  • See what many others are already calling arguably the best sonar how-to video ever made! Jeff “Kolo” Kolodzinski breaks down how to read and interpret what side imaging, down imaging and two-dimensional (2D) sonar are showing you, and how these technologies can improve your fishing.
    We filmed real-time drone and underwater video of screen readouts to show you what rocks, weeds, fish, and bottom hardness changes look like on the screen, from the air, and below the water - seeing is believing. Please hit us up with comments and questions, and let us know what you’d like to see from an electronics perspective.

  • @changinglivesinfo
    @changinglivesinfo 5 років тому +10

    Nice job, but I’m still having trouble trying to figure out where I am in relation to the information on the screen as it scrolls past. In looking at structure scan I understand I’m seeing straight down on left/right of keel... and the distance out to whatever structure. But where is it on down scan.... and echo. Is subject matter just as the boat passes over and shows on the right coming left across the screen, then out behind the boat as the subject matter disappears from the left side of machine?
    And then what’s best, make a waypoint, and gps spot lock off to the side and fish.... or throw a marker out , come around and fish toward it?
    Trying to learn this stuff. Thanks.

    I have a older unit that is just down scan. If I would have waited another 4 month the option of both 2d and down scan would have been an option. Dang!! I am still not sure what I am looking at sometimes. And understanding what is a fish and what is just a dot of interference. Thank you Jeff for making this video. Seeing the 2d and down imaging side by side is very helpful. Now I want to get back out there and look at stuff and see if I understand it more.

    • @Wired2Fish
      @Wired2Fish  7 років тому

    Very informative. I have a Lowrance and an Eagle on my Tracker Targa from 2005 when I got the boat new. I want to get at least one with modern technology but, in 2005 I was able to pay cash for a new boat. Being retired now I am looking at the lower end units. I would like to see videos of some of the lower priced units. I watched this one more then once. Thanks for your effort to put out a very informative video.

    • @Wired2Fish
      @Wired2Fish  7 років тому +4

      Hi Bill, appreciate the comment and we'll cover down on some more of the price point units in the near future. The beauty is 2D, 2D w CHIRP, Down Imaging and Side Imaging technology has been brought down to many entry level units as well from all the major manufacturers. A lot of the cost is associated with big units is screen size and computer processing power, but 5-7'' screens are plenty good for a lot of folks, and price from as low as $350 - $700 and packed with the same technology as seen in this video.

    • @ImSoAkai
      @ImSoAkai 7 років тому

      Wired2Fish off the top of your head, are there any new or used fish finders under $500 that you would recommend?

    • @Wired2Fish
      @Wired2Fish  7 років тому +4

      The Humminbird Helix 7 G2 Sonar (goo.gl/4ZhHAz) packs a lot of punch for the money. There's 8 models with various technology combinations with prices ranging from $400 to $800. If you prefer Lowrance, their Elite 5 or 7 Ti Sonar is another good option (goo.gl/hh3U17).
