No joke. There is no other channel that puts out such well-rounded, detailed GOLD. This is literally a free, ongoing masterclass--thr type of education that people pay good money for. Very thankful for this channel and now with Randy joining FTM, I don't know how it could get better
How is this not one of the biggest fishing channels on any platform??!! Your content is amazing. Your production is great. Very well thought out and informative. Keep it up, man. The break will come and then you'll be viral.
It puzzles me what make one a popular TH-camr! This man should be one of the most popular TH-camrs if learning is the most important reason for watching TH-cam videos. But...whatever, I learned a ton from this man. Deep appreciation!
Dude you have to be one of the best teachers on TH-cam. I thank you for your hard work and look forward to seeing some more. I’m really wanting to get better on the whole off shore structure thing myself video came a great time
I absolutely love the enthusiasm that you display in your videos! They are always filled with great info and insight into the bass fishing world! Thank you!
This was not only a great explanation, but it was timely as well. The FLW Tour opener on Sam Rayburn was a perfect demonstration of the sort of precision you discuss here. Boat position, casting angle, current and structure all relating to the exact spot the fish are holding on is critical in triggering the fish into biting. I had never considered all of it together before. Brad Hallman explained that a bait would have to contact a specific piece of cover or structure to get schooled bass lit up. The bait could make contact with just about anything else in the area, but the deflection, sound, light reflection and action that drew strikes was only possible if the bait made contact with THIS rock, or THAT stump and from a specific angle. That action made all the difference and when repeated, drew strikes from every fish in the school. Any other presentation of the same lure to the same school would go completely ignored. Nicely done, Johnny.
I remember when I was a kid in the 60s I would go on a 3 day fishing trip with my dad and uncle. It was 3 days of bank beating in the middle of summer I never knew bass were anywhere else. Bass fishing has come along way. Thanks for an excellent Vedic.
Dude you are great at explaining every point you are trying to make. I really appreciate you taking the time to go into detail and not assuming that I know what you are saying. If I already knew than I wouldn’t be watching your channel. THANKS! Great job!
Awesome video and a must watch for anyone looking to improve.Definitely highlights the importance of having good electronics and knowing how to use them.
Jonny I think I ve watched all the videos. And although I am from Europe and fish for pike and perch I find You channel very helpful and all the bass tips applicable for our perch fishing in Europe. Thanks for Your effort and keep up the amazing work :)
I’ve been fishing for years pounding the banks just got a Helix 5 n want to try some offshore fishing your channel is awesome lots of great information man !
Appreciate you sharing that information with us on offshore fishing. The insight is valuable to us who like to fish off shore for bass. Thanks again for being open. Like your vids.
If anyone just watched the first FLW tourney of the year on Sam Rayburn, this video is a prime example of the ones doing their homework offshore and finding the best spots with the best fish offshore. Prespawn fishing with majority of the fish hanging off ditches, drains, ledges, etc waiting on the water to warm to move up. This video is a great explanation of all of that! If someone could break down what they were doing out there it would be Jonny!
THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO!!!!!! You my friend are AWESOME!!! Keep up the FANTASTIC WORK! You have a true gift & share it with us so well. Tight lines , bent rods & GOD BLESS!!!
That was the best video I have seen it’s hard to leave a spot you know has fish but following your instruction I’m catching more bass . We have no good lakes in s miss . But , I’m using some of your stuff and doing better .thanks Jonny
Bro, you're crazy smart with this stuff. I'm pretty good with offshore stuff, but your knowledge goes way beyond me. Love the videos, and thank you so much for these kinda vids.
Great video. Question...at 17:10 you talk about that shell bed you found. How did you know it was a shell bed? That always baffles me when I hear how specific top fisherman get with the structure that they find but never actually see. Again, great video. Thank you.
Dude! Just play your videos on those big screen units and you don't need to graft lakes...just follow your instructional videos and catch fish like crazy! Amazing🎣
Man I just recently found your channel but dang!! I can’t get enough your videos and the most in depth informational bass fishing videos I’ve found yet! Also helps you are a huge hogs fan like myself. Woooo! Pig! Soooie!!!
Wow thanks! You answered my biggest questions: how much patience do I need to find fish on sonar before fishing, and aren't fish scared off by the boat. Can't wait to get out there and try again!
Man this video is absolute GOLD for any fisherman ! Been watching for a while now, very impressed with what you know and what you share.. I hope my videos can become this helpful one day. Thanks man.
I fyi agree about making 1 only 10 casts on offshore spot. He'll if I make 3 or 6 casts in and come thru it that many times without a bite x its time to move. Rock piles. Boulders whatever it may be. When you present a lure that they can see normally they'll bite it. The other times they don't. But that's great advice. Use the laws of average to your benefit.
Glad to see you putting more videos out , you should just go pro for a year an see how you like it , you have the knowledge an you use 101 basic fishing a lot of folks forget that , you got it take care.
As usual one of the best fishing video series on TH-cam. Johnny is a natural born instructor. I would love to support your channel with single donations, unfortunately I can't join your monthly clubs as I am on a retired budget. Thanks for the great tips.
So much good and informative info!! I learn something new every video. Thanks for diving in deep and making it easy to understand! Your "how to" read contour maps and sonar videos are by far the most comprehensive tutorials out there. If you struggle with your sonar, these are a MUST WATCH!! Thank you Johnny!!
I fish tournaments my whole life and I've done well I usually win big tournaments 10% of the time and money almost all 90% of the time and little home field tournaments 65% of the time but I wish I had half the knowledge that you do. you ever go out and give people tips on their boat while fishing. I've never been one to even use my graphs but I've just started to I've always been that fisherman that fishes by the seat of my pants and I've always been extremely lucky but my luck hasn't been as good the last few years so I've actually gone out and bought a brand new 12-inch Garmin with live scope and I did win two tournaments just because of that live scope I just wish I knew how to read the graphs more and find my own places, instead of flying by the seat of my pants and just relying on luck. Great informational videos brother
I know I've also said this before, you show content NOBODY else shows and your style of videos is amszing. I appreciate these fish finder videos alot. Unless you've done it already, could you show structure on sidescan, and then w another camera, show yourself casting to the side of the boat out to it? And explain how you know WHERE to cast, That's one thing I'm trying to figure out.
I really appreciate you breaking down how to fish all the different ways and areas. Fishing has changed so much since I was fishing in the late 70s and 80s. I now sit and watch your videos and make notes in my phone. My memory went with my fishing skills a long time ago. Keep up the good work. I also got the Deep dive app. so that should help me out on what to throw. Thx again
@@FishtheMoment if you're fishing with friends (like 2-3 guys total) offshore, should all 3 guys be casting over the same spot or will that spook the fish?
Awesome video, I have seen Jacob's vid and if you watch a lot of his vids it looks like he moves a lot! These are the best vids for the type of content your are giving us. I understand more about my maps from these videos than I have by spending time on the water with quote "experts". Thanks
Only making a couple casts to each area isn't talked about much in tournament/bass spin fishing, I've heard it a lot for fly fishing, especially pike/musky and small stream trout, but it's a good general rule as well, not just with flies, but conventional tackle too
You mentioned the tip about moving on after 10 or so casts if you don't get a bite. What if you happened to not be throwing the right bait at that time? Maybe the current suddenly shifted and the fish moved from the bottom to suspended. I know that's probably not the most common scenario, but I'd be interested to hear your take on when to try a different bait before calling the spot a bust. Great content as usual!
Loved, loved, loved this post. EXTREMELY informative. Can you do a greater detailed post on Graphing then properly positioning of your boat based on that graph information? Thank you in advance.
Johnny, What I love is your superb clarity and informative details. Especially noted that your teaching statistics and probability factors to put more odds and favor in the fishermen's experience.
@@FishtheMoment also when throwing a crankbait in current, do u perfer perfer throwing it up current and reeling it in with the current or throwing it down the current and reeling it against the current?
Cher Cha I’ll mix it up, depending on how the spot sets up. If it’s wind current, I’ll usually cast into the wind and bring the bait back with the wind current. With dam generated current, Ive had success both ways. I usually try both and see which one works better.
Nice video! I was wondering if you can make a video on finding offshore structure and dropping way points then positioning your boat to be able to actually cast down to the structure
One of the best primers on offshore bass fishing I have watched. I have seen many of these individual points and observations made, but not illustrated; or talked about, but without this much specificity. Quite an accomplishment! Thanks for sharing it. Brad
Hey I've been watching your videos. Very well done and very informative. I'm coming to Lake Hamilton on the weekend of February 2nd for a weekend getaway. Never have fished there and was hoping you could give me some info on what to look for. Thanks and keep up the good videos.
I hope you don't get tired of me saying it, but you ARE the best. There is no other channel out there with this kind of quality content.

Better info than any other fishing channel on TH-cam or any fishing show on TV. This is the kind of knowledge that actually helps you catch more fish!
You are the best channel on out there for beginners.

This type of coverage should set the standard for teaching people to find fish offshore.
I always love learning and I definitely need to learn off shore. Thanks for the great video
