I’ve been playing around with the Deep Dive app and I’m liking it! It has useful information for beginners up to expert anglers. Find your lake, input time of year, phase the bass are in, depth (shallow or offshore) and various other things and it recommends lures. It also recommends the proper rod, reel, and line for a particular presentation.
Another cool feature is a short video of the recommended retrieve for said presentation. 
 

 

Worried about wind direction? It’s got you covered. It overlays wind direction on your lake and you can scroll through up to six days worth of wind so you can see the best days to go or best areas to go.

 

 

As you’d expect from a fishing app, you can check weather, pressure, precipitation, and moon phases. Again, you can scroll through up to six days worth of information so you can select your most ideal time.

 

 

Using information from multiple weather sources, USGS, USACE, professional bass anglers, and other sources they’ve really done their homework on this app and are working on some cool new features in the near future. If you haven’t checked it out yet and are looking for a user friendly, well thought out app that isn’t bogged down with questionable ‘fishing reports’ I recommend giving the deep dive app a try.

It’s pretty good for some things, but pay no attention to the best areas to fish map.

 

Water clarity, inflow, lake level, and wind maps are helpful, but water clarity isn’t always up to date.

My hypocritical self won't pay for it; while at the same time hoping Jonny makes a mint.  

  Outside of a couple of his slightly immodest self-promotion moments, I have come away from every single listen and viewing impressed...and  smarter.

Water clarity is based off satellite imagery which cloud cover hampers that considerably which is why water clarity features are usually not completely accurate.

Another nice feature is the inflow rate

 

 

Want to see areas with a more moderate flow while eliminating the lower flow areas? You can do that! 
 

 

 

Look familiar @Catt?

We have a lot of clearish (green) water highland reservoirs with a million creeks dumping in. When you get one of those days with warm muddy rain water washing into the green water, it can be one heck of a largemouth bonanza with a rattle trap. Seems like being able to find which creek is dumping in the warm rain might add up to some fun catches

Watching Ike’s latest video and at the 12:30 mark I noticed something the looked familiar. Ike uses the Deep Dive app.

I saw it being used in a video the other day too. Can’t remember who, but may have been Steve rogers outdoors

I tried it for the free period. I thought it was fantastic for a beginner bass fisherman. It even tells you how to work the lures. There is some good information there for quick access to it all in one place. It is worth paying for? I think Jonny is one of smartest fish guys out there. I hope he does really well with this. But for me, probably not. 

Just throwing it out there…..is there such a thing as “too much” information? For me there is.  By the time I input all of the information, I already have my answer.  At a certain point, more information just dilutes the situation and gives my peanut brain too much to consider.   Much of my fishing is instinct.  I have a mental checklist of things I consider when getting on the water.  I call it the “fishing puzzle”, the more pieces I get to fit, the better my odds are.  

I love information overload.  But only if it’s easy to navigate 

I wanted to try it. But just haven’t. It would be paralysis by analysis for me. That’s too much. For my brain atleast. I look at the temp,wind and look outside. If it’s overcast it’s black and blue. If it’s sunny something greenish. If it’s in the middle we’ll flip a coin. Water color is the same way for me. I’d spend all my time trying to dial it in on my phone than I would instinctively fishing. 

I'm sure this is helpful for some.  I prefer to use the app between my ears.
