    Awesome video, I’d like to see the map view of when you come back to fish and how you position over the places you marked. Basically after you find the fish how to come back without spooking them again

      @BrianParkerson 3 роки тому +1

      Yes, this has been one of my biggest issues, taking my eyes off the screen and looking out over the water, trying to find and setting up on my waypoints, and knowing where the structure / fish is located in reference to my marked on screen way point.

    Phenomenal video. Clear and concise presentation. Really helped to understand and interpret what is on the screen. Thank you.
    If possible, some tips on boat / kayak positioning in relationship to whats being interpreted on the sonar screen with regards to how the fish and / bait fish are relating to the structure of cover. I think that would be helpful with these sonar videos.
    Again, thank you for your time and effort in bringing this content. Greatly appreciated.

    Thanks Dean! I’m slowly building up my fishing kayak and the last thing is about to be added...a fishfinder (happy 70th birthday to me). I used to have one on our pontoon boat, but I never was good at figuring out what I was looking at. That was 15 years ago and technology has moved up at lot.

  • @DAVE_WHITE

    better to spend 4 hours in a 5 hour trip using your electronics to know what exactly you are going to be fishing. So hard to get people off of the banks all the time.

  • @stevehogan8829
    @stevehogan8829 Рік тому

    I'm watching but see no difference between what you're calling bass and what your calling baitfish. I can understand why they are not below the thermocline,, I can understand looking for cover but how you can differentiate one "dot" from another "dot is beyond me. From here they all look to be the same size and same distance apart. I'll watch again. haha that second fish was much better..

    Finally, a layman's video on this topic, which is so frustrating for "duffer" bass-anglers. So many of us are never going to cave-in and throw tons of money on current state-of-the-art systems and this video helped me try to understand better, the one I'm married to. Good job, Dean!

    Awesome! Thank you for pointing out those different things. I have always said I wanted not to fish at all and just drive around. That never happens. I just feel I need a bigger screen to see what I’m looking at. I have a raymarine dragonfly 5”. I’m glad you took the time to make this video. I would say make another one just following up!

    Question for you.. I fought with auto chart live for 2 weeks after getting my helix 10 g4n. I could never see the colored path on the base map with contour lines as I mapped. Nobody, including Humminbird tech, could figure it out. Then by accident I found out that you have to zoom in to be able to see the depths and colored path as I map. Why doesn't anyone say you have to zoom on all these videos? 8k

    How does your kayake handle the big waves from motor boats. I bought a fishing kayak 3 years ago but have only used it floating the creeks. I have flipped it once where I got sideways up next to a downed tree. Surprisingly it flipped quick. Ive been wanting to fish some lakes around here but am a little concerned about the motor boats and we have lots of fisher people here. My kayak is a sturdy well built fishing kayak but as we know all kayaks can flip. Bona-fide i think is how its spelled, is what I have

    Maybe you explained it on another video, but I was constantly wondering what the symbols on the mapping meant, the XX I presumed are known "fish attractors" but there are circles and triangles as well.

    I think alot of guys that have been bass fishing for 30 or 40 years that dont have a clue about anything but reading depth . Im guilty of it too. Thanks for the primary facts that other guys assume we all know . Ive bass fished since 1969. If you use this info , you will do much better .

  • @harahara10
    @harahara10 4 роки тому

    Some of the lakes I fish are full of bait fish and all kinds of predator fish like bass, stripers, drums, gar etc.. So much so that every piece of offshore structure I look there is fish. How would you narrow down to most likely ones with bass?

    Why did they start with the baitcaster reels backwards and call it a right handed reel when compared to a spinning reel it's a left. Now all the left handed baitcasters. Aka the actual right handed ones they make less of them and they are all sold out

  • @danablackburn1681
    @danablackburn1681 3 роки тому

    I want to see on the fish finder and then see where you throw your lure. Is it behind the kayak or to the side? Still confused on that. You point at the screen and say we are right here, but where is that? The back, front, side?

  • @TappadaraWest
    @TappadaraWest 4 роки тому +1

    Great video Gene . Thank you I learned alot , especially about the thermocline area's . The sonar window does confuse me a little . but looking at the down imaging helps me alot better to understand what I am seeing . Could you spend sometime explaining the sonar part ? Thank you I loved this video great catch this is getting saved into favorites lol !

    • @jimweikel6768
      @jimweikel6768 4 роки тому

      Yes, I’m curious about that too. For instance, at 1:13pm there are a lot of arcs on the sonar, but nothing on the down view. I’m curious what those are and why you knew to ignore. Thanks for the content.

    • @Flukemaster
      @Flukemaster  4 роки тому +1

      It's due to the shape of the signal. The 2d is a round signal and the down imaging is a narrow oval going from side to side. The fish stay in the 2d signal longer.

    Great video learned a lot in a few minutes. Thanks for sticking with down image over side. Lots of folks doing you tube are explaining side image which would be great if I had it. I'm using a Ray Marine Dragonfly 5 could you get into how to utilize the SD cards and get charts. For now I'm using my phone for so-so charts via Fishbrain Pro subscription for $75/year. Thanks again for all the knowledge. Does that app you use offer charts?

  • @jameseason9949
    @jameseason9949 3 роки тому

    Two questions as a late viewer. First, your thoughts on Side Vision being a requirement if an angler fishes mainly shallow waters. Second, Some products seem to present a clearer more visible screen than some of the popular brands. The Raymarine units I've seen look good and yours did well in the sun during this filming. I've also read a LOT about ease of use of the Lowrance units. Do you have any experience with Raymarine as compared to others, like Lowrance? Thanks, and Go Dawgs!

  • @TAStormChasing

    Ok, when you went back to fish those spots where you saw bass, if they were in less than 12 feet - I’m thinking you went back and made your casts based strictly on the map/waypoint rather than 2d/di - Right ? Thanks for these vids - so helpful 😊‼️

  • @davidbeaver185
    @davidbeaver185 4 роки тому

    I like the fact that you cruise around and explain each thing as it comes access your history, most fish finder videos point out a couple arches, bait fish, and maybe mention a hard it soft bottom but don't really explain how they're coming to that conclusion.... I'd like to see more about mapping myself... And yes side imaging too.... And I'm sure there's more about regular and down scan to learn.... Oh and another video on say setting up your fish finder to get the best picture, or clearest picture of what's going on down there.... Thanks for the videos in all respects you rock

    When you say "12 feet or deeper I can fish right now, any more shallow and I'll come back later", is that because you're running a motor? If you're paddling does that depth change?

    Hi from deep south GA. Great vid, most of the fish finder vids use stored graphs. I like the fact that yours was splashed and dirty just like mine stays on my kayak despite my best efforts, LOL. I think more of helping people ID fish is going to be the ticket, especially those of us that pond/small lake fish.

  • @shawnbond1975

    You covered everything except determining where to cast based on what the screen shows (that's always confusing). That being said, it's one of the best demonstrations/explanations I've watched. I'm going to try it out next time I'm on the boat. Thank you.

  • @Ed-wx1fe
    @Ed-wx1fe 4 роки тому

    Great video! Although I'm still clueless, this video shed some light for me. My Q is do you always make casts to areas that you'd just passed on? IOW, you don't cast to places where your fish finder hasn't been to. Is that correct? Also, can't you just drop the bait from your boat rather than making a cast? I've seen some folks do just that and if that's the case when do you decide to drop a bait directly below your boat? Thank you so much for your time and God bless!
