Gene, Thanks a lot for the video... This was the video that help me to understand my navionics mapping when I got my new lowrance... The difference from knowing where to start and find fish was almost instantaneous instead of just going directly to the bank...

Gene thanks so much for these informational videos. I have watched dozens and as a beginner lake fisherman I'm finding it hard to find fish, and I live 15 minutes from Clarks Hill so thats where I fish. Everyone is telling me fish points, but I never knew what I was looking for after piddling for a year I'm catching bass but they are small in size and it may be half dozen bag per outing. After watching all these different informational videos I'm going to apply it to my approaches and hopefully I'll be able to find more fish and sizeable fish! And tips would be greatly appreciated and keep the videos coming! Thanks!!!

Your welcome! I do have a question though. I'm a bank fisherman and most of the public fishing spots on my lake here in WI have huge flats with rocks and patches of weeds. I can feel them with my square bill when I'm fan casting and I can picture these structure when im burning my square bill. How would you fish these flats post spawn, depth is about 2-7ft. Every time I go out I would sometimes run my square bill, and bounce it off rocks, stir the bottom, sometimes up and over the weeds, and around. I'll get short strikes some times, like a surprise attack. Then no bites after I miss them. What would you recommend as a follow up bait? What would you have used as instead of a sq bill?

This is great stuff. As always, you speed up the learning curve. I was wondering if there was anyway that you would do a video where you dissect an actual lake map by the seasons showing an area that would be ideal for pre-spawn and spawning and summer and winter? Specifically, addressing the issues of: "here is an attractive spawning flat on a map, here is where the pre-spawn areas are to get to this spawning flat, here is where the fish using this spawning flat might summer and winter". The identification of these areas would be great, but some dialogue that explains why would be really helpful as well. Overall, this video is helpful and the additional would be really helpful. I have tried this on my own, but seeing you do this would help build some real confidence. Your videos are great and they are really helpful. I am a huge fan.

Below are the questions. Points - Carolina Rig, Crankbaits, Jig, Spinnerbait Humps - How do you fish it ? Blow Through/Saddles - How do you fish it ? Creek Channels - How do you fish it ? Pocket/Cove - How do you fish it ? Flats - Crankbait, Spinnerbait, Carolina Rig, or something you can hit the stumps with Secondary Point - How do you fish it ? Bluff Wall - Dropshot or something like that Ledges - How do you fish it ? Road Bed - How do you fish it ?

I don't really have a favorite lure. If I'm having trouble catching fish I usually go to small worms on light tackle and then cover as much water as I can until I find them. Then I slow down and fish that area thoroughly.

was wondering if you would be willing to break down a map for me. I would be willing to mail it to you. I want to be able to identify every point every secondary point. any flats and saddles.i just would love to see what you see on the map and why. this would be a great learning experience. I'm still trying to understand where fish are holding structure lol. I fly fished for years and just followed a hatch chart and matched the hatch. but I haven't figured out how to match the hatch from this angle cause I'm using primarily large swim baits now. of course I see that bass are primarily feeding on shad and blue gill and I match those with my swim baits. any insight you could share with me is greatly appreciated. thank you sir for the educational videos.sincerelyDon greene
