Fall fishing and suspended bass go hand in hand. In this video, I show you how I use my fish finder to locate bass in deep standing timber on Table Rock Lake and catch post-front bass on a swimbait. I also share some offshore fishing techniques and explain where to fish in the fall in deep, clear lakes. Hope you enjoy the tips!

Where is that hair jig sold?
I'm not sure I'd consider a 1.75lb Spot a "GOOD ONE THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!"
🤔😅
this was great watching it , i would have thought a jerkbait would have been a good choice, like what patrick walters did on latest elite
Hot cocoa scented worm and a chicken noodle soup scented rage craw is the ticket in that cold mess!🥶
Love your channel! I'm a neighbor of yours, I call Bull Shoals home! I know you're a fan of the black max baitcasters. What about spinning reels?
Hey Johnny ! What was the water temp in this vid ?
What are your favorite lakes to fish in Arkansas? I just moved to Cabot and would love to hear your opinion.
With winter coming, it would be good to have a video on winter clothes, gloves, and other apparel.
Another Great video. Looking forward to seeing video on sensitivity on graphs. Keep them coming. Go Tigers!!
Thank you for sharing a lot of knowledgement about offshore fishing.
Another Great Video! This may be a dumb question, but how do you deal with applying these techniques when you are trying to position yourself relative to some offshore structure and the wind (or current I suppose) is significantly moving your boat. Perhaps those conditions are not ideal for offshore jig fishing. I suppose one of those trolling motors synced to GPS would be helpful as well. Would love to hear your thoughts.
Hi Jonny, I like the idea of trying either all offshore, or all of shallow, just to see how the results go. 🙂
Hey Johnny,
What type mount is you camera mounted on? Im in need of one, thanks
Well done!!!! I really enjoy this series…. and all the other videos as well. I went out today and used your tip on casting left and right and by the end of the day was able to get with in two feet of my target with the left cast. Your tip on hand position was right on. Thanks and keep teaching me!
I have a lowrance elite5 ti only fish ponds and lakes no deeper than maybe 80ft but the majority 7to 15 having trouble figuring out what settings
I’ve had so much trouble this fall as I have been bank fishing and moving around is so much more difficult
Do you have trouble feeling the bite with those gloves, especially when jig fishing? I’ve always been afraid to wear gloves even when really cold.
What brand gloves are you using? Do they keep your hands warm?
Great video! I think you should up the challenge to 4hrs. 3hrs goes so fast!
How do you know the fall rate of your lures? I find myself trying to target suspended fish but I don't know if I'm in the strike zone or they aren't biting. The struggle is real
This is my favorite series. Seeing how you adapt under pressure and quickly zero in on a pattern gets me excited to hit the water again. There is so much bass fishing info out there that it can be overwhelming so seeing you quickly declutter to a couple techniques is very informative. I might attempt some tournaments this season just because of this series giving me the kick in the pants I needed.
Jonny you truly are a "bass-nerd". Thanks for all you do.
I just want to say i like all your videos before i watch them, simply because this is the most informative bass channel around.
Do the water clarity matter whether you fish offshore or shallow?
Oh well, go back in the eve, and probably do better
FTM, what was water temp?
I think that second spot is where jocumsen won bassmasters right….that's always loaded. You are great at what you do hope to see you on the water
These are my favorite videos! All of them are great but the 3 hour challenge is the best as we get to peek inside your thought process while you are on the water. Excellent!
This on the water content is great. The addition of how the sonar plays into strategy is huge. Well done. Pace yourself on the volume of vids. You'll burn out quickly at 5-6 videos a week.
Always nice information! Keep it up.
Love the enthusiasm and catches! Even though u didn't limit, keep it up. We all have tough days, great content though! 👌
wish I had 3 hours to fish! lol
Good tip on adjusting your sensitivity to locate them in the trees!It was a tough day and I often find myself taking that gamble for bigger ones on days like that also.Cold water fishing is definitely frustrating sometimes.
