Got on Conroe and managed to catch some good ones last week. Would love to hear feedback on the video and hear what you like/dislike to be able to make better videos in the future. Thanks for your time and tight lines!

Very good video. Sorry, something is wrong with my sound on videos; so I was looking for visuals to get all the information that I needed. I miss a lot of stuff without sound. - I saw the worm and hook. - Needed to see the whole rig from weight, leader and if the weight was pegged or not. - Needed to see the brush pile on the depth finder screen and how the fish were setting up on it. - Noticed you kept driving back up to the area. Or; was that different brush piles you were moving to? Just was wondering why you weren't using spot lock? - I do a lot of drifting across areas with all electronics and TM turned off once the boat is in position. Was this a factor?

Thanks for the comment, that's something I'll try to incorporate into future videos. I did not have the weight pegged, I think the separation between the weight and worm gets more bites and better hookups. No leader, straight 20# flourocarbon. I definitely will try to get some clips of how the bass and bait are setting up on the brush pile, nice tip! I was driving from spot to spot, was trying to show how it was just one-fish piles. I was using spot lock and trying to position downwind of the brush pile to be able to cast at it effectively. I'm not sure I understand your last point but I usually do turn off the console electronics once I get up to the trolling motor. Very good video.

You seemed to drift off of your spot each time you caught a fish. Then you would be idling back up to it. At the same time I never saw you concentrating on the depth finder to do that. Just couldn't figure it out.

Just couldn't figure it out. I would pull up to the waypoint after graphing it or just pulling up and hit spot lock once I got to 75ft. Once I hit a pile I don't get off spotlock until I leave to go to a different spot. I usually only focus on my depth finder for this type of fishing when I am looking at my GPS to be able to line up and get the right distance away.

This is a good video...looks like you're having fun out there for sure. The comments in this thread will make your videos more "sell-able" meaning you will get more views if you focus on teaching as well as catching.
Good luck out there my friend.

When are you going to post all of this info with fish youโre catching?
