Sea Fishing UK - How I use my Garmin GPS/Sounder and Livescope to find fish

Sea Fishing UK - How I use my Garmin GPS/Sounder and Livescope to find fish | The Fish Locker

Here on the south coast of the UK we have suffered with Strong to Gale force Easterly weather for nearly a month. This weather is not good for fishing. Here I show you how I use my Garmin electronics to help me find fish and navigate the seabed. I anchor in a few locations, showing underwater footage and battle the wind and try to find some fish.
The equipment I have fitted to the boat is a Garmin Echomap Ultra 122sv with a 56UHD transponder and Panoptix livescope LVS32. The conditions were not ideal for filming, but if you found the video helpful and interesting and would like to me show more. Please leave a message in the comments.

Great video - thank you. It is great to be able to visualise what we should be seeing on a fish finder. The instructions that come with most ff/plotters are very vague and it really needs someone, experienced, stood next to you to point out all the things that are easily overlooked. Your video was a great help to identify things that I have not noticed before!

Brilliant video John, I've always wondered where the fish are in relation to my kayak when I see them on the finder. I now understand that I couldn't work that out unless I have a live scope. This is the first video I have watched in KZfaq that has explained the reason why I have no clue as to weather they are to the left or right of me. It's done my head in. 😂😂 Now I understand I need a live scope to pinpoint them. Great video and much appreciated. 👍💪🎣

Really enjoyed this post John. Sorry the fishing sucked, but you taught a wonderful class. All the wind and swells are just like home here on the Oregon coast! The weather this time of year would piss off a priest. Your underwater footage is just fascinating to watch. Can you tell I grew up watching Jacques Cousteau? More of that footage in your posts would be fantastic! Thanks for a Sunday evening departure brother! I always look forward to your posts. Love home and fair winds and following seas...

Hi Greg, I hope you are well sir. This time of year for us is just hard work. It’s cold, often windy and the fishing is none existent. So I’m really glad that you enjoyed the video. I love the underwater footage too. Something really special about it isn’t there. Take care my friend and have a wonderful day. 😊

Nice one as always thanks John. Unlikely I will ever own a boat but very interesting information. Your Garmin is a fine bit of Kit! Some nice size Mackerel still about - we were out shore fishing the Tamar on Monday evening - only a couple of small Macker and loads of tiny Wrasse. Has Jim done a cook up with Mackerel? Be interesting to see what he conjures up! Stay safe & well - Dave.! 🎣🎣👍👍

That’s some experience that money can’t buy.

I have been catching fish and doing pretty well at it before this kit was even invented. So it's not essential, this is just how I use what's available to assist me. Experience and knowledge will always be more valuable. 😉
