- Here's how we find bass in Summer! Whether you're a bank fisherman with no electronics, a shallow water fisherman with minimal equipment, or an offshore angler with all the latest bells and whistles, these are the tricks we use to find fish! If you've wondered how guys "fish offshore" in the Summer, this is it!
Fishing away from the bank is all about understanding your electronics. Whether you have a basic 2D sonar unit or an advanced unit with side imaging, 360, live, etc... you can find and catch these fish. The more options you have, the less time required to find fish, but you can do this with the smallest screens and basic 2D sonar if you're patient.
Below you'll find links to the exact equipment Tim is using in the video. We've also included links to a handful of his favorite offshore lures. Keep an eye out for an in-depth video on the baits and gear we use for this style of fishing soon! All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

THESE are the videos we really need. 🙏🙌 more of these less of the videos telling us what brand walking bait you prefer lol. Thank you please do more videos like this. This video was gold
Or maybe you could realize that you aren’t the only person on earth and some of us just like hearing about new lures because we already know how to fish them. They do a nice mix of everything because there is more than one kind of viewer on this channel.
@@rodneyrandolph2128 think its obvious their whole business model is to sell people baits through their affiliate links. Their buyers guides rarely change from year to year, sometimes they'll add one or two new soft plastics or the newest Shimano reel, but beyond that they're pretty repetitive.
Guys gotta eat
Maybe you should just go figure the shit out for yourself.
Ive said it before, these are Tim's best videos. More people have traditional sonar than forward facing and I predict its gonna rejuvenate its interest again.
Anybody else up for a couple hour long live stream with Matt and Tim on the Tennessee River.
The best part of this channel is there’s no brand specific self promotion. They use what works
Any video that provides additional knowledge and insight on how to maximize the value of our investment in electronics to help us catch fish are ALWAYS great videos. I understand waterways and water conditions all have an impact on settings, but would really like to hear/see your thoughts on the "best" settings for various types of water conditions/bodies of water and well as the tips and tricks for the dos and don'ts for transducer installs, setups etc, to maximize the clarity and effectiveness of our graphs. Including things like the best locations to install forward facing sonar, best ways to manage cables on your trolling motor shafts, etc etc. Fishing videos are great, but content around electronics and accessories that help us locate fish are even better. Great vid!
Matt & Tim; thank you so much for all the video’s you guys make and share And also educating even some of us in South Africa. Tech has changed from specific video’s (VHS) to DVD’s to what you guys are doing. This is truly game changer material….even for us fishing socially and not competitions.
Echoing others in asking for more videos like this. Really appreciate them, Tim.
Watched this vid a couple times. As an electronics newbie, this was so informative and insightful. Keep this kind of content coming!
Thank you so much for taking the time to show and explain how it works! 🤙
That was good. I don't have a boat or any electronics but my brain is starting to wake up on how they work, nice vid.
A little shout out to the shore guys in an electronics video. Love it !! Thanks buddy. Keep on keepin on
thanks Tim, great showing your process with all the electronics
Great video Tim. I know this video took a lot of work. So glad you did this!
Thx for the video. Now I know how it is more complicated talking about mapping and pointing on hummingbird compare to lowrance. And actually the pictures are comparable. But I got it - the point of this video is different and I really appreciate what you guys do. I've got a new lesson learned and I will definitely try it out.
Great info.
Love the format. A video on how you approach points would also be great.
Awesome step by step onthewater instructional lesson.
👏👏👏 thank you Tim,great job ❤
happy Monday boys
I love this video and the entire channel, outstanding!!!
Seeing how you position your boat has given me confidence on what I’m doing
awesome video I really want too learn off shore fishing so I can be competitive in tournaments! thanks guys
As a tournament co angler I find that having maps on your phone really helps if the boater turns off their console graphs to save battery. Hummingbird has a great One-Boat Network app for maps. If you end up getting a boat and a hummingbird unit you can link all the way points you have saved on the app.
They doesn’t turn them off for to save batteries life it’s to keep you in the back from seeing how they fish the area, remember most fishermen has lithium batteries now so the batteries life trick is BS
Great video buddy, I would’ve loved to see you pinpointing those fish on side image turned around drove over to see if those was bass and then showed how far you should stay off the waypoint and how to lineup to get an precise case on the fish that would be very helpful on your next video. Thanks and keep the videos coming
Yep…look for the hundreds of cormorants that are gorging on baitfish, crappie, bluegill, baby bass, and stocked lake fish before you have a chance to catch one….the birds that are putting a hurt on our local fisheries and our trees around our lakes. Good video, Tim!
I totally do this with basic 2D and a marker bouy and catch fish. The electronics companies love the guys who go into debt to catch fish. What has fishing come to , geez.
Agree, if you cant triangulate you dont deserve to graph 😂
Al these folks with their fancy rodddds n reelz. Back in mah day tweren’t no newfangled doohickeys needed to catch them ditch pickles. Just Yestiddy, I stolt a slice of fatback from my mammy, went to the mud hole by the cistern and hauled out a mudbug. I fashioned a pop cap into a purt-near purfect lipsticker Strung that to my crawdaddy using some stolt thread (sorry again, mammy. Hope you fount somethin else to fashion Suzies tater sack dress) then I pullt out my pre-whittled length of bois d’arc, rolled up my britches and headed oer to the pond to tempt an ole bucket mouth. Came upon an old coot hand lining with a coffee can. Coulda swore I heard him mutter “What has fishing come to, geez”
Looks like you've got a great system. Just one suggestion you might think is beneficial. In the menu you can set range rings around your boat. I have mine set to 4 rings 20 feet apart giving me 80 feet of visual measurement from my waypoint. I don't know if you would find this helpful, but might be worth checking out. Great video!
More of these please!!!!
Great video
definitely need more of this in your videos when you're doing videos on seasonal patterns and movement. so many times you talk about where the fish are going and just show a map. this was of giving insight would be prenominal.
Here we go with the app plugs. Matt and tim did so good and held off for so long they were like the last ones lol. The last thing the fishing industry needs is ANOTHER app 😂😂 sheesh. I cant even name em all theres so many.
Man ain't that the truth
Thanks bro for the info you still kill it
It’s incredible how much better the picture on live scope is versus mega live.
Definitely need more video's like this one it's hard to know where to look sometimes could you do one like this on Highland reservoirs where ledges aren't the predominate deal lol
360 and the mapcard were much bigger game changers than live was I think
Just throwing this out there if you need a fishing buddy I’m in TN right on the TN river lol
Thanx for great informative video. Now all I need is some electronics and a boat and I will be good to… just messing. 😂
I greatly appreciate these electronic videos (and thanks for talking more about how you incorporate the 360). I have three Helix 12’s (1 on dash and 2 up front). I have yet to get dialed in as clean as you. Do you mind sharing your typical settings?
5:20 tip for Garmin users, if you download the active captain app on your phone and put a SD card into your unit and configure Active Captain, you can use the built-in charts on your phone to create waypoints and automatically sync them to your Garmin unit over Bluetooth/WiFi connection.
Great videos for the pros and those with high end electronics. What about the vast majority of anglers who watch your channel? Most of us use 2-D sonar from a pond prowler, Jon boat, kayak, or even bass boat. Even those I know with high end bass boats, many don’t have Live or 360 😉
I feel that you missed the premise of this video. It started with how to find bass without any electronics at all and built from there. We agree, most don't have the absolute top of the line gear. That's why we spoke to each group while building our way up. Conversely, the angler with live and 360 doesn't deserve to be ignored and left to figure it out on his own just because everyone else doesn't have it. We really do strive to serve all parties.
Great Video! What brand of graph glass do you have on your Solix's? Are they impact resistant? I noticed that they have the cut outs in them for the controls, I can't find them anywhere. The ones from Precision Sonar does not have the cut outs.
Can you link in the description what beard trimmer you use?
Tim, could you do a video on using a gopro? How to setup for recording, how to keep them from overheating? I can't get mine to last 2 hours in this heat... How you edit software for y'alls awesome videos! Thanks- Scottie
These are really good videos for those of us bank busters who wish to become ledge fishermen. But your electronics are a little advanced for some of us older fishermen. You supposed you could do one of these using a hummingbird super 60???????? Lol 😅
Please do a video of how you plug into a recorder and record your videos of the sonar. I would like to as well. No for CZcams but so I can review later or take screen shots of my waypoints.
What rod recomend for flutter spoons? 5 and 6 inches?
This was a great video but I fish in a pond a lot so I'm not really sure where to fish since I can't really see where the color line is and it's not very deep either. I'm pretty sure that when I catch fish it's just because I made a lucky guess
Great info,
But I guess I am not on my brothers boat enough to really understand what I am looking at LOL.
How many transducers do you currently have on your boat?
Can fish actually hear the depth finders when in use?
Great video but the Hummingbird phone app appears to be a Pay app. 😢 I have Lowrance and Garmin. Would be nice to have another source. Does anyone know what the basic yearly cost is? I didn't want to hit accept and find out later. I'd have some splanin to do with Lucy. 😂
One boat network app is like 25 bucks a year i believe.
@@nchec326 Very reasonable if it is.
Tim thanks for your effort. Your idea for this content was great though the execution could have been a bit better (no harm intended). The truth is Humminbird Live's images are not that great despite the advertising. In my humble opinion, the major problem is that most of us have not taken time to properly interpret the Sonar, Down, and Side imaging features on the units we already paid big bucks for. Quick fixes don't exist in bass fishing. There is no substitute for time on the water. If you own a Humminbird, purchase the AC power cord for your unit and spend some down time at home on your unit studying maps of the lakes you fish. For off-shore success, learn how to properly use the standard features on the Units you have, get yourself a set of marker buoys, and spend time on the water with a few proven lures and techniques.The companies make great products but remember, their aim is to also make lots of money tickling ours ears about the next great product to give you instant success. Remember the saying, Start where you are, Use what you have, Do what you can. Tight lines. Junie
Relatively new to graphs. At 9:49 in the video aren’t there fish all over and not just where you’re pointing? Might not be what you want to target.
Why no rods in the boat? 😊
This ain’t fishing your hunting
Mega live sucks
