Wired2fish caught up with John Murray for a detailed lesson in offshore bass fishing on his home lake! With Murray's years of expertise and advanced marine electronics, he unravels the secrets of identifying hidden underwater structure and cover that hold bass. Moreover, he dives into the importance of finding key fish-holding structure and cover and multiple depths.

Murray's mission is to locate the perfect depth, commonly overlooked in offshore bass fishing. He investigates various depths from five feet to over 20 feet, highlighting the importance of adjusting your approach based on your findings. With each varying depth, he reveals his process of elimination and the significance of discovering the right offshore structures at different depths to boost your offshore bass fishing success.
This video also provides an invaluable lesson on correctly using your electronics. Murray pinpoints several areas of interest, such as logs, road beds, and municipal pipes. Such areas are likely fish-holding spots in the somewhat featureless lake.
The video also features a popular rig called the "free rig." The free rig, renowned for its performance on the East and West coasts, is demonstrated with practical tips on maximizing its potential in offshore bass fishing. Murray effectively uses the free rig with a Berkeley Speed Boss, offering viewers an in-depth look at this setup's unique action and versatility.
The latter part of the video introduces the concept of 'depth transition.' Murray notes that if the deep water yields no bass bites, it's time to explore shallower regions. He discusses the crucial role of underwater eyes (sonar and mapping) in identifying hidden structures and making precise casts.
Finally, Murray moves to deeper water, where he tracks down an underwater pipe – a hotspot for oxygenated water and food sources. In this unique environment, he uncovers the true nature of bass behavior and offers insight on exploiting this to your advantage in offshore bass fishing.
