Maximizing your fishing day by targeting bass in deeper water during the seasons where bass tend to go deep. John will teach you what he's learned from his years of experience about fishing offshore structure to catch bass, which is primarily, but not exclusively done in summer and winter.

It's important to note that "deep" is relative, while it's not uncommon to see fish in 100ft. plus in clear West Coast lakes, it's far less common in shallower impoundments and rivers commonly found on the East Coast. John will help you understand how to determine "deep" for your home body of water, but many of the same principals apply, whether "deep" is 15ft or 100ft. On of those things is the need for electronics and maps.
John Murray covers some of the following topics in this 45-minute seasonal deep water fishing video:
