I can confirm that so called "no man's land" was the prime depth for me most of the year. Won tournaments in March, July, and September all in that depth range from 4'-14'.
Got my replica today from American Fish Taxidermy, it turned out amazing! It's accurate to size& custom painted. It looks exactly like my pics! 11.4 largmouth. On a big swim bait in the kayak!
I think it’s also key to remember that last year some of the major tournament trails had a good chunk of their events during or right after the spawn when fish would theoretically be in that depth range anyway
Is it that the 4-12 is the sweet spot for the fish.... or is it because that is the sweet spot for using live scope (which the top pro's all use)? Or maybe a combo of both. Under 4' it's often too weedy/too much cover for live scope... deeper than 12' also offers challenges with using forward facing live scope (where downward facing might be more useful for dropping right down on the fish)
The 4-12ft zone has always been productive and underutilized by anglers, even before Livescope. However, Livescope is actually very effective from 12ft -80ft of water and has made fishing in those deeper areas much easier and more approachable. I would say Livescope is the easiest to use in 15-60ft of water because the fish show up a lot better. However, the fish aren’t as easy to see on Livescope in 4-12ft of water, but it’s still possible. So with a lot of angler still fishing the bank and other anglers fishing deeper than 12ft, the 4-12ft zone has been the least pressured water until this past year or so.
Those are after spring spawn spots till the water temp drops , coincidently , thats tournament season ..late fall winter and early spring , your technic wont pan out as good if im not mistaking ?
These areas and depth zone worked in tournaments from February through October for winter, pre-spawn, spawn, post-spawn, summer, and fall bass. This also works through the winter and early spring.
Now that you have used all 3 major brands of fishing electronics. If you could only have 1 brand 1 type/ model of units, which would you buy for yourself??? I don't think you can go wrong with any of the 3. But when considering other things like customer support, have start leaning towards Garmin & Hummingbird. Before I got my unit last winter. I did a ton of research & Lowrance had absolutely zero customer service or support. I actually never heard back from them!?
Haha I know right! What’s worse is that I caught two 3.5 pounders doing the same thing after turning the cameras off. Thought I would only catch 2 pounders so I didn’t bother turning them back on lol
I showed how to find these fish with side imaging first. FFS was not used to find these fish and you can catch these fish without FFS. I and many other anglers have been doing this for 10+ years.
So called bass pros today are an embarrassment to bass fishing take away there A.I and computer B.S and they have no skills at All Bass tournaments have become a no skilled bore! 😴😴😴
Finally, a source where the "next HOT bait" isn't the main focus. LOCATION is the key!
Can’t catch them if they’re not there!
@@FishtheMoment Best on YT!!
Agree they have to be there first
Time after time, you prove how finding the structure that is holding fish is so important. Thanks for sharing!!
Glad it was helpful!

Home run! Great video Jonny!
Glad you enjoyed
Great video! I’m loving the deep dive app!
Great to hear!
Thanks for the really good tips here, please keep sending them out to us !
Sorry man long overdue but I hit the subscribe button. Great content man.
Glad you enjoyed the video!

All his videos are excellent! And advice works
Another great informative teaching video. Thank you.
Love to see you rolling that garmin at the helm now. They are so user friendly.
That up-twitch was the ticket. Definitely adding that to my arsenal with em following the bait on the scope.
It’s the deal!
Great insights. Thanks for sharing!
Love your videos Johny
Will you be publishing your GT56UHD transducer settings?
Yes, I’ll be making a sonar guide for it soon. Finally feel good about them
Have you ever tracked the exact barometric pressure to see if it’s related to how deep you’re finding them?
Really enjoyed the video keep up the good work
Glad you enjoyed
What graph/app do you use for the boat and distance icon at the 5: 36 minute mark
Great video! What brand electronics do you for your fish finder?

Brave unhooking them jerkbait fish by hand!
What happened to smallmouth patterns?

I’m working on a video right now that covers my thoughts on the current state of electronics in bass fishing
Jonny "I don't want 2lbers" proceeds to catch piles of 2lbers 😂😂 love the content dude 😂👍
Haha I know right! What’s worse is that I caught two 3.5 pounders doing the same thing after turning the cameras off. Thought I would only catch 2 pounders so I didn’t bother turning them back on lol
@@FishtheMoment 😂😂
How do you like the catch commander scale & do u have any discounts for it???
It’s works pretty well. Very durable but the controls are a little weird. I don’t have a discount code and I’m not sponsored.
I’ve always said give me 8 feet of water with tall weeds and I’ll be a happy angler.
Hey that’s me
Congrats on the win! It’s was awesome to watch live.
@@FishtheMoment thanks man appreciate it.
Now you need to get Randy on board with the Livescope instead of getting left behind.
Good luck! Haha
👍👍👍👍👍
Fished by pepole that without that box couldn't catch fish shooting fish in a barrel
Release the fish, then talk.
Guess if you don't know how to find fish you have your sponsors buy you FFS
I showed how to find these fish with side imaging first. FFS was not used to find these fish and you can catch these fish without FFS. I and many other anglers have been doing this for 10+ years.
Love the info an content but u need to get away from livescope was def much more interesting watching u do this wout ffs
