This video explained several terms I wasn’t sure about plus ledge fishing is something I haven’t been able to get my head around. This was very helpful. Thank you.
Tim... Great video... one request... in addition to what you covered in terms of fishing spots and topography, could you also explain how you fish these areas when you are doing it... do you fish/cast parallel to the drop off or perpendicular to it... how you approach the spot and start and move from there. You hit on it a little but would be interested in more details. Thanks and great job as always.
Great suggestion, might I add.. during a how to attack these spots vid, explain what is too deep to fish as well… as I have heard you can injure/kill fish if you pull them out of deep water..(sry, this was a good suggestion and I wanted Tim to touch on this as well)
Hey Tim excellent video I would love to see some more of these videos. Incredible what you can see on those electronics. Please do another video like this. I can't believe you can look for places to fish at home pretty awesome. Thanks again and God bless you and your family.
I like how Tim is able to overlay his sonar image on the video it really makes it easy to see what he's talking about. And please come to the northeast
There’s so much good information in this video!! Thank you Tim for a great video!!!👏🏻👏🏻 I was wondering if maybe y’all could do the same type of video for natural lakes? Down here in NE Florida our lakes are pretty featureless and it’s seems like nobody ever makes videos on how to fish those types of lakes. Our lakes aren’t that deep and don’t have the contours like other lakes. it would be awesome to see how y’all breakdown a natural lake and show where’s good places to start and how fish move in lakes that aren’t in highland or lowland reservoir or river systems.
Those look like crossties I found some just like that on Guntersville in the mouth of Short Creek. It wasn't a train track but a trolley system to take goods from the Top of Sand Mountain to load on a barge in Short Creek.
Awesome info, but them weird structures could be old gardening beds since moving to Tennessee. I've learned most of our lakes are highland reservoirs before the daming there used to be a lot of communities, just a possibility... Great upload, Tim
Wish I could post pictures here!! Caught an 8lb bucketmouth with the Dirty Jigs 3/8 oz jig (Go-To) and Reaction Innovation Sweet Beaver (Tramp Stamp) trailer……these guys are the best!!!! ❤❤❤❤
Thanks Tim. I would love to see what a 'ditch' looks like, please. And how to set up & fish one. What is the difference between a ditch and a saddle? Thanks.
A ditch is usually, but not always, an old creek bed or drainage that runs across a relatively flat portion of the lake bottom. A lot of times you'll find them running across shallow flats. They're not very pronounced much of the time, and often they don't show up on the map cards because the depth change is less than the contour interval (depth change between contour lines) of the map. Locating ditches on a large flat is where side imaging really shines.
Building my 1st boat right now. Gonna be a huge learning curve operating my 1st bow mount and a tripleshot at the same time. Pollyanna just leave it in 2D till I learn the foot pedal lop
Very good video and I'm pleased with how much I really knew, but my biggest problem is knowing where to exactly where to cast when I see fish on sonar or down imaging, help
Hey Tim if your s.s was set at 150' and you were in 30' of water you were s.s. out to 120' correct? Did you only have 2 custom depth colors set red for 0-5' green 15' -20? Thanks for sharing very helpful.
According to Navionics Web App there are three submerged bridges in that arm. I think you may have been going over the footings for one of those bridges.
Tim, what exactly is a "shell bed" and what's it look like? I'm from California and I'm not sure if it's really a thing out here, but I hear the term all the time.
I have smart strike chip and my helix doesn't look like that Can you tell me the exact chip you are using Also can you show how to transfer waypoints from Google earth to the unit Hummingbird has some moves on the computer that I am not understanding Thanks in advance
Any recommendations for the bank guys who still want to know what the bottom looks like? Can those navionics cards go in a handheld gps or similar device? I know there are some mobile apps (Fishbrain using a navionics product for one) as well but personally I’m not a huge fan of that one so I’d be interested in suggestions.
How do you do this at home? I was told not to run the transducer out of water but idk how to turn the transducer off. Sorry just got my first boat a month ago.
Go to systems and turn on disable transmission, that will turn off the transducer, go to maps and look around, just remember when you fish again to enable sonar transmissions.
The transducer might overheat. You can select the "Stop Sonar" option to disable the transducer if you're doing map study on the unit while you're not on the water.
I’m not sure how to upload chip info onto my sonar, not really any videos out there showing how to. Just don’t wanna waste money on something I can’t upload
Tactical Bassin' Mondays are the best. Been waiting three whole days to feed my addiction. Let's go!
Man. I love these guys. Clock work. Waiting for the next thanks for the hard work and info

I have been fishing for 60 years. Always a little nugget and reminders 😊
This is the best ledge explanation video I've ever seen!

Man I'm so glad you guys done this video! Just bought my first hummingbird 9" mega and needs to say it a big learning curve! Thanks guys!!!

👏👏Thank you Tim,that was INCREDIBLE ❤👍

Excellant information. You all do a good job explaining electronics and mapping
Excellent explanations!!
Been waiting for this seasons electronics video 📹
good explanation of these areas, hoping for more forward facing sonar videos when you get the chance, thanks !!
Those look like crossties I found some just like that on Guntersville in the mouth of Short Creek. It wasn't a train track but a trolley system to take goods from the Top of Sand Mountain to load on a barge in Short Creek.
One of the best videos y'all have done in my opinion thanks really learned a lot
Ideas for next time... rock piles and dock pilings. Great video very informative.
This was a great vid! They always are!
Awesome video thanks Tim
Best video you have done. Thank you!
Awesome info, but them weird structures could be old gardening beds since moving to Tennessee. I've learned most of our lakes are highland reservoirs before the daming there used to be a lot of communities, just a possibility... Great upload, Tim
Great video and informative. Keep these up!
Love sonar videos. Awesome
Awesome video.
Got me a Tactical wake in Hitch was clacking the point today 😁
Great job! 👍
🍺Well done. I enjoyed this one.👍
How to approach the point to cast? Boat position, never see a video explaining this here, nice video!
Wish I could post pictures here!!
Caught an 8lb bucketmouth with the Dirty Jigs 3/8 oz jig (Go-To) and Reaction Innovation Sweet Beaver (Tramp Stamp) trailer……these guys are the best!!!! ❤❤❤❤
Excellent
খুব ভালো লাগলো ভিডিও টা, মাছ গুলো খুব সুন্দর ❤❤
Yea Tim the lower part of Watts Bar is a massive area!
Hey Tim, I was wondering if you guys can do a video on the Smart Strike part of the Lakemaster chip?
Thanks again
Eric
Great video. Could you do a video like this on a highland reservoir?
Enjoyed the video. Tim what mapping do you recommend for hds live? Im in South Tx
Awesome video! I have a much better understanding of lake contour terminology. 😊

Could you guys do a video on fizzing bass
Can you do a video of you finding spots and catching fish on them
Fishing those ledges, are you catching fish out there in 40’ of water in the summer and if so how is it impacted by the thermocline?
Tacticalmappin
Zoom zoom zoom pause zoom zoom zoom pause..lolol
When you’re fishing a ledge how do you set up to fish it? Do you set deep and cast shallow or do you set up shallow and cast deep?
Make the graph screen cover the page and you vid the small block.
When you are fishing points, humps, ledges,etc… do u get shallow and fish deep, or get deep and throw shallow?
How fast are you idling?
How do you get the green dotted line in your creek channel
Can you guys show us what bass look like hanging out around a bluff wall?
Does Lowrance have the options to color the maps like you did?
Yes it is called shading
I have smart strike chip and my helix doesn't look like that
Can you tell me the exact chip you are using
Also can you show how to transfer waypoints from Google earth to the unit
Hummingbird has some moves on the computer that I am not understanding
Thanks in advance
I have the Elite FS9s, I’ll tell you what, it’s a decent little unit, but I won’t be going back to Lowrance on my next boat, I’ll be going to birds
Any recommendations for the bank guys who still want to know what the bottom looks like? Can those navionics cards go in a handheld gps or similar device?
I know there are some mobile apps (Fishbrain using a navionics product for one) as well but personally I’m not a huge fan of that one so I’d be interested in suggestions.
Yes. I have both LakeMaster & Navionics on my phone.

Go to systems and turn on disable transmission, that will turn off the transducer, go to maps and look around, just remember when you fish again to enable sonar transmissions.
How deep do you catch bass in TN river
Is there an issue turning on your unit in your garage out of the water? I heard it wasn't good for the transducers is that correct?
The transducer might overheat. You can select the "Stop Sonar" option to disable the transducer if you're doing map study on the unit while you're not on the water.
@Kung Pow yea that is what I thought I usually just disconnect mine from the back
What lures or fishing techniques would you use to fish ledges/breaks that are 40'-50' deep?
I was wondering the same thing…spoon maybe?
Im not gonna lie i be watching theese videos even tho there is only peacock bass in my lake and no large mouth
Haven't watch but I know the answer, thumbnails. Those are thumbnails for your video.
What is some names of the apps that I can get on my phone at home.
I’m not sure how to upload chip info onto my sonar, not really any videos out there showing how to. Just don’t wanna waste money on something I can’t upload
What are you throwing in 40ft of water ???😅
