How To Use A Fish Finder Echo Sounder and GPS On A Boat 

Dorf Lonnigan - Thankyou very much 😊 That’s great to hear. I’m glad you enjoyed the video and that the information came across ok. 👍🏻 If you think your friends would find the video helpful. Please share it on. 😉🛥👍🏻🎣🐟

@@TheFishLocker I so much enjoy your videos. You have a knack, a humanity that lends itself to great TV. Honestly, I think you are Jack Hargreaves' successor. If you were twenty years younger you would know what a compliment that is. (all his programmes are available on RU-vid) I do a lot, al lot of bass fishing in the western solent and some marks 10 to 15 miles offshore in the Channel. Frankly I am getting bored. I was really interested to see you were using a slow jig in a previous video. You just skated past it, no commentary, I think you caught a nice pouting. I am very intrigued by this form of fishing and the possibility to switch on fish on slack water that wouldn't normally be that interested in what I do - soft plastics etc. My question is, when the bass that are ambushing baitfish over a bank are switched off since the tide has dissipated, where do they go? Any thoughts?

Simon Carpenter - Sorry for the late response Simon. It is a subject that is heavy in debate. I personally have seen these things first hand so have my own opinion. Fish sometimes are almost triggered into life by the tide and dropped into a form of stasis when the tide is dead. It’s an odd thing they sometimes almost hang there in the water. And they absolutely will not feed. Other times when the current drops away from over a bank for example, the fish spread out and mill around. The same as they do on really slack neaps.

Des Colhoun - Thankyou very much. I hope the video was helpful to you. 😊👍🏻🎣🛥

brian robinson - Thank you Brian, those types of videos grate on me to. Whooping and clowning for the camera. I am glad you enjoyed the video and found it interesting. Take care. 😊👍🏻🎣

- Our first trips out with my wife on her fathers old punt had zero electronics. I took line of sight bearings on landmarks and we caught over 100 fish on that first trip. But yes, the electronics are wonderful. Take care John. 👍

My pleasure Billy. 😊

minandmotion - Thankyou. Glad you enjoyed it. 👍🏻🎣😉

- It is my pleasure mate. Good luck on the boat share. Have you owned a boat before? Have you seen this video? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xaC3pr2ImCk.html

@@TheFishLocker I have owned 2 boats before (1 was a 13 foot open dinghy with very small outboard, other a 14 foot speed boat), I'm OK at the driving of boat, but want more anchoring on marks/wrecks and using the electronics. Always willing to learn more from knowledgeable ppl. I am a very cautious person when it comes to boating as the day something bad happens is not the time to wish you'd learned how to do things properly or not having the correct safety gear to hopefully save yourself/others on the boat. Around Cardiff where I live we have some of the highest/fastest tidal flows in the World at 14+ Metres not a place to mess about in. So as I said any knowledge I can pick up, or go over again and remember it is always worthwhile. One of my pet hates is people going to sea without lifesavers, flares etc as too many die or use valuable coast guard time when for a smallish amount of money they could be safer.

Thanks for the small boat owners guide video, will watch this next.

PYakMan1 - I do have a small boat safety video and a video on how to anchor a wreck if it’s helpful to you?

@@TheFishLocker You are so helpful thanks a lot J. Yes very interested in those vids, will find them in your playlist.

MICHAEL SMITH - Glad you enjoyed the vid Michael. Subjects like that always cause a bit of controversy. Unfortunately when ever you try and give advice on things like that, all of a sudden everyone’s an expert and you get a load of folks trying to pick faults. 🤷🏻‍♂️

lefty940 - Thanks mate. Glad you enjoyed it. 😉👍🏻🎣

Scott Senior - Thanks buddy, the little man loves it on the boat. Proper little fisherman now. Getting him his own rod and setup soon. 👍🏻🎣😉

@@TheFishLocker great to know mate nice to see The Young Ones getting into the sport

Scott Senior - Mate he LOVES it!!! Can’t wait until he’s old enough to properly get amongst it. 😬👍🏻🎣🐟🐟

- Thank you. :)

- Thank you very much Ajay and welcome to our channel, I hope the video was helpful to you. :)

@@TheFishLocker thanks brilliantly explained it did help

No problem 👍🏻

Boy Scott - Good comment. Side scan is something different. Your basic echo sounder/fish finder is far less sophisticated and literally is a “bounce-back” representation of what is directly below you. So slow speed or stationary will give you a much much better picture. It can even be totally lost if you travel at high speed and you don’t receive the bounce back.

- It is my pleasure. 👍

- It is our pleasure. :)

Ady dearden - Brilliant. Then it was worth making. 👍🏻🎣

My pleasure Gary. I hope it helps. 😊

- It is my pleasure Andrew, I hope our videos help folks out. :)

- Thank you. 😊

@@TheFishLocker it's a pleasure for me your gratitude.

Have you looked through the Small boat owners playlist?

@@TheFishLocker some of them I havent got round to watching them all I keep getting caught out by your catch and cook videos :)

Seahog seajeep Fishing - Thankyou. Glad you enjoyed it. 👍🏻🎣

Thank you.

- I am glad that you found the video helpful.

- I understand that it would be helpful to you, but to be honest it would only be helpful to a very small amount of people and would take me weeks to film. Also, if I told you costs and rules/stipulations. In 2 weeks time if they change their costs or rules then the video would be worthless and would be giving people the wrong info.

You're most welcome

DumbestFisherman TV - Haha. Yeah he’s gonna break some hearts that kid.lol. A few folks have asked me to do this type of vid for a while. It just took me a while to work out how I was to do it. Then find calm conditions that would allow it. I hope it all made sense?

@@TheFishLocker good on you man

Joyce Hennequin - Thank you Joyce. No I haven’t had a John Dory yet. They are kinda like my white whale.haha. I do have a couple of videos showing float fishing and how to set them up. I’ll post a link in here. In a minute. 😉🎣👍🏻
