USING SIDE IMAGING TO CATCH A BIG MUSKY! S3.E23
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 жов 2024
- Have you ever looked out over the open water while on a muskie hunt and dreamed of having some kind of special power that would enable you to “see” exactly where the muskies are hiding? On many days, and especially when the bite is super tough, this kind of special power would be absolutely incredible!
Well I am excited to tell you that in some ways, this dream of ours is starting to become a reality! With side imaging technology you can now literally SEE muskies, on either the port or starboard sides of the boat, while you are casting, trolling or simply scouting new water. Side imaging (SI) will allow you to locate muskies that are holding far away from the boat or it can show a deep-following musky coming into the figure-8 that would otherwise be extremely hard to detect. Regardless of the situation, side imaging gives you an advantage unlike any other technology in muskie fishing history because you can now locate muskies in places that you would normally would never have been able to before.
In this video my good buddy, and long time musky hunting partner Mike Richardson and I, are casting a spot just before sunset when all of the sudden I spot a musky on my side imaging sonar screen. Because I was running the sonar at 70 ft, I was able to estimate the location of the musky at 40 ft away from the boat, and after only 3 casts…. I was hooked up with a “boat-tower!”

If you are looking for the ultimate musky rod for working bucktails then look no further than St. Croix’s Legend Elite Musky series LEM90MHF rod. This rod is my all-time favorite stick for slinging medium sized blades in the 500-700 size. For more information and to see the complete lineup, follow this link:

Awesome how technology can change the way we do the things we love!
DY, right on man!! Side imaging is just incredible - the muskie world is changing!
This is awesome dude! Legendary segment on using everything at your disposal! Right on!
Cameron thanks dude!! Yes, SI is changing the game for me in my musky hunting! We would never have known that a hungry muskie was cruising out over open water behind us!!! Just so cool.
What a tank! Technology is pretty amazing these days.
Kyle right on man!! SI is going to change the game. It had already led to catches of some very nice muskies that I would never have caught without it. Great seeing you at the show this weekend and really appreciate all of the positive feedback!
@@MuskyMastery was a great honor meeting you Chas. Really enjoyed the chat. Best wishes preparing for the 2020 season.
This will really help me catch some muskys. Thanks for this video.
Absolutely Todd! I am really glad you enjoyed it! More episodes coming each week!
Amazing video and beautiful fish guys! That was awesome to watch. Truly amazing and a testament to the power of side imaging technology. It appeared as though that fish was spotted while you guys were cruising by. Would quickly marking a way point on that fish have been possible in order to pin point that fish's location for the subsequent casts you made to try and catch it? I'm asking because I just picked up a new Helix 12 with mega SI and have been busy doing my research on my brand new unit in preparation for next season. Curious as to your response. Thanks again!
Thanks Sean! Yes, marking a waypoint on it would have been the best but at the time it didn't cross my mind to drag the cursor over and drop a pin. I have since marked waypoints on lots of muskies and its really cool because many of them that I mark do not really move far from their location as you try to catch them. Sometimes in the heat of the moment (like when one follows in the figure-8) I don't mark them but instead just continue casting in the direction that I see the fish. Hope that helps and keep the great questions coming!
@@MuskyMastery Great answer, Thanks Chas! Keep the videos coming. Love them!
Great job love the vids. I think I’m gonna go fishing there next weekend.
Mike, good luck on the ice! Keep us posted!
Awesome capture on film! We were lucky enough to call out a strike to a boat along side of us this fall that was pulling a sucker and watched as the musky came up and ate! He is now a believer in the MEGA.
Doug, right on man!!! Wow! That is an awesome story on calling a strike on a boat next to you that is wild! MEGA imaging is just incredible. Thanks for watching!
Another great video segment Chas! Simple and to the point. Are you running a helix 10? Keep up the great work!
Thanks John!!! Yes, I am running Helix 10's with MEGA imaging. Just incredible units as you know. This technology is really going to change the way we hunt for muskies!
Dude that was insane, that fish was a brute! I am looking forward to having side imaging this year. Do you experience interference when running it up front like that? Also how well can you see bait as you are going along on the side imaging?
Matt thanks dude!! Really appreciate it! My transducers are located in the back on the transom so there is a slight "lag" in the timing of what I am seeing on the bow. I have two transducers so that I do not get any interference from the lower unit of my ETEC. You can see bait really nicely, everything from ciscos to mayfly larva.... so insanely cool dude
@@MuskyMastery I see that totally makes sense! Thanks for the tips!
Chas! DUDE! That was awesome! I can't wait to try my new Humminbird Locator with the side imaging. Not just for musky fishing but for walleye too. I am sure I will catch more fish with that technology.
Thank Tony!! Yes, you will really like your new Humminbird - they are just incredible with what they can do. And I have marked lots of walleye and other species too. Baitfish clouds etc. Side imaging will change the way you fish.
Awesome episode you guys do a great job
Thanks Larry! I really appreciate the kind words and pumped that you enjoyed the episode on side imaging. More to come on this topic soon and thanks for watching!
IT'S a " BLEEPIN MUSKY" DUUUUUUUUDE!!!!!
Great great segment Side imaging is so wonderful. I look forward to leaning more about it and using it. After watching 23 episodes this year and all from season one and two, are you sure you are not training huge muskies and releasing them so you can catch them on camera? It seems so many of your catches are monsters. Keep up the great lessons. Very timely in lieu of your great speaking session in Milwaukee. Learned a lot from both
Thanks Dave, and it was great seeing you and talking muskies at the show!!! Just an awesome time and I am really excited to get out on the water with you this season... dates are on the calendar and we are ready to rock! 2019 was a great year for big muskies for us and hopefully the big girls will be moving in 2020 too!
That was awesome, great fish.
Thanks Mitchell!!! Tight lines dude!
Dude,that was awesome.
thanks DUDE! haha! I was really looking forward to putting this one together... just one of those incredible moments in musky hunting that we were lucky to capture on camera!
@@MuskyMastery we have been using Garmin live panoptix, so I know the excitement of seeing the musky including the fins on screen!
Good work Dude! 👍🏻🎣👍🏻
Thanks Nick!! Really glad you enjoyed the episode and looking forward to getting out on the water with you this season!
Chas I really learned a lot from this video!i feel like I learn from all your content, both solo and with JBO! I know I haven’t reached out to book a trip, but as soon as I figure out when I’ll be headed up north, I’ll let you know! 👍🏻🎣👍🏻
WoW.
Thanks Scott!!
That is crazy!! How deep water were you in to be able to see that? Amazing what electronics can do!
