    Thanks for these videos. I just tested out my unit that came with the kayak I bought used and wasn't trusting of the constant clouds of suspended mid column fish across all the lake. Well, fishing bottom and getting no bites, then finally jigging mid depth got bites. Wish I'd have known sooner. I started off using a deeper pro+ that I love, but this unit is superior in lots of ways.

  • @LovinGodandmusic

    Very simple and easy to understand... thanks man! Your videos remind me of being in science class watching one of those VHS tape videos that breakdown the earth, other planets, the solar system, and the universe, etc. Or an after school Bill Nigh the Science Guy show or something. Lol, it's great! I REALLY REALLY want to get the striker 4 plus at some point... with the down imaging, ya know?! I actually bought this one thinking that I could upgrade the transducer at some point, which I ended up doing. I bought the new 4 pin transducer, set it all up (ran my cables and all), and went to set it up on the screen... and I'll be damned if the new transducer wasn't listed on this unit 😫 I was so bummed! But it was my fault for not reading more in depth to find out that the "plus" models were the only ones that could do the down imaging. Oh well 😕 Anyway, I've been using this unit for about 10 months now, but evidently I didn't understand fully what I was doing with it. I just kind of winged it as I learned how to use it. I wasn't too far off, but your videos definitely helped me understand the basics much better. What I don't understand is how a fish appears if it's on the very outskirts of the cone... if it doesn't pass directly under the transducer. Is the arch longer, or more "stretched out"... almost like just a line? I use the fish symbols 99% of the time. I was playing with it the other day, and I got to a place where a bunch of symbols were there. So I switched the symbols off to see if they were defined arches, but they weren't really. It was almost like a long thin line. So much so that I thought to myself that it might be a thin branch or grass or something. But I was in relatively open and deep water... far removed from any cover like that. I don't know. I guess I just need to play with it more. Anyway, thanks again brother 🙏 🎣🐟👊💪💯

    • @1Cast1Fish
      @1Cast1Fish  4 роки тому +1

      Glad you find these videos helpful...and the Plus and CV models are awesome. If you saw a straight line...that's great news it means the fish is staying in the transducer cone...so its nearby still. The Fish ID will not show this very well.

    I'm new to using a depth finder and this is what I've been doing with my Sriker 4.... I turn on the fish notification sound. I don't change the sonar display though. This way... I get a little beep when the striker sees a fish... then I can look down at my sonar and try to figure out what the garmin is interpreting as a fish. So I get an audible alert but no visual... other than my standard sonar display. Time will tell if I learn anything. haha. Thanks for sharing.

      The A-Scope will show you in real time what fish are actively in the sonar cone, anything else is history and outside the cone area. Now as far as where the fish are...that is were 2D sonar falls short, it is almost impossible to tell where within the cone the fish is with 2D sonar. This is why people now use side imaging and livescope type sonar as well.

      Another option for the Navionics, is that they offer a cell phone type service as well..or at tleast they used to. I also know you can go into their website and look at mapping of various lakes, so its kinda like a free map on your phone...no exact GPS stuff, but at least you can see the lake contours.

    Great videos. Very helpful for a novice like me. Quick question. Is what I'm seeing on my Striker 4 screen coming from in front of the transducer? For example, if I see fish on the screen are they ahead of me, directly under me, or another direction?

    • @1Cast1Fish
      @1Cast1Fish  3 роки тому +1

      Could be any...the reason is what you have is a 3D sonar cone, being depicted on a 2D sonar screen. This makes it somewhat difficult to reliably target things in a directional sense. The best to do is enable the A-Scope (shows info in real time) and when you see the arch you will know that the fish is within the sonar cone radius. (Close to the boat)

      Honestly I feel fish ID picks up a lot of other debris in the water and thinks its fish......same with baitfish...it makes it look like a lot of big fish when it is just bait. With that said though, it is great for beginners until they take the leap to learn to read their sonar returns.

      I like to keep it simple with traditional sonar and split screen.

I have plenty of Striker 4 videos to help get you started...be sure to check them out.
