Why not put the transducer on the front of the boat by the trolling motor this way you’re viewing it sooner rather than going past it when it’s on the back of the boat or at the very least put it in the middle of the boat?
But what is the distance if you are driving in a straight line? I'm not sure you answered anything by driving in a circle. Of course if you cross the same pile twice in a short period of time they both appear on the same screen. In a straight line you would need to do the math. You would need to know the cycle time between picture and the speed of your boat.
Bro I’ve been a professional IT instructor for over 30 years. I can say, having taught hundreds of classes, that you are a fantastic instructor/presenter.
Helpful. Thank You
Great job.
Thanks so much
Good simple explanation
Cool
As usual, you did a top notch job explaining Down Imaging. I have that on my Garmin and I never use it, I will now. Thanks.
Finally a very basic comprehensive explanation from a great teaching skilled angler. Thank you for the simple breakdown. Seriously!
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.
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.
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.
I do salmon fishing with my Dad on west coast Canada. This has helped me a lot solidify my understanding. Your video is greatly appreciated!
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.
This is a good video. Thanks for explaining this. It makes sense now 😊
This is one of the best explanations I have found. I am brand new to fish finders, thank you very much you now have a new subscriber.
Awesome video, thanks!
By far the best explanation video for this topic. All the others I watched the person explaining assumed too much about how much I already knew.
You're such a good teacher, thank you.
So the sonar only looks to the center down or backwards then?
How wide is the area under the boat being scanned? For example. If one of those brush piles was 10feet to the left of the boat and you didn’t drive directly over it, would it appear differently on the screen? Or would it not appear at all?
I like 455 but when should you use 800 and mega?
Man I appreciate you and all the hard continuous work you put in for us knuckle heads trying to figure this out. Hands down you run the best channel on YouTube! Thanks again!
You turned it into a trick question you still traveled a distance whether it was a circle and the same brush pile or separate brush piles and a straight line
Thank you
Just the video I needed. Thanks a million!
great explenation
Great video! Question: While you’re doing the slow-mo around the three minute mark, what is the large yellow blob suspended in the water ?
Great video and well explained. There are too many crappy videos out there. This was excellent.
Do you have a video on why suspended images that show up on 2D do not show up on down scan?
Well done!!!! Keep these up.
9:07 it can be described as a path alignment that creates an active profile. Your advice is to keep in mind any changes in your path. Of course, a linear path will be easier to read. Thanks for the tutorial. Cool stuff.
Very helpful! Thank you on behalf of us new to reading fish finders!
All you need to know is that the current boat position is always on the right hand side of the screen.
