Found all the brush piles with the coordinates supplied to me. Fished and caught around 11 white perch off piles, really wasn't the right time of year for these piles but come summer, fall and winter they should produce very well. Also found tons of brush piles in the area so old piles and some newly dropped piles, this tip is very much worth purchasing.

im going to say it was me as an angler i spent several days at these locations and in and around these locations and never found anything. I need to more clear after posting this mr buck contacted me trying to resolve an issue that i should been more clear on. When i said i found nothing i meant fish not structure. I saw the structure on livescope. I did not catch or see any bass. I want to thank mr buck and apologize for the misunderstanding on my end. I will be more detailed and clear in the future.

Response from guide

Sorry to hear that you didn't like my tip. I will reach out to you directly. I'm wondering if there was something on my end or yours when entering the waypoints. There had to be something going on if none of the spots were there.

Frequently asked questions

FishTips is a fishing information platform built to maximize the success of your fishing trips! Connect directly with dialed-in digital fishing guides for hyper-current digital guiding, training, & fishing reports!

FishTips began with fishing guides and top tournament anglers posting tips that were detailed game plans on exactly how they would guide someone. Guides take anglers to fishing spots on every trip, so creating a digital version of a guide trip on FishTips was a natural way for guides to guide, train, and educate even more anglers online. Perhaps their boat broke down, had a bad weather day, or it was the offseason, the FishTips platform attracted hundreds of digital fishing guides that wanted to provide their same high level of customer experience and deep knowledge of their fisheries in a digital format to help even more anglers! As we grew, we received feedback from both digital guides and customers for other types of informative fishing products to help anglers stay up to date on their fisheries or learn new places to fish. We are excited to now offer premium subscription channels for the latest fishing updates and hyper-current fishing reports. FishTips also has training videos for digital guides to share in-depth videos on exactly how they approach a fishery or how they break it down before they even get there.
