#BassFishing #WhereToFish #April - Sport
Young fisherman don’t know how awesome these lake breakdowns are compared to what we had to do to learn lakes before CZcams. Thanks so much for sharing your experience.
Always nice to pick the brain of someone that knows much more like yourself. Thanks for sharing
The fact that you are at least trying to help us on our local lakes is huge to most of us. Whether you are right or wrong, they are what YOU would at least try, therefore we give it the same consideration. No, they don't always work out but those spots get us to thinking about similar areas that may have the juice. Keep up the hard work and good luck on your season
Edwin,I’m a 70 year old man,been fishing 50 years. I live in Ga and fished Sinclair a lot. The power plant is in operation and most anglers call to find out when there pulling water.Ga power co. There is largemouth and spots in Sinclair. The bass are up staging and some are starting to bed. Shallow areas with overhanging branches is the best places to check. It has tons of tournaments though out spring and summer. There is a lot of fishing pressure. Shad and crawfish colors works best in spring. Well got to go,oh by the way Edwin,your my favorite pro,really respect you and how you go about your business.I always pull for you and wish you the best.
Albert, thank you for the comment and info about the lake. Have a great day and tight lines!
Enjoy all the videos you have provided for us viewers and you're vast experiences that's helping on the water.
When I was young, this wonderful resource didn't exist. This is a blessing for all of us. Thanks for sharing!
Posted this video at a perfect time. I'm hitting the lake first thing in the morning for the first time this year.
Best advice a person can give on braking down new bodies of water love the help.
I like the tips about finding where the muddy and clear water mixes by those bridges on Lake Sinclaire
EE - 1) can you do Conroe? It kicking me. 2) can you do a video to show how you work points. Boat angle, casting angles, things like that. You talk about fishing points a lot but I’m not sure how best to fish them. Thanks for all you do fishing and faith!!
Do an Arizona breakdown! All our lakes are more pressured than anything I’ve ever fished. For instance we have 350,000 fisherman at pleasant yearly with a friend on their boat so realistically around 500-750,000 people fishing a year. Drop shot doesn’t even work without a super small hook and thin flouro line. Then there will be 10lbers caught that day on crank baits or senko worm.
Yes 🙌🏼 I’ve asked about this lake a couple time. Sinclair does have a power plant on it. Hopefully the other guys in the BFL aren’t watching this 🤣🤣🤣 but there are no spots in Sinclair. Or blue backs. Large mouth, white bass, and striper are your bass species.
But the BFL is Mother’s Day weekend and doing a makeup tournament to it’s essentially a 2 day. So what would you do in May? I’m expecting it to be a shade spawn. And then there’s always a dock bite
I love near Shasta lake and you did pretty well for never being there. It is a spotted bass factory with some large and small mouth mixed in. You mentioned in the end top water and big swimbaits, which is what most guys are throwing right now, along with weightless senkos. Love watching your breakdowns and just how on point you were with Shasta and never actually being there is awesome! Thank you for the time you put into these videos!!
It’s so great that you show us how we can sit at home and “scout” lakes before we travel to the lake.
I grew up a few miles from Jordan Lake, thank you for doing that lake.
very good info on these lakes EDWIN, IT TAKE A LOT OF WORK TO LET OTHER FISHERMAN KNOW THE INFO YOU GIVE OUT.ON YOUR VIDEOS.
Great job Edwin! Yes, I’m one of the ones that kept asking for Shasta. So I am truly honored that you took on Shasta. You should be more confident because you pretty much nailed it. It’s a very big Spotted Bass fishery but with a great population of Largemouth and some smallmouth. The 2 you focused on (Squaw Creek & Big Backbone) were great choices and your reasons were right on the money. I would only add what you eluded to right at the end is that the Pit River arm is a fantastic fishery(the one with the big basin you mentioned at the end. That’s Jones Vally & where I usually launch). It’s a super deep River arm so it holds a lot of spots no matter how low it gets. I like the Pit River because it holds a ton of Shad but all those tiny creeks arms are narrow so finding the Shad is simple. Like you said as well, a TON of standing timber at any water level. You can bet that I have been busy marking waypoints on my google earth timeline. When the water goes back up it is going to be fun hitting them all. You are right, most people just don’t know how beautiful the further north part of CA is. You were also correct about the water. It’s ALL snowmelt so the Sacramento arm stays a little colder. It is also a very wild & undeveloped lake. A few springs ago I had a brown phase black bear swimming next to my boat across the pit arm. If you noticed, very few private docks other than the marinas. That’s what I love about it. Anyway, you should come out to Shasta. Pick a year when the water is up(like two years ago) and you will find it is one of the most beautiful lakes you’ve ever been on. Oh, I should mention, it does have some hogs as well. In Feb 2020 the Western Bass Trail pro circuit had a tournament on Shasta and the winner had a bag on the last day with a 12lb8oz LM and an 8lb spotted bass. Not the norm but they are in there. Again thanks Edwin, you’re probably relieved to get Shasta and me off your shoulders. 😂🤣
Congrats on your awesome tourney at Redcrest. Thanks for ALL your great content.
Man brother I was hoping you was going to be the first to win a Bassmaster's Classic and Redcrest!!
Still hoping for that breakdown of Bay Spring's Lake in Mississippi!
I appreciate you E-Squared
Great info. From Durham NC and use to fish Jordan lake. Now in SC and fish all the lakes. Sure could use one of thise batteries.
Lake Tuscaloosa in Alabama… Interested to see your thoughts, easily the worst lake in the state. 8lbs usually gets you in the money in most wildcats, 15lbs is usually caught 2-3 times a year if that. It’s very popular around here though bc it’s the only true lake within an hour of Tuscaloosa.
Agreed. Very tough lake to fish. Love to see a professional see what he can do on it!
Oh and I’d love to see you breakdown Lake Seminole in SW Georgia too man!
Great information about muddy vs. clean water. Great information. On my home lake, Bull Shoals, not a real issue. Will take this information with me north to Kansas to fish pre-spawn and spawners in May. As always, I appreciate all that you do for the sport. Sorry I was not able to visit with you at the BPS fishing fair. I was lucky to visit with Denny for an extended period of time. Thanks Edwin
Richard Bigler
I think lake breakdowns are the single hardest thing to do... I think I have developed a game plan and I get to the lake and nothing looks or is as it appeared on the lake maps, and I end up having to start from scratch. Probably why I am still an amateur and you are the pro! :-)
Also Sinclair always has a stain to it. Hard to sight fish except down by the dam
Thank you for another video. I would like to see a breakdown on the Chickahominy or James river.
Lake breakdowns help me to understand areas to look for in the lake and this time you are discussing a lake in my area of the US still a long way away from the central Valley
Very nice. Just used it to breakdown a small private lake in Indiana. Huge help my friend. Tournament is next Sunday. Still cold here low 31 High 48. Water temp is at 49 to 50. Vibrating jig here we come. Thanks for your help
You’re the man E. Ill bet you an optima battery you’d do Newton lake in Illinois for may!!!
I love these break downs. I've been fishing my whole life and still learn something new every time I watch your channel. Thanks E
Please do a lake breakdown of Cross Lake in Shreveport, LA. Thanks for the great info, Edwin. Much appreciated.
I second that!
Same here 🙋🏻♂️
Thanks for the lake breakdowns and Tim's Ford in TN, Godspeed.
Absolutely love these lake break down videos would like to see you do a lake in the state of alabama
Gonna spend the next week putting the tips into practice on Lake Conroe...how about breaking down that lake in the future? Also enjoy the channel - greatly appreciated.
One of the most spectacular tools!
Thanks E I would like to see where to start onGrand and Ozarks great stuff have a blessed day
Love the videos and teaching you do.
Can you do Watts Bar Lake
Keep the California lakes we love it E!
Oconee that's above Sinclair is the same way but it fishes totally different than Sinclair.
I’ve been asking like crazy and I hope my lake comes up please. Monroe Lake here in Indiana. We appreciate you E!!!
That's interesting that bass will possibly spawn on steeper edges.
Looks like Lake Shasta will be super dangerous running through it seem like a canyon but a good fisherman can fish anywhere. Thx for the tips! As always can’t wait to talk to you again face to face.
I'm new to bass fishing. I just started the end of last season. I caught a couple of great fish from our private lake in Northern Idaho. Now, I'm hooked! My Ol' Man bought me a Lews Smash for my birthday last December. He introduced me to bass fishing and to you.
Our lake just thawed, so I've been able to throw a line these past few days. No bites yet, just a few birds' nests. I'm learning and loving it.
Thanks for all your useful information. I lived in Oklahoma, Healdton/Ardmore area. I never fished there, though. Darn.
Would like to see some videos of California. Central California has a lot of lakes. Fishing is real good
I live these breakdowns they help me alot.
Edwin I have fished that lake. That lake fishes like two different lakes. The water above the bridge near the power plant is more clear and there is a lot of grass. Big big largemouth! Below the bridge tends to be stained most of the time. Boat docks, sea walls and boat ramps are money. Seems like ever house has their own boat ramp. I have never been to the damn but they move water from Oconee to Sinclair then pump it back into Oconee. Great fishery and thanks for your break down. You have helped me more and more with every video.
I don’t know which videos are better, these satellite imagery videos or your bait of the month videos. Great advice and preparation. Thanks E
Thanks Edwin, ever since you showed how to investigate the lakes with google earth my fishing has increased 98% more catches. Also having a trolling motor helps navigating in the small coves in the waters.
Great insight will deffinetly se this to narrow down spots for my durby this weekend !!
Let’s get a Spavinaw Lake breakdown! Really enjoyed watching the redcrest last week, and the kids thought it was awesome to see you at wolf creek Sunday. Thank you again
You are right Edwin...Google Earth Pro is addicting..it even shows time history of Rivers too. Not quite as informative as lakes, but sometimes it will show when the river(s) was really low, so you can then find sand bars and hidden creek channels to exploit when the river levels comes back to normal or above normal. Awesome tips, thanks.😊
Good job at Red Crest a couple weeks ago. Glad you find time to do these videos every month. They have helped me more than any videos out there.
Following your tips have helped me in my boat tournaments I have been fishing and have helped me enough to make the fishing fun thank you
Your question was which Lake has had more Bass caught in it, Toledo Bend or Sm Rayburn... I would say Sam Rayburn but only because the impoundment of water started roughly 18 months earlier than Toledo Bend.
Always good stuff no matter where you live!!! I’m here in East Texas as always want to nominate lake o pines sir!!! Thanks for your extensive knowledge.
Thanks for the Shasta breakdown. New Melones where I fish and a lot of the California lakes are like it. With the lake down over 100 feet, hiking a mile or two from parking and then down 45-degree, weed-covered hills to the banks and then to the water is a significant effort. Knowing what to look for so I can plan my trek is a big help. Thanks!
Ur experience is great to have,, always learning something new with you keep up the great videos next time you’re in Lake Fork you need to go check out your uncle will have a beautiful day !!!Rooster
I love this it has helped me a lot! You should do lake Livingston in Texas!
You have helped me understand bassin on so many levels in only a year I would like to see a break down of Cave Run Ky sometime sir. Thanks for your time brother 🙏
Love the lake breakdowns
Great video and very informative. But I don’t think there’s any spots in sinclair. If there is, I haven’t caught one.
Love to hear you break down Oklahoma's Lake Murray. Seems different from most of the lakes around southern OK and northern Texas.
wish i had the money to go fish other lakes just outside oklahoma just to see what all it was like to be on a different lake catching nice bass....but anyway great video e and u always give out the best information on these lakes...this info can be used on any lake ...
Love the info. Try to figure out Norris Lake in East Tennessee.
I love your lake Sinclair breakdown but I just wanted to say it has no spotted bass and is a largemouth fishery
There have been spots caught in Sinclair. I do agree that,it is primarily laregmouth! So cool to see Edwin break down my home lake!
gotcha thank you!
Thanks for the breakdown. Great video and I like the new gear.
Thanks again for everything very good video and information good fishing
This is by far my favorite series!
Love watching these videos while drinking morning coffee. Good work E2 thank you for your time in sharing your thoughts on these lake break downs.
Man, new to boat ownership and new subscriber. Really learning alot from your content. Fishing from a boat is a game changer and amazing how technical fishing gets
Great channel. Thanks for sharing and teaching!
Love your videos always help me catch fish
Look forward to these breakdowns every month!! Tight lines.
I love seeing how you approach these lake and comparing it to where I would look. Excellent stuff!
Thanks for the shoutout too. If you ever want a chase boat to film you at any tournaments in the south east, I’m there. I’ve been chasing for Scott Martin’s channel j
Thanks for the insights.
Thanks for another helpful video.
Would love to see laurel river lake ky
Very helpful!!! Thank you!
You the man! Keep up the great work and content.
I enjoy that you mention lake I’ve been too and relate to. I’m in Missouri and Oklahoma not far so hearing Loto and Table Rock. Watching your suggestions/convo really keeps me interested.
Hey Edwin!! Can you do lake texoma I have a tournament there soon! Good luck the rest of the season Edwin!
Come up a little further North to Ohio. I would love for you to break down Mosquito or West Branch res.
Love Mosquito
Edwin, enjoy your where to start series, thanks for your time and information. Glad you did a NC lake.
Once again great content. Thanks for another great video!
Great Video!! Keep putting them out!
I have been following you a lot, going to Grand next month, live near the tough Beaver, need help for Beaver.
The lake break down is awesome for new and old fisherman,, unlike us that's been fishing for a while and had to figure it out the best we could,keep up the good work and helping everyone catch fish,,still waiting to hear you break down R.L.HARRIS reservoir in wedowee Alabama..
As always great information
I just love learning about fishing. My area is heavily fished for bass right now. I’ve been fly fishing for trout to curve my appetite. Thank you for the video Mr. Eevers
Thanks E for the information it gives those of us that are weekend anglers a place to start to look for fish!
Thanks for doing these videos E2
I would like to see a breakdown on Lake Shelbyville in Illinois. Regardless of the lake you breakdown, the info and knowledge you give is used to attempt to do my own breakdowns and it is working. Thanks for all the straight forward videos.
Always good stuff Champ!
I’d love for you to do cherokee or Douglas lake in tn
I think I could even use these around my local lakes. Thanks for always going into extra detail. That’s what helps the most.
Thanks E^2
Thanks for giving insight on Jordan because that's my home lake and right now with all these cold fronts coming and going it can be a headache
Thanks so much for all the effort you put in to help your fellow fishermen.
Thanks E, I will be emailing you shortly. Congrats on the new ring and the check. It's definitely well deserved. Also you got the last name right lol.
Thanks for the awesome content! Keep it going
Good stuff Edwin can't wait for the May breakdown please include what you look for during the shad spawn . Thanks Bro
