Interpreting Mapping And Modern Marine Electronics ( To Catch More Fish )

Understanding mapping is a critical part of fishing and boating! Whether you're sitting on the couch looking for your next spot to fish, or on the boat navigating a new waterway, an understanding of mapping makes you more effective. Today we're covering some of the biggest tricks we use to navigate waters, find fish, and build patterns, very quickly.

Whether you're a novice or an expert, there is always more to know. So today we're covering everything from the basics of what a hump, point, and creek channel look like, to how we replicate a pattern across a new fishery. We're also covering some of the best tricks that use Google Maps and Google Earth to find secret spots on reservoirs.

Below you'll find links to the paper maps, mapping software, and electronics that we use on our own boats and equipment. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Fall Transition Bass Fishing On Lake Chickamauga

Come along for a day on the water! Tim is on Lake Chickamauga for the first time in a few weeks and the Fall transition is in full swing! Cooler nights have brought falling water temperatures. Add the lake level dropping in anticipation of Fall/Winter and the bass are really on the move!

Tim's plan is to target active fish and he's hoping to find frog fish as main lake grass begins to be exposed by the dropping water levels. It doesn't take long for him to start catching fish! Come along for a fun day on the water as he puts the pieces together and starts catching fish.

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear he threw throughout the day. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of the items.
