    There are few YouTube anglers who put out such consistently great content as you do. I don't think I've watched a single video you've made that didn't give me something new to consider or think about!
  • @bradr.7249
    This is such a great lesson Steve. I am guilty of fishing shallow targets because it is so satisfying to catch a bass off a piece of wood or a brush pile like you said. I have also had some bad days doing this and knew I should have fished deeper that day. The constant puzzle is what makes this sport so great. Can't wait for your Bass Behavior Bundle to come out. Have a blessed weekend Steve.
  • Short, informative, no-fluff videos like this are what we need. Extending video time for views is a great way to destroy view counts... Amazing video as always Steve!!
  • @mikegraham5563
    I'm #1!!! Great lesson, straight to the point and no RAMBLING.
  • @johnm2617
    Steve speaks I listen !! Thanks for the hard work <<😮😮😊😊😊
  • @JS-oy6nn
    One of the very few who isn’t yelling acting a fool while trying to sell us a worthless lure. Consistent useful information that I really appreciate. Thanks.
  • @MrJohnB-qs6dp
    Great video!!! Thanks for sharing!!! Good points to keep in mind when on the water!! Stay Safe & God Bless!!! 🤠👍
  • @kevinatwell9781
    Awesome stuff I’m in North Illinois and we are seeing some warmer weather for this time of year but I still haven’t seen much activity in the shallow area
  • @Rooster0529
    These points all reiterate what you presented in your advice to co-anglers fishing on the opposite side of the boat. 👍
  • @somewhereinsd362

  • @shannonkirby9295
    Hey, Steve, pray u are well and safe. Thank u for your kind words, thoughts and prayers. I look for that zone from the bank always. I go deeper then go shallow
  • @user-xu8ki2kn5x

  • @itllkeal
    I tried what you said today from the bank and hooked up with about 5lb Spotty on the Holston river with a hairjig. I always fished the timbers but went on down river from my norm and it was on for a few until it shook off
