During a recent practice day for an On-The-Water fishing lesson on Table Rock Lake, I recorded my entire process for finding bass offshore on a new area of a lake. In this video, I explain how to divide your time on the water between graphing and fishing to give yourself the best chance at finding bass offshore. Hope you enjoy!

    Young man I have always enjoyed watching your videos, you get so worked up on catching them and you have always explained to your viewers how you fish areas
  • @michaels1423
    How this channel doesn’t have 100,000+ subscribers is beyond me. I think it just shows more people care about baits and vlogs more than actually learning what it takes to be a consistent bass fisherman. 🤦‍♂️, another great video Jonny, keep up the great work! I’ve learned that nothing like seat time when it comes to offshore fishing. I’ve learned in my lake and most that once a good summer spot usually a good spot all summer long.
  • @Choffa09
    Johnny - as always, great instructional video! I get impatient graphing when I find a spot; I spend more time than I should. I need to follow your rule of 10 casts and move on. I spend like 20 mins. “10 casts and move” Thanks for reminding me to move after 10 mins!
  • @alexp.9355
    Idk how your channel hasn’t blown up more I love the teaching instead of just entertainment format of your channel so keep it up, also you should fish Stockton lake for a video.
  • @Trayman26
    Your videos are awesome!! Keep doing those videos showing the electronics. I love the side imagining and down imagining you show that is very helpful.
  • @dirty828shocker
    FLW Cup Lake Hamilton breakdown seems very fitting for a vid.
  • @dariusd1850
    Keep it up on a data approach like you do. Your channel and TacticalBassin nails it straight, i am a fan. GOOD JOB!
  • Awesome vid... This is the level I'm on in my fishing just having such a hard time at it... Primarily the graphing and lining up on spots
  • @MrCha-nh6ex
    Always looking forward to your uploads man!!! Keep them coming
  • @butchpeyton2469
    As always, great instructional video. I just need to be able to discipline myself to put more time on the graph. Awesome you practice what you preach.
  • @ballzybaits4414
    You make offshore fishing look easy. haha. I been using some of your tips....takes patients for sure. but rewarding. thanks for what you do my friend!
  • Fantastic video FTM! Been checking out your vids studying your offshore series and how to understand boat electronics since I just recently began fishing from a capable boat lol. These series are great, keep up the great work FTM! I'm looking into new electronics for the front trolling motor next, what would you advise that's not silly priced?
  • I'm a new fisherman and you have inspired me to go fishing more. thx buddy.
  • learn before you teach!!! I love your channel for trying to be more cerebral about my fishing! Keep it up PLEASE!!!
