My deepest bass so far was 10ft 5lber

This is the great struggle for me, even with all the good information.  What depth should I start looking?  The shallow docks are a clue, I think, but I'm starting to believe there always a small number of fish up shallow.  Understanding when to look deep or shallow is the key. At least for me.

Good stuff Nathan!!

The one thing that stood out to me was the addition information decerned from the resident species search.

I haven't mastered the Google earth tool yet, but I spend a lot of time studying and comparing chart solutions. I run all Garmin electronics so use for familiarity's sake, but I have to admit the C-Map charts are more detailed, I also use i-boating as a source on rare occasions.

I am honestly catching a lot more fish Oct/Nov than July/August. Bigger too.

Dang man, you're recking em.

We should plan a meet in the middle trip. I'm dying to catch some smallies.

I’ve come to the conclusion that if I can find them, I can catch them, but it’s the finding them that is the hard part.

I think utilizes past environmental data in conjunction with weather forecast to make prediction about how likely bass are to bite. Along with potential baits and locations based mainly on seasonal habit data.  I think barometric data also play a part in the overall algorithm.   This is probably an oversimplification. For example, today was predicted to be a 9.8 out of 10 in my area. I got 0 bites; it was windy as all get out and 2 jerks monopolized the boat ramp for a good 30 minutes which got me riled up. Not that has anything to do with the bite....

Yes please!
