How to Catch Bass from Brush Piles | 1-2 Punch

Bush piles exist everywhere bass swim, so it's in your best interest to learn how to locate and fish them fast and efficiently. Mark Daniels Jr. ( / markdanielsjr ) showcases how to find brush piles quickly using his fish finders and then catch bass with a highly-effective jerkbait and drop shot 1-2 punch with the aid of forward-facing sonar (LiveScope in this case).

Unlike many regionally-specific cover types (e.g., rocks, grass, sea walls, etc.), brush piles or various wood cover exist nearly everywhere and at multiple depths. There's always bass on the prowl. Daniels demonstrates how to find brush piles using side imaging and LiveScope. And contrary to what many people think, forward-facing sonar performs well in shallow water, where he discovers the fish-holding brush.
His first play is to work a jerkbait over the brush to gauge the fish's mood and trigger the biggest and most aggressive bass. With LiveScope as his mood barometer, he'll pivot to a drop shot worm setup to scratch out a few more fish before moving to the next spot.

Forward-facing sonar helps achieve consistent and accurate lineups, with the right rod combos delivering the lures on target. Daniels details his go-to jerkbait and drop shot rod setups for this brush fishing application.

I feel like that reel is a sleeper but it's my favorite cranking reel. It cast great and I don't think I've ever backlashed it

[@DoubleDigitAngler]

Definitely a powerful tool. I have installed on my yak. I think I found the ticket to catch those bass attacking shad balls though

[@BrianMason3636]

[@sirronbailey3109]

Is there anyway that you can go over your settings that you use to see 90 feet out. Mine does not do that for whatever reason it is too cloudy. Thanks so much

[@Wired2Fish]

Hi Sirron, here's a video we recently shot about configuring Garmin LiveScope PLUS. We think you'll find some useful info in it --> th-cam.com/video/51v39Myi3fM/w-d-xo.html

Can't escape a screen even when fishing, SMH!

[@fishboydyl]

I refuse to watch a screen the whole time I fish

[@scottgbassin2250]

Must be nice to have the best equipment to see everything and get to stare at a screen 24/7.

Can we get some videos without using super expensive electronics!! Not everyone can afford the high tech sonars.
