a lot and I know to do this. Then I spend to much time shallow. This year I started doing this earlier and have caught so many more fish. Good to know I’m on the right track.
Great explanation. I fish a lot of shallow, marshy water where it's often very flat. When the bass are getting pressured near the bank, they will often retreat only 20-30 feet to some eel grass, kissimmee grass, or reeds nearby where they can get more cover.
I think that a lot of times this is where bank anglers have an advantage because as boaters, we tend to have that trolling motor kicked on high and covering water; making pitches and casts until we get a bite to start working an area thoroughly. I feel like bank anglers will usually make more casts from one spot before moving on.
I love the underwater footage you show us Steve along with your explanations on what is going on sub surface. I have been fishing a little deeper this year and trying new baits. The East Tennessee lakes get hammered all the time. I have had better success off those edges. Its great to see underwater. Thanks again for all you do.
Thank you for always giving us nice video and good explanation.
Question : are fishing with same lure in the second edge that you use in the first edge?
Good point. I tend to forget it
Your knowlege backed up by the underwater footage is invaluable, thank you for continuing to share ur skills with us… congrats on the continued growth of the channel…
Thanks Steve ! ⬆⬆
Hey Steve, love the content buddy… l figured you were talking about fishing pressure. I just wanted to make sure you weren't talking about atmospheric. ..
Steve, question. I wade for bass. What do you do when the bass hits your bait two feet from you? Do I let him run? Do I horse him in? I lost so many giants. Please help! LOL
Nice one Steve 👍
In addition to this great info, as I am a 1yr in angler. Last year, I was fishing by chance. What I mean by that is, I would go to a location/spot/area that I thought might hold fish but only would cast a few times. I’m not sure if this is actually considered “power fishing” as I don’t think I actually gave an area a chance, even if I catch a fish there. I’m wondering if you could answer this or maybe on another episode: how long do you stay at a spot/area/location prior to moving to the next? I realize this is my goal this year but also don’t want to overdo it to a point that I am missing out finding a pattern. Thanks again. – Born Again Angler
Edges are the key to finding bass period.
This is gold! Thanks!!

You….you….you are good.
Steve you really have identified an invaluable niche. We’ve all had these hunches that what we think we know isn’t quite right. Thanks for tapping into that. Keep up the great work.
Spot on knowledge. Weekend pressure is far greater than ive ever seen. With the wed thurs fri afternoon tournaments going all year now in any larger body of water im starting to think maybe we should reconsider a tournament season or an off limits time for the fish to not be harrassed. How many are we hurting. I know its not a popular subject Steve but the fish cant speak for themselves. Catch and release has helped now what else can we as sportmen do

Hey, Steve, pray u are well. Hope it is warming up for u. Thanks for the great info, as always
