I am a keen boatman and fisherman, I have been fishing since the age of five and throughout the years, the basics of fishing have remained the same. How you present your bait is the key to success 😎
Hi! I'm really impressed how simple you explain so complex device. Your video is reflecting your unbelievable skill over these kinda device. I have a question for you, i would like to know what you think. I'm on my way to buy a "pocket size" sonar for bottom scanning and not for fishing. I'm not a fisherman, maybe some later time. So, i saw this cute Garmin sonar and was thinking is it possible to use it for scanning objects on the bottom and ahow maybe wracks and bottom structure? I need to make pictures of the bottom and put into my books and if coordinates are also possible to save that would give more precise details of my writings. Is this little guy good for such of bottom watching ? Can it save a picture and transfer it to a computer or something like that? What you think about the purpose of my need and this sonar? Thank you very much for any help or suggestions.
No you will not be able to transfer to a laptop. You would need something better than this. The highest frequency is only 800 khz For more detailed structures you will need a transducer with a higher frequency, 1200khz.
I'm searching for something which can show bottom structure like a smaller car shell or a tree log etc. in that size. I don't really need very very high detals. Thank you for your effort to helping.
@@christianrobertadzic9321 I understand what you want cause I love looking for stuff underwater, the problem is saving it and downloading it. I also do a lot of underwater photography using a fishing camera, take a look at this short video I made. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rhxhR2pn7Qw.html
The fish have to swim under your beam from you transducer to mark up. lower frequency have a wider beam. take a look at this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KqBoHv3sZts.html
@@stevesshowreel. Türkiye eagean shore izmir city...we see mullets more, after may = june to december .. today sea temp. is 19. celcius here mullet better loves up to 22 celcius... school of mullets will be june .. scientific literature says autm an winter migration season so they are in far away deep seas
I am using Ape man , they have a great light sensor. One of the best I have found for underwater. And they are not expensive at all. Check their website
Thanks I will write them down . Traditional 200 and clearve is at 455. Low frequency wide angle beam and higher frequency has narrow beam. In shallow water use lower frequency
Tie 6 or 8 hooks on a short line 2 or 3 inches apart. My fishing line is around 15 to 20lb . Depending on how big the fish are. Use a weight to keep your bait down or surface fish without a weight. It depends if the fish are biting on the surface
Hello, I got the same model fish finder, and by the way never used a fish finder before....anywho, was wondering which way the transducer should be pointed ...will be put on a kayak ...thin end towards the front? Thanks for your time
I have the sticker 4 fish finder on my kayak. And never been on the water with it yet. I'm in florida. And plan on getting on the water wth my Garmin stricker 4 in a couple more months. I love this particular video. You tube has people talking about the striker 4. But never showing a person that never used it hands onn hoe to actually find fish live!. And how to distinguish it on the screen!. Excellent video!!. I wish to see more of this?!.
Sorry don't have a video. If I were you I would get the vivid 5 cv. The screen is wider gives you better visual. Check out the 5cv I think it takes SD card for charts cause the 4cv does not have this.
@@stevesshowreel. Steve I just bought the striker vivid 4cv. I think it will fulfill my needs. I wanted to keep the price down. Did you mount your transducer inside the hull? I'm thinking about making something that clips the tranducer into my transum boarding ladder and I'll place it when using the fish finder. I really don't want to mount anything to the hull.
@Jyock OK. You got options, through the Hull, fix to back of boat or on a rod below sea level. The transducer must be in the water or you will fry it. On mine I fitted a 2pin plug and just plug it into a 12v fused socket so I can unplug it when not using it. They drain a lot of power
@@stevesshowreel. I thought one option was mounting the tranducer to the inside of the hull. Similar to my depth finder in my boat now. I was wondering if that was what you did and how was the clarity. If not being in the water fry's the tranducer guess that's not an option.
Do you know what a thin green line by the fish icon mean? sometimes, when i use my lucky finder, when fish icon appears on the display, there is a thin green line above the fish.... cant find anywhere what this means...

Does happen all the time or just sometimes. Because it's a 2D view it could be there are 2 fish close together. Will look it up, never really took notice of that
Yes we have huge mullets here in our place caught by cast net 3 feet plus sizes. I'll try to bait with this bread. On my fishing rod they are only 4 to 10 meters away from the pier side.... I'll give this a try I was wondering if I can hook them bec they are huge and we love the taste here👍👍
With garmin you would need a big battery and case to put it in. Which won't last long. If your in shallow waters the lucky has a wider beem 90 deg. Garmin is 45 deg and 25 deg in clear view. Think about it.
