How to Break Down A Lake From Home Bass Fishing 101
In this video I show you guys how I use Navionics and google earth to help me find high percentage fishing spots before I even get to the lake. Hope you enjoy it and send me a lake near you and I might break it down in my next video. #fishgarmin #garminpro

I am not really into fishing ran across your video very educational so I am a new sub I am enjoying this my husband and I have a v dive boat be careful out there
Hey I have no idea why I'm just know seeing this since it's been on here for over a year, I watch most all of your videos and you do a really great job of explaining things so people that don't really fish as much as some of us do. Great job with all your content. Oh by the way, you got anything on Douglas Lake in East Tennessee? My buddy's have a derby there April 11. If not that's fine. Keep up the good work. Stay safe out there on and off the water. Tight lines and Semper Fi!
Never seen anyone do ohio lakes . How about alum creek outside of Columbus ohio
Thanks some good juice. Thanks Hallman
Excellent instructional breakdown.
Great insight, thanks for sharing!! Would love to hear about Percy Priest, TN!!
I am so glad I stumbled upon your channel. Great information without all the bravado that some have.
Would love to see more information on southwest Clearwater lakes. Az, Southern California
I fish Ellsworth and Lawtonka as they’re just up the road from my house. Watching you break down this lake as fast as you did is pretty awesome. That brush line you found is one of my go to spots on Ellsworth. If you ever get the chance, come back down and fish lawtonka. You won’t be disappointed
I’ve heard that! Appreciate you sharing
Love this I learned a lot from this video
Good deal!
Lake ray Roberts
How about a breakdown on Alum Creek Lake, OH (north of Columbus)? I'm going this Spring for the first time.
Would love to see something in south Florida. South of Orlando/Kissimmee, something in Highlands County would be awesome!!
Love this 💪🏻
Hey Mr. Hallman, would you be interested in breaking down my lake? Its in the North. Pennsylvania, Lake Raystown. I would be interested in your view points. Thanks, Matt (AKA; closet Hallman fan!..) lol
@Bradley Hallman Your welcome. Have a great season!
I need to get around to another lake breakdown soon. Appreciate the suggestion
If you have time would you be able to do Deer Creek lake in Ohio
I’m sorry I’ve been so busy
Bro you seem like a great person. I fish tournaments as a boater but when it comes to the bigger tournies like flw, u.s. open I fish as a non boater. Yes we all want to win but I always respect the boater and never want to give him a reason to have a gripe with me. You seem like the same kind of person. God bless you and I hope you have a fantastic 2021.
Appreciated
Can you breakdown lake hartwell in South Carolina
Blue back lakes are hard brother. I need to another breakdown soon! Maybe
Got one in Missouri. 1700 acre lake. One major river channel then two major creeks. Grew up on the lake. Love the lake. Would like to see how you attack it. Clearwater lake in peidmont, Missouri.
I've used this technique of both maps a lot. If there was an app that provides a way to overlay Navionics on Google Earth then that would be awesome. Anybody know any computer nerds?!? I got money for em 🤑
We all do!!! Hit up Clark Rehem he can do it if you have certain units!
I enjoyed the why behind the location chosen.....I live in NE Arkansas.....smaller flat lakes
Thanks Tom
Great content. Lake Ray Robert’s would be an interesting breakdown. I’ve struggled a lot out there.
Thanks Josh I will look into Ray Robert
Very cool, thanks for the lesson!!!!
Yes Sir!
Hey Mr Hallman Would love to see you break down Lake Catoma it’s in Cullman Alabama (Roll Tide) But it’s a city lake it has giants in it but would love to see how you would break it down
Thanks for the suggestion!
I’d love for you to do sante fe lake in Florida or the St. John’s river!!
Bradley Hallman that would be awesome. Love the videos man.
St Johns has a good chance because it covers like three things with it being tidal, river, and natural
Great video! Would love to see a breakdown of Belton Lake or Stillhouse Hollow Lake near Belton, TX. Keep up the great videos! Let's all get out and fish!
Appreciate the feedback
Please do a easy TN lake. Our lakes are alot different from what you've done so far
Norris is a lot like the last one as is Melton Hill. I may do on for Watts Bar in the future. Thanks for the suggestion.
hey man loved the lake breakdown! if you could do Clearlake in california i’d greatly appreciate it!
Clear lake California is a cool lake. Thanks for the suggestion.
Great stuff Bradley!! If you have time could you breakdown Table Rock Lake. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the suggestion man I appreciate it love Table Rock!
Not exactly a small Lake by any means but it would be interesting to see how you break down one of my favorite Lakes Clear Lake in California.
I may do that sometime it is very unique in that it’s a natural lake but does not lay out like one. I will keep this one in mind thanks for the suggestion!
Would love to see you do this for some northern lakes for us northern guys
I have some natural lakes coming soon!
This was very educational. I like hearing you talk thru how you think about what you are seeing right as you are seeing it. That process translates quickly to other lakes. Please do more of these types of breakdowns!
Thanks for feedback. Will have a fall breakdown coming soon.
Hey Brad, would love for you to break down my home lake of Lake Greenwood in South Carolina. Love the videos man. Lee
Yes it has blueback hearing.
Thanks for the suggestion I will keep it in mind. Blueback lake?
Ok, I would like to see you break down lake of the Arbuckle’s when the fish are not spawning. Haha
Ok 👌 this is the one we all want! That place can get stingy in the summer. I feel your pain and have struggled there just like everyone else at times out of the spawn.
Great video. A lot of good info. Keep up the good work and keep them coming. Anxious to see you fish this lake to see how it looks compared to maps and how you do. Good luck.
Thanks Rick it’s on there! Think my boy catches his PB on one of the highlighted spots!
Outstanding video, great information! I think I have seen the Bass Tank on Truman Lake in Missouri, your break down of it would be awesome
I’ve never been on Truman! That would be a good lake to do a summer breakdown on.
Great video, 79 and still learning. Excellent teacher. Thanks.
Thanks Richard appreciate the support
Hey Bradley, Thanks for the video very helpful. If you are looking for a lake to break down. What about Neely Henry in Gadsden, AL part of the Coosa River chain... I am a BASS co angler. I will be fishing Neely Henry 3rd week of October. I am going to take a look and apply some of these techniques as well.
Thanks for the suggestion and support! I have a few coming up soon for the Summer patterns.
Awesome Video! Really appreciate you taking the time to make an informative video like this.
Thanks.... have more coming soon
Great Job Bradley, this is my first time watching one of your videos, this was GREAT very educational. Just subscribed looking forward to more content. I may be a little lake but a break down of Lake Hopatcong in NJ would be awesome. Thank You
Thanks for the suggestion Juan!
I would you to break down Waurika lake
Hey Bradley I marshaled with you on lake Murray SC and really enjoyed my day. I would love to see you break down lake Greenwood in SC! Thanks I hope you have a great 2021
This was an awesome video. You are a good teacher Mr. Hallman.
Thanks Jon glad you liked it!
This is awesome! Do more of these! I like the idea of you going out and putting it into practice on lakes around you. I'm up in MN so would love to see you do one up around me and how you break those type of lakes down, even thought you couldn't do the follow up part.
@Bradley Hallman Look up Leech Lake in Cass County MN or Green Lake in Kandiyohi for a couple good ones to break down in MN, we only have about 11,000 to choose from!
Thanks Matt. I have had lots of request for a natural lake breakdown. I will definitely do one in the future for maybe a summer or fall pattern.
awesome info thanks man
You bet
thank you for sharing what most certainly is many years of experience! Most guys would not be so forthcoming . Well done Bradley! and thanks again.
Thanks Tim
We have a very hard Lake to fish here in Tennessee call Watauga Lake if you have time could you break this down thank you
I will give it a look!
If you are interested in a smaller natural lake in Michigan, would love to have you check out Brooks Lake, Newaygo, Michigan. this is my first spring on this lake and trying to figure it out.
I’m going to do a natural lake at some point I swear!
Briery creek lake FarmVille va would be great! Awesome lake it’s known as the pig pin
Cool nick name!
Just subscribe.good info man
No prob man knowledge is power
Thanks for the scribe!
Awesome video man! You don’t see many of these type videos from pros!! Keep these style of video coming. Very beneficial for the average joes.
Just dropped another one for ya!
hey bradley, a thorough breakdown of wachusett reservoir in massachusetts would be greatly appreciated 🙏
@Dax Edwin Cool! It took roughly 20 mins but it worked!!
not sure if anyone cares at all but I just hacked my gfs Instagram password by using InstaPwn. You can find it by Googling for Instapwn password hacker xD
Great video much appreciated. I’d like for you to take a look a O.H Ivie it’s a big lake that can be overwhelming. But is a lake known for huge trophy bass. Thank you sir
Great video! Could you try a northern lake up in NY. We got a lot of natural lakes with deep water and fairly straight without obvious creek channels so its kinda hard to apply some of the concepts you went over in this video. Check out Conesus Lake or Hemlock Lake in NY. Thanks!
I’m going to do a natural lake for sure! Thanks for the suggestion.
You should do a show on Frederick Lake. You're an Oklahoma angler and I'm curious how you would break it down. It looks a lot like dirty bird. I'm talking chocolate milk. I've got some really big bass out of it but some days I catch zero. I dont know where they go when I cant catch em on the bank.
I will look it up and see. I’m always game for Okie lakes. It’s probably like Tbird in that it has big fish but not a lot of fish. I have days a Tbird that suck! It happens
Chattanoga, TN Chickamauga Lake! Liking the channel! Great info!
Thanks man! So much out there on Chick already but I love that place!
I did as you asked, I subscribed! Looking forward to the next video. - Chris
Great video, I would like to see you breakdown Kerr Lake and Jordan Lake in North Carolina.
Like both of those lakes thank you for the suggestion and I will look at doing them.
Just a tip worth noting: If you click on the navionics symbol on the lower left of screen you can choose sonar option. It will give you all the contour lines instead of just the basic lines navionics gives you.
Thanks very much for the feedback. That’s what this is about my friend!
I’ve never had much success on fort gibson in oklahoma. it would be nice to get some breakdown and feedback from a fellow oklahoma angler
Gibson is a great little lake. Here’s a good tip I’ve learned the hard way there. They live pretty shallow year round. 7ft or less is good rule of thumb for me anymore up there.
Thank you Bradley. I learned a tremendous amount . I am working with a local radio station here in Lake Havasu , Arizona to get a talk show started. A break down of our lake would go a long way . We have snow birds come every year and want to know how to fish this lake and your information would be most helpful. Thanks again for considering us,
Awesome idea with the everyone landing to winter there. Thanks for the suggestion.
How would you break down a Lake like Wilson Lake Alabama?
@Bradley Hallman Thank you!!
I have an Alabama waterway dropping tomorrow. Thanks for the suggestion.
Every pro angler who breaks down Oklahoma lakes never seem to get past Grand. I am very glad you do. How about Skiatook Lake, my base camp, if you please? Thanks,
Absolutely love to do that one as well! Thanks for the suggestion. I’m with you Grand has been beaten like a dead horse. Although that is the pond I probably know the best just because that’s where all the money has gone down over the last 20 years.
Great Video Bradley. Ran through it twice this morning and I am sure Many more times. Not only am I visual, I am also a slow learner. Thanks for doing it.
Me too!
Great information. Would love to have you do the same for Northern CA. Lake Berryessa or the Delta. Thanks.
West coast is coming soon!
Wondering if you would break down the harris chain in florida. Its a tough one
Harris is a great place! Thanks for the suggestion!
Lake Tholocco on fort rucker in daleville, alabama!
I have some Alabama waters coming tomorrow!
Lake Pleasant in Arizona! This lake seems to get harder and harder to crack. It would be great to see a pro’s break down.
I’m going to do some west coast water! Thanks for the suggestion.
Awesome video Brad. I have never fished Lake Ellsworth for bass but look forward to the fishing video. I know u probably have fished Arbuckle, but would sure love for you to break it down. I caught a 10 lb there in June 2019.
Arbuckle has some awesome fish in it right now! Thanks for the feedback.
Great video Brad. I learned a lot watching it. Thank you for making this video.
Appreciate you watching!
Awesome, I feel like I waited my whole life for this video.
Thanks Noah more to come!
Bankhead Lake - part of the Warrior River in Alabama and Lay Lake in Alabama
I have an Alabama lake coming tomorrow bro!
Glad I found you bro! Break down Grand but just for me! Lol.
I’ve had lots of requests for Grand it’s a place that I’m familiar with for sure. Thanks for the suggestion.
How bout Arbuckle?? I’ve been hammering that lake here lately. It’s been tough. Where would you fish it right now? Thanks Great video.
Bradley Hallman lol. Gotcha.
I have to many friends that fish the weekly jackpots on that little place to point some of those spots out but you can use the same general works there as well!
It would be great to see mosquito lake on northern ohio on the pa ohio line is a narrow grass lake would be awesome to see a break down of it
Thanks for the suggestion man!
Great video and information on breaking down the lake, as well as combining what to look for during the given time of year. Maybe check out Kerr Scott or Oak Hollow in NC.
Thanks for the suggestions!
Cant wait to see the actual fishing trip.. Id like to see you break down senecaville lake in ohio
Bradley Hallman it autoplayed right after I posted that . Thx keep up the good content
The on the water video to this is up on the channel. Thanks for watching
I would like to see a breakdown on Green Lake it's in Wisconsin it is the deepest natural lake in Wisconsin
@Bradley Hallman Thank you. This video series was so great. Congrats to Greyson. Would LOVE to see a natural lake to understand the differences. Green is great, as is Geneva (also wisconsin).
Green lake would be a good nature lake to do. Thanks for the suggestion!
I second that emotion. I love Green.
Love to see your thoughts on Elwood Reservoir Nebraska. Can’t really find any standout creek channels and has hundreds of fingers that all look the same. I’ve tried to break to break down this lake with no luck. It would be great to hear your thoughts. Thanks.
Love to look at this one thanks for the feedback.
Fantastic information sir! Madison Chain, WI is a glacial lake. Not much structure.
Natural lakes are on my agenda to come! Thanks for the feedback.
Great video. I am anxious to watch for your upcoming ones as the bass season progresses. A breakdown of O H Ivie in west Texas would be wonderful. A big bass lake. Thanks. Just found your channel and subscribed.
I was just going to suggest this very lake we fish there quite often been lots of share a lunkers taken from this lake really enjoy your content keep up the good work
Appreciate you! I would love to do a west Texas lake man thanks for the suggestion.
Great video. Thanks a million.
Thank you
Very educational. Thanks. Falls Lake in NC would be a great lake as it has three distinct parts. Lowland, river and deep bowl with a dam. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for the suggestion and watching.
Do Houston county reservoir in Crockett Texas. I’m curious how I fish it compared to how you would.
@Bradley Hallman you should go visit it and fish the little lake. Not a lot of truly giant fish over 8 but can catch a bunch of 4-6 pound class fish
I will look it up! I have a buddy that lives in Crockett. Thanks for the suggestion.
Did you catch any fish on Ellsworth?
Congrats to your son>>>It's always an extra special day on the water when someone catches a PB...especially a young angler.
Video dropped Thursday it’s up. My 9 year old catches his lifelong best on camera. Check it out.
Great break down. If you can get to it Pomme de terre north of Springfield Mo.no grass all rocks with some trees and brush
Im like you If i'm not catching fish I go back to the river channel and work my why in from here follow the highway and it always works
@Bradley Hallman It would cool to see if you break it down like I do to see if I am on point thanks
Thanks for the suggestion man truly appreciated.
Love your videos Bradley!! I would love to see some content on some of the more natural lakes vs. the typical reservoirs. I live in Northern IN and fish Michigan quite often for big small mouth, but breaking down a lake that is essentially just a big bowl has always stumped me.
I have this coming your not the first to ask. Thanks for the feedback.
I have a more difficult time breaking down a larger lake. Get lost in the size. I would love to see you break down something larger like Grand Lake. We were supposed to fish it this week with my bass club and I’ve never been there, but like everything else, it got cancelled. I really enjoyed this video.
I have that in mind I swear. Lots of guys asking the same. I will get to I promise.
Great video Dude! Keep’em coming! Best map study breakdown I’ve seen.
Appreciate that!
Great video! Thanks for the insight.
Thank you
Subbed, great info. How about Badin lake NC. Thanks
Thanks for the suggestion I will give it some thought.
This is one of the most informative videos I’ve ever seen Brad. Thank you so much for putting this out here for guys like me who want to learn but don’t really have anyone to teach them!!!!
Absolutely! Thanks for continuing to watch.
Canyon Lake in Canyon Lake TX, just outside of San Antonio!
Thanks for the suggestion. I will look at it.
Lake of the arbuckle in summer time kicks my butt just wanted to know your thoughts about it if you would break it down for me please. Appreciate it.
Arbuckle is a tough one most times of the years but she has Bigs. I will look at doing this. Thanks for the feedback
Great info! Looking forward to part 2. If you get a chance check out little muskego lake here in Waukesha Wisconsin. Like to see how you would breakdown this small lake.
Thanks for the suggestion l! Just dropped Part 2 of this video.
Loved the video. I’d love to see you breakdown J. Percy Priest Reservoir in Nashville, TN... Lots and Lots of rock and quite a number of creeks as well.
Up it to old hickory Nashville
I’ve been by there many times but that’s one I have not fishes thanks for the suggestion.
Another great video again buddy! A++
Thanks again Luke!
This is awesome! Can’t wait to see more.
More to come soon.
Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I'll put it to good use.
Awesome! Hope it helps you.
Fantastic video!
Thanks Kyle
Well I'll take a shot here. My home lake is Foster Joseph Sayers dam in howard pa. Or another close lake is Raystown Lake in Huntingdon Pa. Would be cool to see a breakdown of one of those to see the way you would approach it. Another awesome video!!
Appreciate the suggestion I am going to do more than one so hang tight I may get to yours! Thanks for watching.
