Anyone on here have any experience locating fish using the Percentage Triangle method?

Not sure what that is.

Never heard of it.

Only after I change the angle of the dangle.

You must be from the Pacific Northwest, or watched Seth's video, or maybe you're just some cool dude from Georgia that heard of this?

The Percentage Triangle works simply becuase you're increasing your odds of finding fish in different seasonal movements in places that generally hold numbers of fish. Starting on a point and working your way into the cove works because you're covering several situations and taking the time to search for fish.  It can work well or it may not give you an advantage at all.

If you're headed to a new body of water, it can be great to find fish and cover high percentage areas quickly. But don't forget that these are just odds - there will always be other places on the lake that hold numbers and quality of fish too. It all depends on forage and the season. Find the bait, find the bass.

But yeah, I've learned about the strategy too.

Sounds pretty fancy but you can learn lots about catchin fish here at bassresource and from tips from pros like KVD which dont cost you a dime and will boat you fish.  Learn structure fishing.. Ill bet thats what this triangle methods is based on..when bass move into shallows from deeper water access areas.

This can answer two questions.

 

1. I didn't get a strike for 2 1/2 hours.

 

2. I tried five different places until I found out where the fish were moving to, to feed.  I guess I fished a pentagon method?

I like the theory that, "Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while".  

I haven't been able to put the theory into play yet because I have not fished a big body of water.  I am moving close to Carlyle Lake in Illinois at the end of the month and that is how I plan on approaching the lake for the first time.  The percentage triangle makes sense for locating fish.

Never heard of it...what's the theory?

Being doing it for 50+ years!

Never heard of it...what's the theory?

 

The square of the sum of the nonsense is proportional to the square of the time spent on the InterWeb minus the square of the time not spent fishing...

Does this involve Phil Jackson and Michael Jordan?

The square of the sum of the nonsense is proportional to the square of the time spent on the InterWeb minus the square of the time not spent fishing...

 

WHUT !?!

This is probably one of the funniest I've seen in a LONG time, haha.

sound similar fishing a deep main lake point back to it's closest cove till you find fish on a spot. then relocating to similar spots on the lake..

This is bass fishing at it's simplest, y'all should already be doing this.

If y'all aint doing it you don't understand bass, ya got to learn the creature you're hunting!

That video is a good tip.but the percentage triangle is supposed to put you on the right fish based off contour lines. You can dissect a body of water without ever fishing the lake. Then you fish your triangles and fine tune them.

Youtube search precentage triangle fishing, it aint Shaw Grisiby.

Not the best lake...head to rend, clinton, kincaid, devils kitchen, and a few others if you are in the area. Carlyle is a windy bowl

I watched some of the videos and I'm interested but I really didn't follow the method to well? Can someone elaborate? I found 4 parts, or atleast which part has the best info?

Thanks!

After listening to the video, I'm left with the feeling that 'Percentage Triangle' is synonymous to 'Horse Sense'.

Yelp, it's basics

I tend to use my side scan, down scan and 2D sonar to fish high percentage areas to find bass. I try to stay away from triangles after that whole Bermuda thing.

Interesting theory, seems a little more difficult than need be.   I typically just go with find the baitfish, find the bass.
