Why you are missing crappie on Side-Scan!

  • I was using Side Imaging trying to locate winter crappie along a steep bank that dropped into a creek channel. One the first pass, I did not see the school of fish. I made another scan and picked up a ton of fish that were on fire! I will show you at the end of the video how easy it is to miss these fish on Sonar! In the video I said I was using 1/4 oz jig head. I was using 1/16 oz. Sorry for the mistake . I posted another video where I show the brand. Not that the brand matters.

    Another awesome video. Thank you for taking the time to show the fish on side scan. Good practice on catching only what you need. Not many people would do that.

    The most helpful video I’ve come across to understand where the fish are in relation to my boat, what to look for, and most importantly what I’m actually seeing on my graphs. Thank you.

    A bad day a of fishing (and this looks like a good day) is better than a good day just about anywhere else. Thanks again for taking us along with you. Blessings

    Started watching this video after your Panfish nation podcast appearance. Lots of great info. Greatly appreciate it. My unit is a Hummingbird 597 HD side scan unit. However a lot of the info your putting out can be used by any unit. I haven't been on the water with mine yet, but that will happen soon. Thank you for the info.

    Range - water column = distance from boat. Pause the screen, look at the depth, go to the top of screen and water column is the same depth, so if you see crappie in water column they are under the boat. They show up on 2D the same time they show up in water column, 2D is under the boat a cone 1/3 the depth.

      Harry, thanks for the comments, I appreciate you viewing my channel. Crappie were not under my boat, I spotlock and cast to them. Check out this video, I think it will help clarify things. “MASSIVE 20' wide school of crappie right under peoples' feet and they don't have a clue!

    I been using side scan to find crappie for about 8 years now, but last week i got the active target 2, unreal what you see with the active target. good video...once I get the active target figured out, i'll try to do a video on it. But I dont see how it will help me with catfishing...we'll see i guess.

      I never use the “go to “ feature on my graph. It should do exactly what you are describing. The point one is just an external antenna with built in compass for heading.

    Why are you fishing the back and not the front ? Thanks

    • @FishinwithSquirrel
      @FishinwithSquirrel  Рік тому

      There are a few reasons I fish off the back. I haven’t mounted a ram ball on the front for my active target . I have a full Bimini top I keep up which makes it more difficult to cast off the front. Also, I enjoy striper and catfishing, the back of my boat is set up with a cutting board and all my monster rod holders. It can be aggravating with active target on the back when the boat swings around when there is not a constant wind. I will eventually mount a ram ball on the front. Thanks for watching!
