Are you graphing offshore structure the right way? On my channel, I recommend graphing for 3-5 hours a day for the best offshore fishing results. But if you don’t know how to graph your lake efficiently and effectively, you can waste over half of your graphing time! In this video, I explain how I graph 5 different types of offshore structure with my fish finder and give general rules of thumb to make sure you maximize your graphing sessions!

  • I am a newbie to using sonar, down scan, and side scan electronics. We recently moved to the Lake Tillery area of NC and I feel overwhelmed trying to locate fish. I am using Navionics to try to identify potential locations but there are so many points, drops, humps to choose from. I do like and follow your videos. You do a great job of explaining what you are doing! Thanks
