@alwaystinkering7710 Жыл бұрын

That's the most clear explanation I've seen. Very well done! One thing I'll add. The relative movement of the fish and boat are key to understanding the image. If that fish decided to hang out in that spot, you would see a very long fish because the unit would keep seeing and plotting it. That's the only time when you can be pretty sure where the fish is: when the boat is not moving and there's a long streak, it's parked directly under the transducer. And just like circling with the boat, one fish might appear as many if it's swimming around under your stationary boat. You're seeing the same fish repeatedly. That's a good clue that it's interested in your bait.

@HughButler-lb6zs Ай бұрын

By far the best explanation of down imaging I have seen. That explains why I find sonar more useful, because I am not getting the best image on my down imaging view. Since it is a series of pictures you must have the proper coordination between boat speed and scroll speed in order to get the best picture of what's below the boat. The question remains as to what the shape of the image field is. Sonar is a cone ( 3 dimensional). What about down imaging? In using a fish finder, you need to understand you are interpreting a 2 dimensional image on your screen in a 3 dimensional world. You have to have your mind right says the warden.

Great info Jonny ! On my Simrad GO5 touch screen unit it will tell you how far away from an object that you marked on the graph until you clear the cursor. On my Helix 9 if you put the cursor on an object it will tell you how far away you from the object. If you have a trolling motor linked to your graph you can easily go back to the waypoint or cursor position that you marked.

You can also use a throwable buoy marker to check the accuracy of the graph. As soon as you're making your second pass with the boat and are lined up to drive over the brush pile. As soon as you begin to see the brush pile coming onto the screen throw the marker just behind the motor a few feet. I mark my brush piles and structure this way as I feel it's more accurate than scrolling the screen back and asking the GPS to do it. Just hit the waypoint button the instant you begin to see the brush or structure your wanting to save. I do this usually on my second pass to make sure I'm not off to one side or the other. Although sometimes it may take several passes to get the best centered picture on the screen before I hit waypoint save. The gps method can work for bigger piles or if I have more obvious features on land I use to get my boat situated.

@prynceal6762 Жыл бұрын

Good idea but if your in a body of water that has current (predominantly in Florida) that trick will be inaccurate.

Doesn't work in the ocean... currents, winds, etc... unless you have a long rope and a weight on your bouy.

Glad you said the area below and not the area around your boat my deeper fish finder has a icon that looks like a diameter in a circle so I thought that meant it was the area around so now I know it's just a width of the beam and not some diameter of a cylindrical cone.

Johnny. Great video! Got a ? On 360. Does the depth under the boat subtract away from the range like you said on side imaging? If I have my 360 on 80’ but I’m sitting over 20’ of water Is my target range then 60’? Just trying to tell how far away my targets are more precisely. Thx James

Question, once you create your waypoint am I correct in thinking that providing where your gps puck is on the boat, (mine is at the rear of the boat) using the casting ring feature and the length of the boat, mine is 18 feet long. setting the casting ring to 70 feet will put the brush pile roughly 50 away in front of the boat? Also my trolling motor is linked to the Humminbird

@SandmannOZ 8 ай бұрын

I think part of why it's confusing for many is because they don't really understand what they're looking at. The vertical scale IS a distance scale, but while the horizontal scale LOOKS like a distance scale it's not... it's a TIME scale, ie: what is under my boat now, what was under my boat five seconds ago, what was under my boat ten seconds ago, and so on. This is made more confusing because if you drive a straight line and a constant speed then the horizontal scale can be interpreted as a distance scale with the screen showing a "cross section" of the body of water, but relying on that to remain the case without accounting for variations in course and speed can lead to misinterpretation. Similarly your screen make show a bunch of fish across the horizontal, but if you're sitting still over a given point that could easily be the same one or two fish swimming around under your transducer repeatedly.

@gwo8th211 Жыл бұрын

we used to sit over suspended deep fish and when they stayed under the boat which didnt always happen, it would echo streaks on the graph. We called it streaking. It was first done with a unit called a paper graph, maybe a Z15 or 16 model???? its been a while. I still like to DI with vertical fishing baits, I can get so entranced in it that you forget about the trolling motor and fishing line thing. The staring at screens all day didnt start with livescope by the way.

@tonyjones9057 Жыл бұрын

So in general, when you locate a brush pile or some structure you wish to fish, you have to circle back to fish on that spot?

Dumb newby question here, so once I see fish on my graph I would want to throw out a lure to the front of the boat or anywhere around it? My buddy said he can see his crankbait enter the water when he cast it out and let it drop down to the level to where the fish are suspended.

Thx - very informative. A bit of a beginner question. When graphing do you troll or use main engine - does the wake from props distort ? What’s best method for this ? Thx in advance

@clashcontent5407 Жыл бұрын

I’m not really an expert but for me on my boat it seems that whenever I use my main engine and I take it above idle the finder is usually distorted so I find it best to either slowly drift without either motor or just use your trolling motor and the graph will not be distorted.

@kidiraq8381 Жыл бұрын

You transducer is probably not installed right if your getting distortion while graphing. Other graphs pinging can cause interference as well. So turn others ping off while graphing or switch to maps on the one your not using for side/down imaging. Graphing is meant to be done with the main motor but can be done anyway. Graph at 3-5mph and for best picture, make sure your "chart speed" matches your boat speed. God Bless!

How close do you run the distance on your mapping? 20'. 50' 100' 200' 500' as this will make a difference on exactly where your WP is set to go back over and relocate the brush pile.

Ok I have a question though not concerning the bruh piles but currently I’m at 6:02 in the video so what I’m wondering what is all the stuff suspended in the water and the same goes for the side imaging I’ll constantly being seeing a bunch of stuff in the black area and im just not entirely sure what it is at all
