You were blessed with the ability to work hard, all the perks you enjoy are not just handed to you. A lot of us on the outside looking in forget or choose not to acknowledge the countless hours of work or countless meetings and phone calls you have put in to further the sport you love. I don’t kayak fish but I respect the work you put in and so should everyone else. Don’t judge a man because he worked harder and put more sweat and tears into something than you did. Enjoy it Mr Hoover you have worked for it.
Man there needs to be more videos like this on fishtube! I loved the info on the depth finder since I don't have one and been looking to get one. But what was cooler to me was that keto cup and how you prep meals for the water
Bob Fitz love it so far. It’s a great compliment to my bigger unit and it really does a lot of stuff traditional depth finders can’t. Great addition to the arsenal
Great video brother! I am looking forward to more great info on how to use and what to look for with a depth finder since I just got one and am new to the whole thing. Thanks Chad keep up the great work!
Awsome video really good info as always I’m just gettin late start in kayak fishing bein 62 yo and also retired army I just feel like I’m to old to get into the tournament game
I hear you brother. Just turned 65, bought a kayak and now I’m itching to get it wet! 100% disabled veteran, fighting different battles now. Looking to drown me some worms!
Later catching up on this video, but very interesting in buying an enjoyable and beneficial fish finder (first one) for my kayak. Would appreciate your thoughts on two things, assuming the angler will fish mostly shallow waters, except some deep holes during the winter for trout. Seems side imaging may be worth the investment. Accurate? Watched lots of reviews and VLOGs and it seems most agree Lowrance is still the easiest to use. Based on what you've seen lately, would you agree with that? Are there things I've yet to mention that you think a new kayak angler should really consider when trying to determine what to purchase in a fish finder? Thanks!
Man, I'm blown away by the dude in the background at the 15:00 mark that loads his yak by backing his truck into the water and dragging the yak up onto the t-bone bar from the water. I had never thought of attempting that, but now I kinda wanna try it. It makes me nervous though, as it seems like I would have to back my truck waaaay down into the water. Hmmmm.
Finally someone made a video. I'm trying to learn my finder (humminbird helix g3 7") I have the mega DI tuned in for mad detail but just not always sure what I'm seeing on the screen.
Hey buddy, i have a Lowrance Hook 7 TS. This unit has side scan, and i was wondering if you had to use a spacer between the bottom of the pod and transducer bracket. Someone told me that the side scan gets blocked if you just fasten the bracket straight to the pod?
Chad, looking to get a sonar for my kayak I’m waiting on. I’ve heard Gene Jensen go as big of screen as you can afford (especially utilizing side imaging). I definitely have to stick to a budget so I’m looking at either a 7” Raymarine Element (that has 1.2Mhz imaging with 3D) or a 9” Lowrance Hook Reveal. I would think the imaging on the Element 7” screen would be better technology than the Lowrance even though it’s a smaller screen. What do you think? Or anyone for that matter. Thanks.
I got my first fish finder in winter and this upcoming season will be my first with one did I make a huge misstep getting a unit that does not have GPS I got a Helix g2 sonar
Man I just got back from Lake Weiss this weekend, and I think your bad luck followed me lol. Fished Friday night, all day Saturday, then went back out that night, and all I got was a catfish. I was cheating to on my dads bass boat lol. That is a weird lake to figure out.
Dorian McCradic it’s where a road was before the lake was made so the road bed is still there and it’s usually a harder bottom area and it or its edges attracts and holds fish
Dorian McCradic You’re hearing correctly. A road bed is just the remains of an old road that is now submerged under water. Could be dirt (now mud), gravel, concrete, or pavement. The intensity of the sonar signature can help you determine the composition.
If you are waiting for the structure you are marking to be in the center I am pretty sure you have already passed it. I guess you weren't moving very fast though
@@ChadHooverFishing Yea I was initially thinking you were moving. more then I noted you probably didn't move much when I realized it. Good content by the way!

Adrian Warfield thanks brother and I will integrate more of that into videos in the future
Can’t wait to get your opinion on the Deeper, been using one for a year or so now, convenient and portable.

Bearfoot Fishing thanks brother, we are trying.

"Yall know where the fish are?" Lol just straight to the point.
Grizzly Fish 😜
@@ChadHooverFishing lol I always have to make it like a 5 minute convo. Guess I should just try that some day. Lol
I’m about to buy my first fish finder. Thanks for the info, I definitely needed it
John Pearce I have a few more coming soon
Finally someone made a video. I'm trying to learn my finder (humminbird helix g3 7") I have the mega DI tuned in for mad detail but just not always sure what I'm seeing on the screen.
MustangFishing thanks! Plenty more coming, this was just the first one and I’m working on getting better filming depth finder videos
Hey buddy, i have a Lowrance Hook 7 TS. This unit has side scan, and i was wondering if you had to use a spacer between the bottom of the pod and transducer bracket. Someone told me that the side scan gets blocked if you just fasten the bracket straight to the pod?
Yes. It should be spaced 2.25” inches from the bottom of the pod to “clear” the hull.

Thanks for all you do! Looking to do some local kayak tournaments next year
Keep them coming....the best thing is I have the same unit.... this helps alot.
Absolutely amazing. Your a beast 🔥🔥🎣 nee to kbf the past 6 months. Nee to being a bonafide owner the past 3. I love it addicted early lol
As one Veteran to another, good luck Brother
I got my first fish finder in winter and this upcoming season will be my first with one did I make a huge misstep getting a unit that does not have GPS I got a Helix g2 sonar
Heck yeah Chad! Thx for the info and great stuff as always!
Vince Imp 👊🏻
I really liked the feel and style of this video. Thank you!
Thanks for the information. Be safe out there
I learn lots in your videos, Thanks Chad
Excited to learn more about depth finders! I do have a question how did you know about the creek channels and sunk bridge?
aquaticnut86 they are identified in the Navionics charts that I installed in my depth finder
Man I just got back from Lake Weiss this weekend, and I think your bad luck followed me lol. Fished Friday night, all day Saturday, then went back out that night, and all I got was a catfish. I was cheating to on my dads bass boat lol. That is a weird lake to figure out.
Sometimes those slanted lines are bubbles raising in the current. Not sure if it's air or methane but have seen bubbles make the lines.
Hey brother, just got a kayak and I was wondering do I need a side image fish finder or is a regular one good for a yak? I got the new outback.
Ok so i have a deeper how dose yours hold up i only get about 3 to 4 hours on a charge what do u get other than that i like it
Thank You for Your Service.
I’m looking to update my fish finder is there a strategy to finding a good fish finder? What do you recommend?
Loved the show
Thank you Dave. Glad you enjoyed it
Fantastic video Chad.
Chaz Man thank you!!
Which model is that of the lowrance I’m looking into one but idk which’s ones my budget is $500-600
I just ordered my first fishing kayak and would like to know the same. Same budget.
Thank you. I appreciate the education.
Dandy Dan thanks Dan
Great video. Good see how you use electronics. I thought🤔 you don’t use the ned rig🤪
Great video Chad!
Sorry hit wrong spot anyway , do yall sell your old yaks when you upgrade or get newer models. Looking to get my wife a good used yak.
You can check Facebook marketplace I got a fully Rigged Jackson Cuda from a guy near me for $850.
Nice video chad. I’d love to go fishing with you. Lol.
Which charts do you have loaded?
Very good video
BIG T thank you!!
How important is side scan?
What is a "road bed" or am I mishearing what is being said?
Dorian McCradic it’s where a road was before the lake was made so the road bed is still there and it’s usually a harder bottom area and it or its edges attracts and holds fish
Dorian McCradic You’re hearing correctly. A road bed is just the remains of an old road that is now submerged under water. Could be dirt (now mud), gravel, concrete, or pavement. The intensity of the sonar signature can help you determine the composition.

Oh gotcha, thank you both! 👍👍
If you are waiting for the structure you are marking to be in the center I am pretty sure you have already passed it. I guess you weren't moving very fast though
Eric name I wasn’t moving at all. I had to create a little movement by sculling with my paddle
@@ChadHooverFishing Yea I was initially thinking you were moving. more then I noted you probably didn't move much when I realized it. Good content by the way!
Dang man, Navy retiree... chances are you’ve spent some time in my neck of the woods with Oceana and Norfolk Naval right up the road.
"Imma show you how to fish off shore" Very next clip... Fishes shallow.😂
The behind the scenes of #KBF, #GotToLoveIt , way to demonstrate the spot on the spot.

Macadamia nut are the human equivalent of ostriches eating rocks. A few of those nuts will sit in my gut for hours, maybe even days.
Doc Bailey nope. Read up a little more...
