Another great, informative video! People going crazy over FFS has made it apparent to me that 75-80% of anglers (at least in my experiences) have never realized the full capabilities of their mapping, sonar, down & side scan that’s been around the last decade (though it’s clarity & accuracy has improved greatly in recent times). Refreshing that you continue to show off the power of using these tools & appeal to guys like me that enjoy bassin’ on a small budget. I’ll be out there finding offshore bass on my old lowrance Elite 5’s (mapping/sonar/down scan) thinking how I could better find new spots w/ a side scan unit lol.
Love my FFS but you are spot on I enjoy them all. DS, SS and traditional 2D sonor if a person learns to use them it’s really all you need
I have downscan and side scan but I'm horrible and using it. I'm a very tech savvy young guy but I don't know anyone that's ever used it before. What are the best videos to watch to learn how to use it to its fullest potential
@@peterd.2220go over the older videos on this channel for tons of instruction on reg. Fish finders.
I love these videos. It shows you don’t need FFS to catch the fish. It adds more context to the lake.
Of course you don't need ffs to catch fish, people have been catching fish long before any electronics were invented. Ffs is for people that don't know how to catch fish without seeing it on a screen
Great topic and content as so many of your videos are! No FFS and sticking to what more average boat owners have in the way of electronics is soooo helpful for us who have spent the money, wanting to learn and have some on water success. I know it may not be sexy, but a channel that adds a series of Basic 3 gen old electronics { I have HDS gen 3 } front {trolling motor mounted} and back and they do run 3-in 1 transducers, even though not supported with very good images. Keep this content type coming as it helps the whole sport continue to keep attracting those who cant afford the latest and greatest, but are committed to leaning and improving.
Heading sensor, transducer and atleast one screen at the bow+ console screen. At that point you’re one purchase away from scope.
@cloutmaster965 yeah, and that next big step cost more than I have in the whole boat...2002 19.2 vip [ nolonger made] was the BASS tournament boat the year it was made. 150 vmax, found it for 6800, added the two ebay auction, hds 9 and a repair shop rebuilt minkota 70lb thrust. Maxed my spend as on disability after heart transplant. Fished good, just need to expedite my technique / knowledge and graphing in Texas sun is mitigated with the added bimini, a life savor in our nw TX heat.
thanks so much for teaching us to use the sonor WITHOUT FFS
Glad you enjoyed!
@FTM- great time of year to do a video catching/hunting bream eaters up shallow. No ffs needed there either. Good stuff! Love my depth shading!
Very enjoyable video!
21:35 Just a reminder that fluorocarbon has just as much stretch as nylon monofilament (sometimes more, depends on the formulation). Fluorocarbon is denser and often has better bite transmission, but it's a myth that fluoro stretches less than nylon mono.
So I'm a little confused... you began by showing us that the thermocline is around 25 feet, and the fish were most likely going to be above that depth. And when fishing for suspended bass, you let the bait get to 20 feet or shallower. But later, you gave up fishing for suspended fish, and went on to use a football jig to scrape the bottom in 30-40 feet of water. If the thermocline is at 25 feet, why are you fishing bottom in 30-40 feet? I thank you ahead of time for your answer. Love your channel... especially when you are not using FFS. Keep up the good work!
The mapping in the second area was off by 10' or so. If you look at the down imaging images, the fish I marked were in 20-25ft on a rockpile, but the map said it was 35ft deep. Just a contour map error.
@@FishtheMoment Ah-ha! Now it all makes sense... thanks!
I appreciate your vids giving your thoughts on locating fish. For the most part a lot of others have a “secret” bait that is sure to catch them. It does not matter what bait you use if not put where the fish are. The hard part locating them, then catching is not so hard. Thanks again.
Great video Johnny! I really like the non-ffs videos. Thanks for posting.
Great video and teaching Jonny , i do the same.It is just so much harder without spot lock.That is definatly a added advantage. Thank you so much for the shading tip!!!❤
Man your doing a great job at explaining these steps, I'm so glad I came across your channel keep doing what your doing brother. Now time to put them to use.
Thank you. The best presentation on fitness use of a Lowrance graph I have seen.
So helpful for my challenges to find better water depth.
It is great seeing how you work through the process of switching between graph views to find your spots.
Thanks so much for showing us how to do it without forward facing sooner. It’s exactly what most of us need.
Jonny u r the best off shore fisherman! Great info,!!
Dude is a wizard. Great content.
Excellent video bud!
Fantastic video! Saving it so I can watch it again later!
Great video as usual Jonny. You make me want to buy a Lowrance! Jealous of that waypoint management.
A+ video! Great explanation of working the thermocline and using electronics to cover water
really beautiful setup on the 6.5 raid but your link is not the same jig head you used on the 6.5 raid. Can u share the correct head?
A little off topic
Curious to your thoughts on the new Eagle from Lowrance. The "working man's live". What's a thousand bucks gets you ? Pros and cons.
I'm going to get one to review and make a video about it. I hope its good because the price is great!
This was awesome!! What Lowrance are you using for this video? Can you provide a link? Thanks again
I'm curious, does this apply to a river as well? Does a river have a thermocline like a lake?
Any similar ideas for tidal water? Im on the Delaware River with 9-12 foot tidal swings. This tip is huge for lakes absolutely. going to try this out this weekend
I've never fished tidal water so I don't have any tips, unfortunately
Interesting use of depth shading for the summer - I’ll give it a try.
It looks like the actual water depth on 2D and down imaging is ~10-12’ less than what’s shown on the contour map (at about 11:00 into the video). Map shows ~34’ and 2D about 22’. Agree, or am I missing something?
Yeah the mapping in the second area was off by 10ish feet. Looking to get better mapping for next video
Before the days of marking with electronics we used depth and land mark triangulation. I was in heaven when I could just tap the screen or button to mark a spot. I still mostly use FFS to find spots instead of just fish. I cant keep up with all you guys that are good.
Same here! I would have 3 marker buoys out at a time as well haha
Johnny are you using a Point 1 also ? For aiding in lining up your pointer.
Yes, it helps a lot.
No FFS is awesome. Great lesson for the average joe fisherman
Glad it was helpful!
Nice awesome information thank you.
Enjoy the vids johnny
Can you find crappie with these techniques as well?
How do you set a range ring on lowrance?
One more question Jonny. What is the difference between this 6/0 1/4 oz. hover rig hook and a TUSH 7-0 1/4 oz. hook beside one hook size?
The Hover Rig has a 90 degree hook eye with promotes more side-to-side body roll and keeps the bait deeper when retrieving it. The TUSH has a 60 degree hook eye which causes to bait to glide forward more and ride higher in the water. I use the TUSH when I want to fish the bait fast and closer to the surface or in shallower areas. I use the hover rig when I want to work the bait slow and deeper.
Thanks so much Jonny! This explanation helps me and probably others a lot!! Order placed.
👍👍👍👍👍
By using 200 kH the cone is to narrow for the depth your fishing. The fish will look like blobs instead of arches...80kH gives a much wider cone and stays over the fish for a linger time... I use 200 KH in 100 ft or more fishing for grouper. It seems that I see a lot of this with fresh water fishing... may have to make other adjustments, but it works shal water 40 ft or less or maybe even more.... thx for the video. I always learn a lot from you
great video! Do you have a point one antenna on your setup? my heading arrow is all over the place when I don't have a lot of speed.
Yes I do. It helps a lot
@@FishtheMoment thx for the answer. Greeting from France!
Man I wish my home lakes weren't so bland. I really really wanna learn to fish this way. But we have no rock, no brush, and it only has about 500 acres that's over 15ft deep. And they went and killed the grass this year. I live in an area where there's not alot of water. Makes it tuff. And I fish 5 days a week
P.s. witch mean on our two 3,500 acre lakes everyone within 60 miles hammer it cuz we just don't have many Lakes around
Is this for largemouth ? I need big largemouth for my tournaments
Why does the imaging show as a color difference between the warm water top layer and cold bottom layer?
It seems the thermocline depth was established early in the video but the fish were all caught deeper than that? Is this correct?
All the fish I saw and marked on down imaging and 2D sonar were in 20-25ft. The mapping was off in the second area I was fishing. Not sure if it was a water level offset issue or an error in the mapping.
Thanks Jonny! That helps.
Looked like your spots were deeper than 20-25 ft thermocline??
Some spot where deeper, but the fish were above the thermocline.
Most of the fish were sitting in 20ft of water, even if they were suspended over deeper water
Thanks for going to non ffs content again. 2 years of nearly dedicated ffs was killing me.
Why is the black on the bottom, not white belly
Ever since I’ve gotten FFS, I used to be the guy that was like it takes no skill to use it. Not true at all. I’ve caught 1 fish since I’ve gotten it, and caught my largest fish on matted grass so you can’t even use ffs. It’s a great tool when you know when to use it and when to not use it.
I haven't actually caught a fish on it yet
Agreed I thought it was the magic bullet all it does is piss me off to see fish I can’t catch. I have caught maybe 2-3 off it. Most of the time I won’t even turn it on anymore cause I find myself wasting time with it.
@@Dakotagrand10 yeah a lot of people that are against it don’t even understand it. Like yes it is a great tool fishing in deeper water but that’s about it. You don’t know what species it is, and I’ve caught myself wasting time trying to catch fish that were probably just gar or carp lol
@@TysonEdwardsFishing it’s definitely a learning curve, knowing patterns paired with this makes it a great combination. Down in Texas it’s hot, so I assumed they’d be in deeper water till I pulled in a 7.5lber in heavy vegetation in maybe 2-4ft of water lol
Because I live in north. Smallmouth keep hitting it
I just fish in like 3 feet of water 😂. All this technology and a lot of the time the bass are one foot from the bank. 😂😂
Nice to see a true fishing video without FFS. Imagine if all videos were about fishing and not fish hunting. There could actually be a skill in it that could be honed over the years and appreciated. The fact that you mention that you don't have FFS dozens of times, suggests that you may have become too dependent upon it. With FFS you can eliminate 99% of the lake in 10 seconds. Just shoot at what you see. Perhaps you could commit your channel to teaching people how to fish and never using FFS. I laughed when you called it a grind because you only caught 5 fish and had to do it without seeing and tricking the fish......welcome to fishing. Love your channel and your enthusiastic teaching...want to encourage you to fish and not hunt.
Glad you enjoyed the video. I have over 200 videos on my channel catching fish offshore without FFS. I only recently started adding it into videos and using it myself. It is definitely a great tool, but I've been having more fun recently not using it to find and catch bass. If you enjoy watching videos without FFS, I would encourage you to watch my past videos from before 2023.
it’d be interesting to see what percentage of people who own a bass boat have forward facing sonar at this point
I'll make a community poll on my channel. I did one a year ago and it was 50/50.
@@FishtheMoment love it man! thanks! and thanks for the great video as always
The poll is live on my community tab
I feel like you know something most dont, im appalled you use $60 reel, i just cant believe it lol.
Over the years i always inched into baitcast realm. Never wanted to spend alot. Could never cast them until got my first curado, fast fwd now have 54 reels and curado is my lowest grade.
