- Come along with me today to learn how I breakdown the ledges of the Tennessee River. We will go over what kind of stuff to idle, how to idle it, what bass look like, and more! You don't want to miss this one!
Great video!! Thanks for sharing, Jake!!!
Headed down to Barkley this week until Sunday. Pretty pumped!
This was a great video Jake! I learned a lot about finding and catching ledge fish. Also you replying to the comments cleared up a bunch more of my questions. Thanks!
Awesome! Thank you!
Very good teaching instruction
Thank you sir!
Dam make it look so easy. Another video that would be great is to see your electronics while you fish to get a better detail
Possibly coming soon!
These are excellent tips. Keep up the good work this year!
Thank you! Will do!
Great show Jake!!! 😁👍💯
Thank you!
Great show bud. Monty Mac
Thanks!!
I need more of these videos or you in my boat haha. Super cool video that teaches a lot.
Thank you!
Fantastic video! Thanks for the detailed explanations!
Thank you for the kind words! Glad I could help!
I caught 2 offshore today for the first time!! Hope this vid helps me further figure it out
That’s awesome to hear! Keep getting after it!
Excellent breakdown. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Very good video , I love doing this on Tennessee river as well in Florence area on pickwick.
Right on
Hammer🔨🔨 great video man!!
Thanks!!
Great video Jake I went north that day got on some good smallmouth😂😂 if I see you out there will give you a wave
Heck yeah sounds good!
Well done, keep em comin....
Thank you will do!
Excellent teacher
Thanks that means a lot!
Great video just subscribed now just fine tuning my side imaging to find fish any videos on that?
Appreciate you subscribing! Good idea we can probably make one! Biggest tips I can give you over comments is make sure the angle of your transducer is level when you’re at idle speed, if you’re a humminbird guy start with your contrast and sensitivity somewhere around 12-14 and run them about the same. Bump
Them up or down so your picture isn’t too blown out. Adjust your chart speed to around the mph you will be idling. Those three things should get your picture pretty solid! Hope this helps
Great job teaching.
I appreciate it!
Exactly what I needed!
Hey thanks man!
Thanks for the info. When fish are on the bottom like that are you able to see them with live scope
They are harder to see but yes, the better you get at it you can definitely see them.
Thanks excellent video.
Thanks for the good word!
Great vid! My question is when you find a school on a ledge and they are stacked like turtles on a log on the edge of the ledge, do you position the boat into the current parallel to the ledge and bring the bait straight through them or set the boat deeper in the channel and fan cast to them on top of the ledge bringing it back to deeper water? Sorry if my question is confusing I’m just trying to figure out boat position. Thanks!
Thanks for the question! I get exactly what you’re saying! Generally speaking, you’re looking for ledges or bars that are current facing. This is going to set the bass up on the front side of the ledge (from deeper water, going up the ledge into shallower water on top of the ledge). You would actually want to be sitting in the shallower water, throwing into the deeper water and dragging it up the ledge back to the boat. This is going to present your bait naturally since the fish are facing the deeper water. This also will allow your bait to stay in contact with the bottom more since you’re bringing your bait shallower and shallower as it comes back to the boat. It’s very hard to set up well and stay in the same spot parallel. You may be able to make a couple good casts through them, but with the wind and current you’ll likely drift off your line. It’s always best to face your boat into the current, throw upstream, and bring your bait back to the boat. Hope this makes sense and helps!
Thanks so much Jake, it does make sense.
great tips Jake
Thank you!
Great video! Thanks!
Glad you liked it!
At 17:00 you mentioned how you would never ever make another cast after catching a dink. Although I am not fishing the Tennessee River when I fish offshore on my lakes I notice catching a small one doesn't usually dictate what size my next few bass are. Does this apply only to the Tennessee River? Why do you think that happeneds there? I know that is a loaded question. Thanks!
Hey thanks for the question! When I said that it is kind of hard to hear but I added “in a tournament” in that sentence. So when I am speaking about not making another cast, I really meant in a tournament situation. The reason being is because generally speaking my first few casts are my best chances at catching a big one. There are absolutely exceptions to this and I have caught really big bass after catching small ones. In a tournament situation my goal is to make those first few casts in as many schools as possible to get those big bass to bite. Generally speaking those big ones won’t let the little ones eat for too long before they get involved. I feel like this applies on all lakes, but once again there are exceptions to everything!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Can you talk about bait positioning on schools please?
Hey there! I did my best in that video to explain that. We talked a bit about how if the school is off the bottom, we’re not going to drag something under them but we would keep something above their head. If they are on the bottom we can wind something through there or drag something through there. You want your bait coming back towards the boat with the current, because the fish are facing into the current. Please let me know if this helps!
Jake it's Garrett Osborne do you still do guided trips? I've told my little boy 😊we fished quite a bit when we was younger lol not sure he believes me
Very rarely anymore! I still do some on occasion but it’s been really hard to in between all of these tournaments.
Good job
Thank you!
Are you casting up on top an bringing it off or are ya paralleling the ledge?
Thanks for the comment! So in this particular situation, the current was flowing from the direction of the deeper water, and it was flowing up onto the shallow bar. My boat was sitting on the shallow bar, and I was casting into the deeper water and bringing it up the ledge so that it was moving with the current. I hope this helps!
@@JakeLawrenceFishing 👍🏼Good Deal
Jake can you zoom in on the graph a lil bit when showing the schools thanks preciate the video man!
Did our best with this one, we will try to get in a little closer next time. Thanks for the input!
@@JakeLawrenceFishing zoom in on them numbers lol back in my day wouldn't ask something like that till 3rd or 4th date now they waste no time. Use a fella for his sim card lmao then act like they don't know ya when a Robertson, Lambert or Haynes comes around.
See, I wouldn't throw my biggest bait first because it tends to pull them off whatever their setup on.
You’re not wrong it does do that sometimes! However, in this particular instance the spot they’re on is the only spot for them to be on. So they’ll go right back and set up on that current facing ledge to feed. Also, when there’s a ton of them in the school, they generally wont all follow. Not throwing the biggest bait first is great for catching numbers out of a school though, no doubt! That’s just my advice for catching the big ones quick! I appreciate your input!
Serious question.. why wouldn’t you Pick them apart with FFS?
At certain times I definitely would. In this particular situation I wanted to display how important it was to go through the cycle of baits and to get your bait back in there as quick as you can. A lot of times you won’t need to until they get finicky.
@@JakeLawrenceFishingthanks Jake!
What’s the big unit on the front deck?
It is an NBT unit!
Keep showing how u graph for them im trying to learn that
I will do my best to keep showing that! Thanks for the input
What size was the tremor head were you using?
3/4oz
@@JakeLawrenceFishing awesome thanks
Did you say trimmer head or swimmer head ? Obviously you were throwing a swim bait .
Tremor yes
