  • I spent some scouting an area of Lake Sakakawea, and I'm bringing you along on my "graph cam" so you can see what I see and understand what I'm looking for in a good spot. And then, of course, it's fish-catching time!

    I really enjoyed this. First year with a boat and the world is at my fingertips. Now I have to basically re-learn how to fish because finding the spots out there is nothing like google imaging shorelines and exploring accessible locations. Thanks for sharing.

    I wish I was armed with this information before pulling lines through empty water today. ;) Sometimes we need to fish empty water to make the good days even better. Ha, ha! This was definitely one of your best content videos I’ve seen for information. Solid gold, Brett!

    I really enjoyed this video. Very useful information. I just got a new fish finder with a lot of good feartures like downscan and sidescan and this video gave me some really good tips on how to use it to find fish and not waste a lot of time on the water. Excellent job!

      You can get a Humminbird Helix 7 (Gen 4) with Down & Side Imaging for $550. That's hard to beat. Everything else is just screen size.

  • @whales302
    @whales302 Рік тому +1

    Why does traditional sonar show fish but this new side imaging and mega down imaging show nothing? Like in 14:45 of your video.....

    • @BloemendaalFishing
      @BloemendaalFishing  Рік тому

      Unfortunately, my DI transducer had been knocked loose from the bracket, and I didn't realize it until after filming the video, so it wasn't looking in the right direction.

    What are your settings on your Hummingbird. For sonar, side imaging and down imaging. Thanks. Nice video.

    • @BloemendaalFishing
      @BloemendaalFishing  Рік тому

      Don’t change too much out of box, but I do have the sensitivity set at around 15 on all of them, which is higher than presets. Can depend how much garbage floats in a given lake and how noisy it gets.

    Where is your boat positioned on that screen? Does the graph start at the transducer?

    • @BloemendaalFishing
      @BloemendaalFishing  Рік тому

      If you're taking sonar and down imaging, the boat is far right, and things scroll to the left, so anything on the left side is stuff you drove over in the past with the transducer.
