Always great content Gino ! Thanks
Your Welcome
I know these are a lot more work for you but I appreciate these long “how to videos” soooooo much. I’ll be hooking up with you soon for a trip.
I enjoy making them for y'all. I wish I had more time to do more it's just super tough with my schedule.
Awesome Gino!!!! Thank you for this info!! I fish there all the time flipping the banks, going to get into this for sure!!!!
Your welcome
One of the few fishing shell bar video out there! thanks for making it! we just need to get ya a mic hard to hear what your saying when your up on the front of the boat.
That camera has a good external mic. I've got another camera and mic coming so I can get some better shots and audio.
Get a a wireless lav mic
You had a good run Gino I need to find the shell spots on lake Dora or Beauclair. Good on ya.
Always great Gino !!! T y
I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Great video! Straight forward info on the shell bars and your technique. Noted slight wind coming toward bow but which direction is current? Guessing throw upriver and retrieve with current? Thx !
Timely video!
Thanks for the video
Your Welcome!
Need to hire you to learn to fish offshore on lake Harris
Good info thanks do you ever fish the river down past Sanford if so any tips thanks
Gino I live right by the Swamp House Restaurant on the St. Johns. I am primarily a Central Florida Lake Fisherman. Can you tell me if I leave the ramp by the Swamp Hose and go north (before Blue Springs) are there plenty of shell beds in between where the bass fishing should be good? BTW is it good most year around? Thanks Gino
How deep is the water by that channel marker where you are catching the fish ?
Shell bar big girls hang at the bar!!!
you notice how they bite right before the boats pass lol that happens to me too out there!!!
Where exactly did you fish like where in the river
Is the shell bars still a good choice by the end of October?
Sometimes
If you could only have one, which would it be, power poles or spot lock?
Spot lock 100%. With that being said, I spend 99% of my time fishing little obscure spots offshore. If I fished shallow I would choose poles. You need to buy what product best suits YOU.
@@GinoLosi thanks man! That’s what I felt! I like off shore and would rather be there but springtime here is shallow and lasts a while. Poles are key then but think spot lock could be used in and out vs. just less than 8ft.
What ramp would you recommend for launching. BTW no shootings today 😊
Ed stone is great if it's a weekend. Otherwise Butler street is good during the week.
@@GinoLosi Ed Stone ramp you run north from there for shell beds?
Hey Cap, where’s your video on How to locate shell beds. Did a search of your videos and could find it.

Why will they be there one day and 3 miles away the next day? Bait moving? No current in that one shell bar you were fishing?
There was current just not much because the river gets wide there. The shell bar fish follow the bait. Those bars are dinner tables, not homes. They act completely different than grass fish. Think about areas you've seen big schools of shad one day and then they are gone the next. Those bass follow the bait.
North or south of the Astor bridge? Great video man!
South
Thanks
Sweet. I fish mostly north of lake George. Shell bars are tricky but once you figure them out they pay big.
@@bradwillman877 Hey Brad are you up around Green Cove area ?
@@dwhite4190 I am further south in the Fruitland Welaka area.
Would you look for these shell bars in late October on the St Johns? If not, what to look for?
Lakes are great in oct if the water is high
@@GinoLosi thank you

Hey brother I think your messenger account has been hacked .. fyi
My account has not been hacked. Someone has made a duplicate account that looks like me. Please report it. Thanks for the heads up.
2 questions.
1. What color pallet and contrast settings are you using on your lowrance?
2. What retrieve are you using?
I fish some shell beds in 8-10ft of water and can only get them to bite when the swimbait is falling. I tried yo-yo'ing it to try to imitate it falling and didn't have any success, but id cast it back out and get bit as it was sinking.
Color pallet #9 for sidescan and #1 for 2D. My retrieve varies depending on where the bass and bait are located in the water column. You were probably dealing with suspended fish. If you watch the video I was letting the swim bait hit the bottom and using a slow steady retrieve to ensure the bait stayed on the bottom. With that said I did this based on that situation.
