Johnny, I just got my first fish finder. In my research, I found an old-timer going through the many different structures but he talked a lot and got distracted and i didn't feel like he ever pulled it all together. Between the structures video and this one, I now feel like I can pick out spots to start scanning with my Garmin ECHOMAP. My son and I have been fishing for about a year; we do the best on ponds, and very small lakes. I can't wait to start to apply what I have learned and see how much more I will learn trying to apply it. THANKS!
Jonny made videos of this in the past, and as far as i know, he was the first to put this info out there. Shortly after, every fishing channel made a video covering it 😆
Thank you for this info. This process is going to improve my bass fishing times 10!! Love your podcast as they have helped me as well. Thanks again. You and Randy are helping weekend anglers like myself who fish when careers and families allow. Keep up the awesome work! God Bless
dang brother, as a millennial when i started watcing this video i thought you where explaining to grandpa how to use the VCR, but as it progressed i was thankful for the hand holding. Very thoughtfully explained and easy to follow.
Jonny, again you have knocked it outta the park!!! Your comprehensive and thorough explanations on catching the elusive largemouth bass far exceed anything I’ve ever read, watched, or discussed with another angler!!! You possess an unrivaled innate teaching ability that is second to none!!! I would LOVE to see a RUclips fishing tournament on a major reservoir somewhere in the country of just the young guys that have RUclips channels. There is ZERO doubt that you would win. I would like to see it in the old Bassmaster Classic style.👍😃🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣
Not sure how he and Randy teamed up but what a team. They are polar opposites,your new age tech he’s not, he’s shallow you’re offshore. I liked you for a long time but what a great move to team up with Randy!
Absolutely amazing video!!! You are so informative and explain everything in detail 😃 keep up the good work this channel is only going to get bigger and bigger!!
Just repeating what everybody else has already said but you are awesome! You have one of the most informative and helpful channels on RUclips and I thank you for your content.
A great teaching tool. I knew how to use Pro version but could never figure out how to convert waypoint file. I use a iMac, so the conversion steps are a little different but your explanation helped me figure it out on my iMac. Tried the transfer process to my Simrad Evo3 today. Worked perfect. Thanks
I know you put this video out a while back. I watched then but was waiting to get my new boat before I converted pin drops from earth pro to my graft. So I just watched it again and I’m all fixed up. Thanks a lot Johnny. Love watching you videos with all the great info. Keep up the awesome work.
Another nice video. I really enjoy your channel as you continually provide useful information for all of us. We all need to remember: Google Earth Pro is our friend. I have been using it for several years and also use the GPS visualizer with great success. It is nice to use Google Earth Pro to view all your marked fishing locations on a large screen at home. I have made an index that allows me to show where individual types of fish are caught. I number them i.e. ST=Speckled Trout and then a number i.e. 001 ST001, R= Redfish and then a number 009 R009. By using GPS visualizer I can transfer information back and forth between my Google Earth Pro program and my Lowrance HDS7 chart plotter. I even made a Microsoft Word Table with all my marked locations with GPS coordinates and other pertinent information that I take along fishing in a folder with sheet protectors to keep the paper dry in a wet environment. You are the man!!!! John
Thank you very much Johnny for explaining how to do this! I have been trying to learn how to use my lowrance 9ti and you have helped me very much with all your easy to understand videos. Again!
Jonny! Thanks so much man!!! I started finding those 'grains of rice' on my side imaging, and its changed my 'fishing' ENTIRELY! been able to hit them on first or second cast almost every time. THE BEST INFO AND NERD SITE ANYWHERE IN THE WEB! Much much thanks 😊
I was randomly recommended this video despite not watching any fishing content on RUclips. I threw it on as background noise for my video game and ended up really enjoying it! Now I think I might watch some more content and maybe go out with my dad next weekend!
You just help me so much understand my units. Great video A++++ I recommend all video Fish the Moment puts out.. I have learned so much I wish somebody I could meet you in person.. Thanks
As always Jonny, fantastic and clear info and instruction. I have downloaded hundreds of waypoints using your last video as my guide so thanks for getting us an updated version. If you can teach me this stuff, it must be clear info because I am "tech inept"! 😂👍
And I have shoes older than this guy. I don't know how I've been fishing twice as long as this guy yet have less than half of the information he has. :)
Can’t wait to start doing this!! I’ve often brought my cell phone out and cross referenced it against my navionics to find these spots but this is def a game changer. Thank you 🙏
Excellent stuff here and you even take it a step further with the how to on the web site. I think most people don't know about or overlook how beneficial Google Earth can be. Big thumbs up.
Man oh man . If I had just a pinch of your Davy on computers and fish finders , I think I could be a real bass fisherman . I need help real bad but I’m in Longbeach ms .I’m old school need hands on with help . All you showed is great .I wish I could wrap around it .
Yep! This isn’t new. I’ve actually found out why we were catching on a certain spot looking through historical data. Helps too just when you find times when the water was clearer in the image.
Now I know why Randy says you are the electronics guru. Great stuff. Now all I need is a mapping fish finder. Can be tedious transferred gps to a basic unit. Thanks 👍
Absolutely amazing hack. Thank you sir. It should help me a ton. I don’t have as much time to get out on the lake and look at my electronics since I have 3 young kids. This will make a big difference for sure.
I'm not easily impressed but Johnny you've impressed the hell outta me with your wide range of knowledge. To be so young and know so much is pretty dang impressive. Awesome job. 👊
i guess i wasnt the only one looking at your older video a few days ago and trying this out. i had the google image captured and moved over to my lowrance overlay trying to follow the creek channels that were revealed in lower level history events, but was hard to see it. Going to try the trails option and see if it works on my Touch 7-Gen 2. Thanks again for the video.
Great video Johnny. And great timing too. I was just trying to do this 2 days ago and was having some serious issues. I now know what it is that I was doing wrong and will try again. Very much appreciate the help. Thank you.
I didn’t know there was a Pro version of Google earth. I’ve always used the regular version. Pre 2008/Google earth we used the UT system of topographic maps that went back to the early 1900s you just have to understand mapping sequence marks.
Thanks for this video. Question, lets say I do this and later on a add more points of interest. Do I need to download and convert everything again or just the new points of interest, convert them and add them to the SD card?
Not a bad plan. Never used it for fishing (don't have a fish finder anyway), but I have used it several times for navigation. I find a parking lot to the location I want to go and type the coordinates to it in my GPS to ensure I don't end up at the address with no place to park (that assumes the address is accurate in the GPS as well). Street View is great for really isolating your destination.
Your videos have been the most helpful of any I’ve watched !! I live in SC and am primarily a crappie fisherman. Would The 40 waypoints you offer on our home lake that you spoke about be beneficial to me ? I’m looking for brush piles primarily to fish year round. Thanks
Is this at all adaptable for the angler not running electronics? Used to have sonar & GPS on the kayak but have simplified/reduced gear over the years, and no longer do. Is there a way to import this to the mobile Google Maps application? Perhaps to the mobile Navionics application? Awesome video. Not only informative, but well-assembled and of high production value.
Hey thanks for the vid but i do have a question. I have a Garmin striker plus 7sv and a Lowrance hook 2x 7hdi and i cant seem to figure out if they have SD card slots. Is there any chance that i might have to open up the units to put it in.
Do they seem to actually line up well when you fish them? Map projections can be a tricky thing and i noticed you didn't edit any spatial data. Great video, keep up the awesome work!
Im just starting to play with this. I have a couple questions. If upload waypoints for a lake and then take the chip out will the waypoints stay? Second question is if I want to upload more waypoints to the same lake later will the previous ones go away or add in the differences? I have a solix

This is actually a really good idea. Someone should organize this. It would get crazy amount of publicity.
Not sure how he and Randy teamed up but what a team. They are polar opposites,your new age tech he’s not, he’s shallow you’re offshore. I liked you for a long time but what a great move to team up with Randy!

Just repeating what everybody else has already said but you are awesome! You have one of the most informative and helpful channels on RUclips and I thank you for your content.
I made this same video 3 years ago way before anyone of the other big RUclipsrs. This is just an updated version.
A great teaching tool. I knew how to use Pro version but could never figure out how to convert waypoint file. I use a iMac, so the conversion steps are a little different but your explanation helped me figure it out on my iMac. Tried the transfer process to my Simrad Evo3 today. Worked perfect. Thanks

Thank you for putting this together! Great content and explanation of using these tools looking forward to catching more fish
This guy never ceases to amaze me. What a talent he has.
And I have shoes older than this guy. I don't know how I've been fishing twice as long as this guy yet have less than half of the information he has. :)
Can’t wait to start doing this!! I’ve often brought my cell phone out and cross referenced it against my navionics to find these spots but this is def a game changer. Thank you 🙏
One of the most helpful videos on fishing that I've watched. Thanks!
I rarely comment, but.... Dude! This was well-done, clear, concise, and understandable. You set a high bar for others.
Excellent stuff here and you even take it a step further with the how to on the web site. I think most people don't know about or overlook how beneficial Google Earth can be. Big thumbs up.
Man oh man . If I had just a pinch of your Davy on computers and fish finders , I think I could be a real bass fisherman . I need help real bad but I’m in Longbeach ms .I’m old school need hands on with help . All you showed is great .I wish I could wrap around it .
Excellent video and step by step instructions. Thank you Jonny!
Good stuff, been doing it for years. Good for spots and good for marking routes through timber on uncleared lakes.
Yep! This isn’t new. I’ve actually found out why we were catching on a certain spot looking through historical data. Helps too just when you find times when the water was clearer in the image.
Now I know why Randy says you are the electronics guru. Great stuff. Now all I need is a mapping fish finder. Can be tedious transferred gps to a basic unit. Thanks 👍
Dang, this was VERY helpful and extremely well narrated. Thanks!
Great video man! I really enjoyed your seminar last night. Keep providing massive value my friend!
This perfect for anglers fishing from the bank. Awesome video!
Awesome video learned things about my lake that I would never have without it.
This is incredibly helpful; boom boom boom !!!!
Would love to see a recommended list of finders that all the paths and waypoints please.
Very interesting, think I'll have to test it out. Really brings a new meaning to "doing your homework" on a body of water
Absolutely amazing hack. Thank you sir. It should help me a ton. I don’t have as much time to get out on the lake and look at my electronics since I have 3 young kids. This will make a big difference for sure.
89 dislikes?? Why? Cuz you can't figure out how to save files?? Great video and easy to follow.
I'm not easily impressed but Johnny you've impressed the hell outta me with your wide range of knowledge. To be so young and know so much is pretty dang impressive. Awesome job. 👊
Watch this a while back. Got a computer for Xmas 😹 my fist program to down load.. thank you for a great video 😺
i guess i wasnt the only one looking at your older video a few days ago and trying this out. i had the google image captured and moved over to my lowrance overlay trying to follow the creek channels that were revealed in lower level history events, but was hard to see it. Going to try the trails option and see if it works on my Touch 7-Gen 2. Thanks again for the video.
Johnny, OUTSTANDING video with lots of great information. Thanks so much for sharing this!
This is great stuff had to pause and catch up a lot but that because I’m not a computer wiz. Thank you so much for helping my fishing results
Great video Johnny. And great timing too. I was just trying to do this 2 days ago and was having some serious issues. I now know what it is that I was doing wrong and will try again.
Very much appreciate the help. Thank you.
You're a genious man!!! Thanks a lot from Spain, I appreciate you.
Makes this process super easy. Thanks again!
Wicked. Love the website. You are creating an amazing business. I love to see it!! Innovator!
Thanks for taking time time to explain this brother. It's appreciated!!
Way cool! Was able to see an old map of a lake I fish today. I now realize that I am not finding the deeper spots!
I just asked this question. A few days ago . Thanks so much for making this vid!!! Thumbs waaaaaaay up
Thank you!!! I found some hidden rock humps just giving a quick look around!!
Is there an easy way to get the data input into the Navionics phone app? Great video by the way!!
Thank you for explaining this. This is very valuable information.
Been waiting for this video. Thank you
This was a very useful video. Thank you.
I learn something new every video he does.
Thanks so much Johnny .eventually I will get it with your help .
I didn’t know there was a Pro version of Google earth. I’ve always used the regular version. Pre 2008/Google earth we used the UT system of topographic maps that went back to the early 1900s you just have to understand mapping sequence marks.
Great video- obvi will not work for every lake- but a great tool none the less.
Thanks for this video. Question, lets say I do this and later on a add more points of interest. Do I need to download and convert everything again or just the new points of interest, convert them and add them to the SD card?
I have been waiting for this VIDEO!!! you are killing it keep it up!!!
Great information. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
@fishthemoment - thanks so much. Just one more great tip you've shared. Motivates me to get better at using my electronics.
Such great info as always!!
Ok really glad to find this and your site. Thanks for your hard work. I’ll be using this.
You're a good teacher. Thanks!
Nicely made content and thanks for sharing once again!
The free information is so incredible. Thank you!
I really thank you for helping all of us / Randy too
Great video. Thank you for taking the time to put this together.
You explain things very well Johnny. 👍👍
Awesome info and content! Thank you!
VERY HELPFUL BROTHER. Thank you very much
Wow awesome video. I've shared this with my friends to start following you.
Nice update to your previous video Jonny!
Absolutely brilliant. Thank you for being so giving with your information 👍

Can you show a video of what it looks like when you have loaded it into the fishfinder please.
simple to understand.. thank you sir
Not a bad plan. Never used it for fishing (don't have a fish finder anyway), but I have used it several times for navigation. I find a parking lot to the location I want to go and type the coordinates to it in my GPS to ensure I don't end up at the address with no place to park (that assumes the address is accurate in the GPS as well).

Any difference of using a KMZ file vs. KML? GPSVisualizer will convert a KMZ to a GPX and seems to work well on my Lowrance Ti2.
Google earth wizard... good stuff man 🤙
You are a great teacher. Thank you
This is brilliant! I'll start using this right away.
Thank you very much Johnny!!
Thank you for the update, professor!
Good stuff Jonny! 👊🏼💯🇺🇸
Thanks for the tips my friend!
Really wonderful info. Thanks so much
Great info!
Thank you for creating this content!!
Pure genius! Thank you.
Awesome video, as always! Great work!
very good guide. Works great.
Getting ready to put all this info to use next weekend. 👍
Flat bill cap Jonny!! Hilarious. Longtime viewer
Can this same thing be done with Navionics desktop maps? Saving on desktop and transferring to the boat?
I'm new to fishing. Why would I want to know about the structures other to preventing beaching the boat ?
Your videos have been the most helpful of any I’ve watched !! I live in SC and am primarily a crappie fisherman. Would The 40 waypoints you offer on our home lake that you spoke about be beneficial to me ? I’m looking for brush piles primarily to fish year round. Thanks
Does the path show on humminbird units? I have a 899 si. Appreciate all you do
