How to Break Down A Lake From Home Bass Fishing 101 

Bradley, the way you talked about highways being interstates and where they are going to stop is so much better than most fisherman who use this method .

Lake James in North Carolina Great info

This was an awesome video. You are a good teacher Mr. Hallman.

Excellent video thanks for posting!

Great work Brad👍wish you the best on up coming season

I enjoyed the why behind the location chosen.....I live in NE Arkansas.....smaller flat lakes

Very cool, thanks for the lesson!!!!

So glad I found this, if you are still looking for lakes to do there is a lake here in Oregon that has a tone of pressure that would be interesting to see your take for summer fishing. Tenmile lakes, lakeside Or.

Thanks for this. I'm more of a hands on learner than a visual learner. But this definitely helped out

Thanks for the break down information! Looking back at Sam Rayburn now from this weekends fishing trip to try and piece together where and why I got bit.

Very informative please do more

Excellent I’ll study this and follow thru with what I’ve learned on the High Desert lake here in Southern Utah ! KR St. George, Utah

great video, This really helps me understand what to look for in a lake, I usually just run banks with no clue, and waste a lot of time, not knowing how to find the productive parts, ty again.

I shared this on my Facebook page for our high school fishing team lots of good info.

Great stuff Bradley!! If you have time could you breakdown Table Rock Lake. Thank you

Thanks Bradley, great info! Google Earth Pro is a great tool 💯👍

I love this type of content thank you Bradley.When you have time, take a look at Raystown lake in central Pa. I would like a little help with where to start on this impoundment again thank you and take care .

Thanks some good juice. Thanks Hallman

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

Great video, 79 and still learning. Excellent teacher. Thanks.

Love the video so much info that I hav es t thought about thankyou .

Great information again! This is a freaking game changer for sure. I have commented back and forth with you about Weiss Lake . You said it’s a bucket list trip. So when you coming to north east Alabama and fishing Weiss. I’d love to see you fish all that TON of skinny backwaters on the upper end of the lake. I have an aluminum bass boat that is absolutely a necessity up there and I have a nice extra bedroom for ya and a freezer Full of crappie. FISH FRY

Chattanoga, TN Chickamauga Lake! Liking the channel! Great info!

Really enjoyed this! Thanks!

Hi Bradley, enjoyed this video very much. I know you are from Oklahoma but I also know you are very well versed on Texas lakes. I would like to see you break down Sam Rayburn and Toledo Bend please, as these are the two lakes I fish most often!!! As a matter of fact, they are the only two I fish. I also realize that they are Really large lakes and it would be hard to cover the entire lake in one video, but I fish the south to mid lake areas in Toledo Bend, and Black Forrest to and including Amish Bayou and Bear Creek areas. These are the areas I would be most interested in on both lakes. Thank you so much for your time and efforts!!! You do a.great job and you make it easy to follow and understand!!!

Would love to see you do this for some northern lakes for us northern guys

This is outstanding, thank you sir!!

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!!!!

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!

This is so informative. Would love to see this for Lake Cumberland

Great video. Thanks a million.

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.

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!!

Good stuff

Good video keep up the good work

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.

Great video!Thanks for making them!

Another great video again buddy! A++

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.

This would have been great to know 10 years ago... I would have prolly succeeded better at the long road trip first time lakes... now we know, now we know! Thanks for another great few pointers appreciate it more then you know sir!

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.

HEY..... I just subscribed to your channel after watching this video.. You really broken it down for me, definitely something I will use after this quarantine is over. If you need a lake in Texas, Please breakdown Ray Roberts!!!!!!!!!!

Could you do a breakdown of Taylorsville lake in Kentucky? Looking to learn about it more and get the kids out on it.

Fantastic information sir! Madison Chain, WI is a glacial lake. Not much structure.

Love this I learned a lot from this video

awesome info thanks man

Fantastic video!

Patoka Lake, IN

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

Nice job

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!

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

Lake Anna, Virginia would be great to see broke down

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.

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.

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.

Lake Norman NC!

I’d love for you to do sante fe lake in Florida or the St. John’s river!!

Please do a easy TN lake. Our lakes are alot different from what you've done so far

Love this!

Canyon Lake in Canyon Lake TX, just outside of San Antonio!

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

I don't have any lakes nearby but I have several river systems. I would like to see you break down a section of Altamaha river near Jesup ga.

Bankhead Lake - part of the Warrior River in Alabama and Lay Lake in Alabama

Great information. Would love to have you do the same for Northern CA. Lake Berryessa or the Delta. Thanks.

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!

Hey Brad, would love for you to break down my home lake of Lake Greenwood in South Carolina. Love the videos man. Lee

Great insight! Do Pueblo Red in Colorado

You should do Bankhead lake on the black warrior river in Alabama. It's a really unique lake that I would love to see your perspective on!

Cherokie lake tn.

Briery creek lake FarmVille va would be great! Awesome lake it’s known as the pig pin

Lake Tholocco on fort rucker in daleville, alabama!

Killing it bud

I know this video is a little older but if you're still interested in doing another lake. I'm a beginner and I tried to do my local lake but I wouldn't mind seeing how good I did by someone like you doing it. Okmulgee lake. It's a pretty small lake

Lake Whitney in Texas resembles grand in some ways

I have 5 lakes I’m gonna research in Texas and one here in New Mexico where I have lived since 95 and fished.

Awesome video. I would like to see lake Monroe in Bloomington Indiana

I am so glad I stumbled upon your channel. Great information without all the bravado that some have.

Excellent instructional breakdown.

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,

Could you possibly do a lake in southeast Oklahoma like mcgee creek or pine creek

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.

Excellent Hallman! Really is going to help me out. Can’t wait to see you fish it. Thanks!

Thank you for this series! This is such a tremendous help. I learned a lot.

Great Video!!!! Thanks!

Muskegon lake,Michigan

Cant wait to see the actual fishing trip.. Id like to see you break down senecaville lake in ohio

Lake Raystown, Huntingdon, PA

Could you please do lake hickory , hickory NC

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.

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

Great video Brad. I learned a lot watching it. Thank you for making this video.

Great insight, thanks for sharing!! Would love to hear about Percy Priest, TN!!

Awesome Video! Really appreciate you taking the time to make an informative video like this.

Just subscribe.good info man

Bradley, Awesome video! Looking forward to the next video and the on the water comparison! Be safe out there!!

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.

Another great video Bradley...... I enjoy your perspective of how you break a lake down...Our styles are very similar... Question: You stated that you will drop way points on specific areas....... Do you do that on the Navionics web app and import it into your electronics or will you just physically pull up your mapping on the units and do it there.... Still working on being more tech savvy.... but importing the way points from couch research would be awesome.... Thanks again for the great info.....

Great and very informative vid Bradley. I really enjoy listening to you break it down and give reasons why or why not you would fish certain areas. Thanks bro. 513

Man my daughter lives In Oklahoma City, I’m in north east Ohio. Mosquito lake is my home field tons of grass heavy fishing pressure derby’s every weekend and Thursday nighters. Great population of healthy fish I think there’s a state record in there. It can humble the best. I’ve had 16 lb days and in a bfl two years ago I didn’t get bit. After 29lbs in two practice days, very frustrating. It doesn’t have a lot of obvious features but there’s plenty of hidden of shore stuff. Curious how you would break it down. I love Navionics and google earth greatest thing since white bread lol. Thanks for sharing it’s awesome. Peace and God bless brother.
