How I search for Deep Smallmouth Bass

  • In this video I break down ways to help find smallmouth bass if you are fishing over vast areas of deep water. Catching smallmouth bass is easy it is finding them that makes this a challenge at times. More than likely if I find them I can catch them. So you really just need to pull out a map and start doing some homework ahead of time. Highlight areas that look good (fishy) Steep breaks, humps, points, flats near deep water, etc. Once you find these areas it is a matter of driving around and idling tell you locate them on your electronics.

    Who is SmallmouthCrush?
    Travis Manson was born and raised in Wisconsin. He started fishing from the bank at a young age and spent most of his childhood with a rod in his hand. Travis is primarily a self-taught angler that is always learning and experiencing this amazing sport of fishing. He started out fishing for walleyes and fishing in local walleye tournaments, but then in his mid 20's, he caught the BASS BUG and has been hooked every since. He competed at the highest level in bass fishing on the Bassmaster Elite Series for a number of years. He is a full time fishing guide offering trips on the Chesapeake Bay for largemouth bass(year round) and trophy smallmouth bass guided trips in Upstate New York on Lake Ontario and the St Lawrence River. His RUclips Channel is named after his passion for the smallmouth bass and will be used as a platform for "how-to" videos, on the water instruction, crazy on and off the water topics and vlogs on the day in the life of a fishing addict! Hope you enjoy!

  • @FishcastAngling
    @FishcastAngling 3 года назад +7

    Great video! However, I own both humminbird and Garmin and I do a lot of deeper graphing (My Garmin addition is recent so not lots of experience yet)... but I don’t know that you are really giving the humminbird 2d a fair shot based off your settings (it appeared you had the birds 2d in just high chirp frequency). If that’s the case you should try putting the humminbird 2d sonar to medium/high chirp sonar frequency and not just high Chirp and then compare to the Garmin. Also prob turn your surface clutter on or up. I might be wrong but I don’t think that bird is getting a fair comparison...

    • @mattking5242
      @mattking5242 2 года назад +1

      Was going to say the same thing. The bird 2D is on the high frequency setting here. Also, the cone is more narrow with a high frequency beam which is why the school of perch is less impressive on the bird. The high frequency beam is more useful for high speed scanning. I can mark fish up on plane easily with mine.

  • @derrickhouse7063
    @derrickhouse7063 3 года назад +1

    With your setup and how deep the water is that you are scanning, you might benefit from using contour mode on the birds side imaging.

    thanks for the tricks. Are you drifting or you stay anchor? On the St-Lawrence they is so much current is hard to stay anchor, the bait is moving to much, so to have the bait no to move I have to put a heavy weight 1/2 oz to 3/4. what are you using for weight setup
