All grass is not the same. In this video I explain what I'm looking for when fishing grass and how certain grass grows different in certain areas of the lake and how you need to approach that grass. I'll go into detail why I choose the baits I do in certain grass and why certain baits are key depending on the grass you choose to fish.

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.

Outstanding information as always from Todd. He is a go to for the lake I live on. I am usually on the current pattern but the actual breakdown from him always helps me understand the "WHY" so I can replicate it and move it. Thanks for all the great data. I would love to see something in the future for the less populated areas of the lake. Really fishing up the arms to see how a pro fishing different stuff on Rayburn that is not main lake hot spots. Great example is north of 103 on the Atoyac arm. I love the area in spawn and do well but have never seen a real pro breakdown there. Have seen Mr. Newberry there with me a few times so know I am on the right track

This is phenomenal. Someone like Todd can post real time data, folks up here can get that date, he can basically do almost a guided trip for his revenue stream as anyone's online convenience. I hope he continues to post more data on my home lake

I live on Rayburn and this might be the best data/tool that I have ever had. I learned more about where to look and how and not just spots or "community holes". This is teaching people how to find fish consistently on their own year over year. Outstanding!!
