One of the hardest things to do as anglers is break down a new body of water. This is one of the top questions that I get and so I decided to make a video series devoted to this one thing.
Not only do I believe that I will become a better angler because of this, but I believe you will too!
BassFishingHQ is dedicated to teaching people how to catch more and bigger bass. I will go over different bass fishing tips & techniques that will put more fish in the boat or on the shore. Whether you are just starting out or a seasoned tournament angler, my goal is to help you catch more bass.

Welcome to NC
Breaking down a new lake is really hard in prespawn!!! I like your video!!
Great video and content. Just because you have forward facing sonar doesn’t guarantee you’ll catch them like a lot of people think. Thank you for what you do. Very helpful.
Hey bubba if fishing was easy they wouldn't have tournaments because everyone would win. You gave it ago and this time the lake won. Keep your head up and may the sun be at your back and the wind in your face.
Awesome content
My favorite part is even thought you "failed", you still shared it with us. It lets people know that even the best among us have tough days....which is something a lot of other channels just simply gloss over. Thank you, Tyler
The new lake experience is always a challenge. My favorite part was around the 15.30 minute mark. Discouraging part with the song lol. Catching 5 fish is never guaranteed 😂.
My favorite part is the lake itself. I live in Oregon now but I'm from NC about an hour from Sharon harris
As someone who has casually fished for a long time but just started to get serious about bass fishing, it's such a great reminder that even the seasoned vets struggle at times. When you landed the first and thought you might be on to something, and then nothing... story of my life.
I like that you posted even if you didn’t slay it on the water. Too often do CZcamsrs only post when they have amazing days. That sets most people up for disappointment. Not only that, you kept your spirits high and didn’t give up. You analyzed what happened that day instead of saying “I don’t know what went wrong”. Learning from a day on the water is critical to improvement. Good work 👍🏻
Honestly my favorite part is the end keeping your courage and confidence up it's hard out there I've been hitting it pretty dry spell on fish these past few months and my confidence has gone down that's my favorite part of it no one that you got to keep your courage and your confidence up, and stay focus that is the main key to catching bass
I love your channel because of how honest and real you are. Many other fishing CZcamsrs would scrap videos like this but I appreciate you showing that fishing isn’t always catching.
My favorite part is when you said this is what fishing is really like. Couldn’t have said it any better it’s called fishing not catching. It’s all about those moments when you actually successfully catch a bunch of fish is what makes it all worth the while of going and putting the time into it.
I'm a traditional salt water angler who has discovered the world of bass fishing. Yesterday I fished lake Jordan next to where you were and had a pb. Love your direct style and simple delivery of bass fishing information. "More steak and less sizzle" appeals to me and makes me return to your channel. Keep up the good work and if you want to experience the combination of fresh and salt water fishing head to the Carolina coastal town if Wilmington and I'll put you on some fish.
Lake break down is a great series. The use of maps and aerial shots is a big tool. Getting to visually see what you’re explaining.
great video sir, really like the effort in the editing and the storytelling. Not everyone puts that much effort for their subs. Not the best day of fishing but everytime is a learning experience, thanks for sharing with us that sometimes great fisherman have bad days too.
Fished all my life (72 years) but got away from it for a few years. I'm trying to catch up on what I've missed (line, rods, reels, lures) the past 15 years. I found BassFishingHQ this morning and have watched 7 videos so far today. I really like your teaching and presentation. Thank you!
My favorite part of this video is the fact that you failed to reach your goal but made it and let it realistic. In my opinion television and other CZcamsr’s are starting to ruin the real expectations of fishing - catching on every cast, or catching 50lb bags, etc. Thanks for keeping it real.
Your videos have always been next level, providing a ton of content in a good amount of time. The editing and post is icing on the cake. Favorite part? When you failed! Haha, it's nice seeing that even professionals like you don't always meet your goals. At least you hooked up on 3, I probably wouldn't have found any if I were in your shoes.
I love these videos that show your thought process while breaking down a lake. Keep up the awesome work! We all appreciate it
My favorite part is the mental fortitude. I couldn’t tell you how many times I’ve been on the water telling my self “Do you even fish?” “Is this my first time?” “You have thousands in gear and tackle and that’s it”
The mind game is the toughest part of fishing.
I think my favorite part was at 6:40 or so when you caught your first fish and there was "hope" for a pattern and success. Having said that, it was good to see that someone of your skill level also has days that don't always pan out the way we'd like them to. Thanks for sharing and taking the time to put out such a high quality video product. Your videos are appreciated.
I like this idea for a series. It's great to see your process and strategies for breaking down a lake. My favorite part was when you mentioned how pinch points are obvious, yet great places to search for bass. I'm not fortunate enough to own a bass boat, so I do a lot of bank fishing. And bridges are my go to, especially in the summer when they provide shade.
Keep up these style of videos, Tyler.
This type video is the most helpful content for your subscribers. It’s very relatable (we all have tough days, especially on new water) and helpful to see your pre-trip planning and to see how you put those plans into play when you get to the lake. Thanks so much for doing this video and I hope to see more.
I lost my dad in 2021 and he is the reason I LOVE fishing!! I’m the gal ( grandma) in a kayak. My shoulder cant handle paddling anymore so I just bought a small boat with a motor. I always love when the guys on the lake with all their fancy gear, fish finders, etc and they are asking what my magic bait is because they are watching me reel them in out of a little red kayak. I also say….” Dad gum it “ because my dad always used that expression! I’m watching how you handle your baitcaster reel because I just purchased my first one! Love when the lake is glasslike❤ where you are fishing. I also talk to the fish I catch.
It's good to know that I am not the only one that spends a day out fishing and doesn't really get into much success, even though I fish all over the lake. I love how you share what you have learned and your insights into your bass fishing techniques. Showing how you move all over different parts of the lake gives me courage to do the same.
That really was a great video. It's very clear that you puts hours and hours of effort into it and it shows! I'm glad that you showed how sometimes things don't pan out the way we like for them to. That's probably the most important lesson fishing has to teach us.
Love the channel Tyler! It is nice to know someone with so much experience can still have a hard day of fishing. Without the hard days the good day wouldn’t be as good.
Just like many tournaments, the bass show their unpredictability. The on the water videos are always better content when possible as we like to see techniques in action, even when the fish are not cooperating. The great Jimmy Houston has commented many, many times on how many hours it sometimes takes to film enough footage for a single tv episode. Great video! Keep moving forward!!
My favorite part about this series is the fact that you're going to these bodies of water "blind" and keeping it real. There's a lot of channels that "doctor" their content. You don't, and that is commendable.
I loved how that crankbait bite on the rip rap went from a "is that a fish" to both hands on the rod getting pulled hard. Those moments you hook a good one are not predictable but they keep us coming back for more and are extra special on the tough days.
It’s important to experience failure as a part of growth, professionally and personally. Thank you for being open and transparent and not just putting some glitter on a reel to get views.
I'm a new bass angler on a new (to me) lake fishing the back seat with an experienced boater in a local tournament trail. Much of the time I'm researching your channel for proper gear for presenting the right bait depending on the lake conditions. I've become a better angler using your real-life advice, and our boat almost always limits out. Thanks for sharing your stories of triumph and moments of misery! I owe ya!
Thank you for sharing with us. As a newer boating fisherman this series really helps me break down a lake. Wish i had bigger lakes like this with the larger creek arms. Most of my lakes in northern illinois are pretty shallow and are surrounded by houses. Come out to the chain o lakes out here and do a lake break video. Id love to see that!
My favorite part is just breaking down a new body of water. I struggle with that mightily. I tend to stick with patterns that I think should work too long. I love the channel. Don't be discouraged. That's what it's called fishing and not catching. Keep the vids coming!
Fishing ain't just catching it's about being out there and loving every moment! This video shows that even if you have an idea of how they behave you still have to find them then get the bite. Be grateful for your time on the water. 😊
Hell of a video. The breakdown of the lake. The persistence. Some days you give it all on a lake but it doesn’t gift you what you’d like but that’s all part of it. Any day on the water is a good day.
My favorite part was how you constantly talk through your reasoning on why you are doing something or what you are thinking at a particular time. As a young angler this really benefits me by helping me learn the why behind a lot of things you and other anglers do. Thank you for the amazing content as always. Keep it up!
I love the honest representation of how fishing can go sometimes, that with the clearly laid out educational portions makes BassFishingHQ one of my favorite fishing channels. Thank you!
My favorite part of the video is where you take time throughout to explain your reasoning behind the choices you made. It helps give insight and that extra bit of knowledge to anglers who may not have the experience/knowledge that you have. Being a fairly new angler myself your videos help me in every way possible and for that I thank you Tyler!
My favorite part is how humble you stayed even after the lake kicked your butt, we’ve all been there before where we think it’s all going to work and it does not go as planned , love all your content it is always very helpful, thanks so much Tyler
My favorite part is that you never gave up and gave it your all and you still got fish and that you have no excuses. One day you are gunna look back when you figure out that lake and just be like what was I doing😂
My favorite part of the video is the video itself. In fact, it show how fishing is about enjoying your day and having fun more than catching a ton of fish. It also cool to see that you still posted your video even tho you didn’t achieved your goal, most CZcamsr wouldn’t have done the same.
This is a great video. I love that you show uncensored how it feels to fish a tourney and its just grasping at straws. You're doing everything correct just not getting the bites. This is the story of my life for sure! Keep up the great work and do not get discouraged. Please keep making this video series!
My favorite thing about you and this video is your honesty. You posted this even though you failed. A lot of content creators wouldn’t be so honest. Keep it comin!
Great video. I sent this to a friend of mine who is emphatic about purchasing livescope to prove to him that even someone with extensive experience with the device isn't always going to load the boat and crush competition. Many factors are at play in the world of bass fishing, not just electronics. He is of the opinion that having it will allow him to dominate in tournaments and I cannot convince him that is just not the case. Keep sharing content, greatly appreciated.
My favorite part was the fact that I got to see somebody who I think is a good fisherman not succeed and that reassures me how tough bass fishing can actually be. Makes me feel better because I have those tough days too that make me think that I suck at fishing.
I really like and enjoy how raw you are in you videos. Your not out there showing that rod bend with a double digit fish. You caught a 1.3lb fish and was excited about a fish in the boat. That's what it really is all about. Fish on man!
Another great video! Looking forward to the next video. The weather, water temp can always make bass fishing tuff in the spring.
Such a great real video. Really appreciate watching your process and that you were not afraid to show me that 3 fish in 8 hours doesn’t get yah down. It is amazing how all the bites can come in 10 minutes of a whole day.
First let me thank you for the FINN gloves. I have had AFTCO and the monkey and honestly neither compares. As all the comments say YOU are GREAT at what you do. And I can tell that you really freaking LOVE it! You go above and beyond to find answers to help us, and all on your dime. What you do is very admirable! There are very few channels that I will watch a video more than once. I find myself watching many of yours multiple times. But to answer your question my favorite part is always THE FISH!! Thank you brother.
I enjoyed you sharing your game plan. It shows how much time you take to devise a game plan in order to achieve success. Most people just go out with no plan or anything. You can’t always rely on “luck.”
My favorite part was finding the bank that wasn’t anywhere else on the lake. OK, we knew what you meant, but most banks are only one place on a lake. 😂 15:44 Following a yucky tasting kiss on a fish, and a “Suck It Up” bass fishing song, it was setting the stage for a truly entertaining finish to the day.
Thanks for the good vid!
I really enjoyed how you broke down the lake into workable sections, graphing along the way. The end where you say, "this is fishing" is so true! Love it!
You learn most from your bad days on the water.
Breaking down the water was best part to me.
Thank you.
Loved the video. Learn a lot from all of your videos and still learning at 81 yrs. old. While I enjoy watching you catch fish, it's really helpful to me to see you struggle on a tough day. That's what a lot of my days look like and it's so easy to get discouraged.
As mentioned before my favorite part is that you’re willing to show us the fails. As they are they best learning opportunities for oneself. Keep up the great content! I enjoy your humbleness and simplicity to bass fishing.
My favorite part is the honesty about fishing, fishing highlights can obscure the reality of actually fishing and the process of finding and catching fish that goes for any species great video
Best part is your honesty. That goes for ever since I've watched you. Fishing is tough and alot of people don't understand that. You really drive that home for me. And your from Ohio, I'm from Michigan. Keep up the great videos!
I like that you keep it real. Most fishing shows cut out the struggle and candy coat the show.
The nice thing about a bad day fishing is that you’re still out on a lake and you’re still always learning. I learn from you and it’s nice to see videos where you’re not dragging 7lb ers over the side of the boat for 15 min straight and then tell me how easy it is 😂
Thanks for the great video
The absolutely best type of u tube video anyone can make for bass fishing. Period Thanks
My favorite part of the video is that when you lost all hope you kept on trying new things to try and get a bite. That is where I loose some motivation when it comes to fishing....way to keep after it! Thanks for all the videos and hard work! You motivate me to keep trying new things with fishing! Keep up the content!!
My favorite part was you never gave up. I’ve had many trips to new lakes just like that. But it’s that one good trip that keeps us going.
I've only really been fishing for a couple years now. I have learned most of my fishing knowledge from you. I have fished all winter trying to practice on techniques with different lures. Now that the water has warmed up I've been catching fish almost every time I'm out. I'm teaching my boys to fish too. Thank you.
Watching Pro's break down a lake and try to find and catch or not is still so much better than just watching anyone catch fish after fish. Especially when its all pre planed maybe they tried for days before finding fish but don't show that. Please keep this up.
My favorite part of the video was you explaining your strategy going into the day. I recall hearing you talk about the lake arms and highways in many other videos so it was nice to see you trying to apply that strategy on a new lake.
The bag is still a win🎉 good job Mr. Bass fishing HQ!! Thank you for the rod opportunity!! Please keep making awesome videos and educational bass fishing videos! And “no pun intended” should be part of your weekly video.😂
I love the fact that you keep it real w your subscribers even on tough fishing days, it makes for more relatable content and the breakdown on what structures you look for to catch fish rlly helps me down here in SoCal👊🏽🤙🏽
I always appreciate your insight on how to plot the lake to find where the bass are hiding, especially on a lake you have never fished before. Too bad you didn't make your goal, but I think one viewer will be very happy you didn't! Thanks for the video Tyler! Keep'em coming!
Best part has to be watching as we do so all of us viewing can zone out picturing ourselves putting a great goal in front of us as you constantly do and strive for it no matter what hits ya out there, conditions gear failure time etc.I dont see a fail I see the love of fishing and dedication to the sport and us in general.
Favorite part was a positive attitude and just being grateful to be fishing! And stating that fishing is fishing its not always the best day but enjoy. And also new techniques for new waters!
Boy you got me excited when you announced my home! 🥳 0:26
My favorite part was the explanation of how you think about breaking down a new lake, helps me to learn how to fish even in familiar waters!
My fav part about the video is how you didnt get complacent with how the day was going and just stuck to one section tossing the same stuff. You kept changing and kept searching. Thats an attribute of a pro angler
This is going to be a great series. Can’t wait to see the other lake breaks!! Favorite part is the realness of the whole day. Far too many times we experience the struggle of finding the bite and it’s reassuring that a great angler like yourself does have those same struggles AND you’re willing to share them as a teaching moment, not only to the benefit of viewers but to yourself as well as you perfect your own angling prowess. Thank you for teaching us all Tyler.
My favorite part of the video is how just catching a little guy cam keep your sanity. When days are tough just a fish or 2 is still worth a day on the water.
I cannot express how much I appreciate your sharing the lake break down thought process. Your teaching style and explanations are great. I also appreciate you are not completely focused or reliant upon your electronics. You were using all the tools available which is a great example to all beginner/intermediate bass anglers such as myself. Probably the most useful thing I gain from experts is how quickly they will move on when fishing is slow. I see people running banks all day in the same locations week after week regardless of the time of year and I see people patrolling and sitting on the "community off shore hot spots". I am hoping to one day to put it all together where I can go beyond the local knowledge and find fish is less well known areas of the lake through a process of elimination combined with educated approximation on location and depth while using electronics to locate structure, cover, bait and fish. Although this day was not an active bite it is nice to know that even the experts have a slow day from time to time. Your channel is a must see for me.
what I like most about posts like this, is not every day is a day filled with giants. the authenticity of posting failure as well is amazing. if it was easy everyone would do it.
My favorite part of this video is your tune you sang. We’ve all been there, talking to ourselves, being discouraged, and mutter something to the our buddy in the boat to keep it lighthearted.
I enjoy all aspects of you vids. Graphics, storylines, and how you put them all together.
Really think you’re data based videos as of late should be watched by every fisher.
Thanks for your honesty and not editing the video. It is actually very encouraging to see you have the same struggles catching fish on certain days just like me. Sometimes the fish win!😂
Tyler if you ever feeling too discouraged, just take me fishing and you’ll realize how good you are 😂. I have more tough days than good days, but we always come back for more. If it wasn’t for channels like yours I’d be even more lost
I really like that you didn't quit. You keep trying. Admire your positive attitude. Enjoy all your videos.
My favorite part was gaining knowledge on breaking down a body of water. As a beginner angler, I need more info like this. I really enjoy your videos and have become a better angler because of them. Thank you!
favorite part was when you said your sending someone that rod and reel! lol - no seriously i liked when you were at the bridge and cranking and didn't even realize you had a fish on. we all have had that moment bass fishing when we go, IS THAT A FISH? YES IT IS A FISH! really enjoyed visiting with you in Columbus! Have a blessed day brother!
What a great video. What made it great for me is that i have old school skills to find fish. Just a striker 4 nothing fancy and get jealous of people that have great boats and equipment. It show me that old school way with all the equipment doesn't always produce fish. You rely still on temp. Visual. Barometric Preasure . Water color, time of year, and fishing knowledge to get the job done along with your equipment. Makes me feel more confident that i am not doing anything wrong. Thanks for showing that video. Fishing is truly fishing. Love your videos
Loved the postive attitude, "this is fishing". There're good days and bad days, just have to keep getting ourselves out there.
It’s nice to see a video that is true to how fishing really is. I’ve had more days like this than i care to talk about. Bass fishing can be so humbling. Thanks again
Much like my less than fruitful fishing days, it's always a learning experience. Being that I struggle a little too often with new bodies of water, the best part of this video for me was that it reassured to see that even someone with as much fishing knowledge as you isn't always shredding it every single experience. Just started fishing last year and I'd like to say I'm self-taught, but that wouldn't be true because your videos have been guiding me along the way. PB so far is a 5 pounder from a pond earlier this year, but I'm looking forward to more of your content that'll help me pump up those rookie numbers. Keep em comin!
My favorite part of the video is when explained that this is just how fishing is. Even though you didn’t complete your mission I still learned a lot from you.
want to say you are truly one of my favorite fishing creators
You are very genuine and passionate about bass fishing and you don't only have allot of knowledge about it
but you also know how to break it down and teach it in a way anyone can understand which is talent in itself.
So I would say I like how you explain your thought process in your vid.
It's easy to see you take pride in what you do
I love these kind of videos. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I like your mind set about what to fish and how long to do it. Post frontal is tough for anyone. At least you were out on the water enjoying life.
I have fished for at least 50 years of my life(probably more). This year I have made a real effort to catch bigger and more large bass in the exact method you were illustrating. Pre-spawn into spawn and have come home skunked more then any pervious year. Being a plastics, worm fisherman and learning to try more then 3 or 4 lures. it is humbling to see a honest hard fisherman encounter the same things I have for the past 4 weeks, but with a little more luck. Given you caught 3. 69 and still trying to learn everyday!! Tight lines and good luck.
Because of you, Brother, I gave arc trust my trust I ordered two catalyzes to lancer pros, one Thorpe series, Money Maker, and one Brandon Carr, Brad, I love them I got them paired beautifully with a regal, spinning reel a Revo, X, and a Corrado and a Shimano SLX for the treble hooks on the medium rod, so I’m not ripping the hooks out of their mouth or Rippin lips away or are the roads are butter bro and you always keep it real in your videos and that’s what I like about it even if it’s a fail or miss or something you misinterpret like a pit boss, you know that skeet Reese was behind it, but he said something different, a different angler, and I commented, and you corrected it!
But what makes your channel and you who you are , who you are because you keep it real tie you are a good man and I love how you set up competitive moments within your own practice system that pays off and competitive moments no matter how the competitions working do you wanna friend local tournament or a local derby help youngsters out, take care of brother I would love to win and so with a lot other people that watch you take care brother I wish you the best man and stay safe😊 God bless
As a beginner who just got my first boat just over 1 month ago. I appreciate the transparency. I will go out on my local lake and fish a whole evening to get 1 fish. Still a lot to learn Thank you for the videos
I appreciate your honesty...you didn't hit your goal and you didn't make excuses...you owned it...had fun and taught us something...so my favorite part of this video is you just staying true to yourself and your passion.
Dude! I do the same "talk to yourself, KNOWING you sound nuts if anyone is listening" chatter! Love it. I PROMISE to take good care of her, man. Lol. In all honesty, thanks for sharing. Love your breakdowns.
My favorite part is when u said " that's fishing" because I keep goin out and spend the whole day only catching a fish and that helps me to see maybe I'm not just a terrible fisherman lol. Thanks for the content and the advice really appreciate it and it has helped me a lot.
I like how even though sometimes you may not have the best days of fishing you still show everything that happens when a water, any clues you might catch onto or any patterns you might stumble upon, or just the plain old sucky days of only catching a few here and there. You show the good and the bad and I appreciate that...
My favorite part was you explaining in how you tackle a new lake. I'm a total beginner and have no idea what i should do to prep so it was very helpful!!
Awesome video Tyler. I definitely appreciate the transparency of this video. It goes to show, that even anglers that have been doing this for years have days that some of us experience quite often. I had two outings where I got skunked before catching my PB, so it's super important not to get discouraged and always remember to have fun. As always, thanks for the content!
I love how you educate your viewers, it helps us to catch more fish. I really liked how you did this challenge. This relates to a lot of new fishermen how are just learning where to fish on a lake. Thank you
This is my home lake. 4 years ago I could consistently catch 5,6, and even semi-regularly 8 lb bass. Now, I'm lucky if I catch anything at all. Like you said, the north end of the lake is also much different than the southern end. It's generally deeper, but I've caught all my northern fish in shallow water. The southern end is shallower, but I only get bites on deep structure. Doesn't seem to matter much what the weather or season is.
I have two favorites.. actually seeing a fail. That's real fishing. It felt like me some days, even on my home lake. Some would have edited or never shown all the work (and fun) in that day of fishing. It's refreshing to see someone keeping it so real. The other favorite is seeing where to get your hat lol. I'm heading over there now!
As always, you taking the time to share what you’ve learned with us is very much appreciated . Favorite part, stressing that every day is different. Developing confidence in an array of techniques to target fish as they are “moving” depending on the specific conditions encountered on any given time of day or body of water. Much peace y’all.
I love that you show the entire process of fishing a new lake including google maps.
