This actually worked really well for me. .. out on my boat right at the moment and I was never able to mark fish at higher speeds… this video popped up and immediately grabbed my cleaning brush and pushed the total scan transducer down and it made a huge difference.. thanks Mike for another amazing tip..
First… Let's start by saying you have been the best fishing/boat guide. I have learned tons from your content. Your transducer appears to be backwards. Is it mine that's backwards?
Great information! Thanks
Great video Capt!! Thanks for the tips. Always enjoy watching!!
Excellent video Mike, I have a question about flutter spoons,I mentioned using a swivel and a treble hook,what kind of swivel and what size?
So never caught stripers, so don’t know any size limits, but I hear they are good eating. Over the several videos of yours I’ve watched, never seen any kept. Why?
Amazing! I have had 3 different fish finders and NONE of them will read anything if I go more than 5-6 miles per hour. I will try your adjustment method. Thanks for making this video.
Awesome guy! Keep up the videos!
More great sonar tips!
My main motor is a Motorguide Xi3 on Kayak or 13’ Alumacraft Duckboat so Top speed is about 4.7mph. Guess I don’t need to use your Level trick to knock down transducer. Thanks for that good laugh! 😂 Love your videos brother. God what a beautiful fish that was.👍👍 Have a great one Mike. God bless! 🎣👌✌️
Mike. Great information. This worked for me and now I read at 30 mph. I have a garmin and was getting the rooster tail spaying water up on the engine. Garmin has a inexpensive shield guard that solved the problem. Thought that might be helpful to your viewers. Love your videos thanks.
At 30 mph what depth would it be hard to see fish on the bottom? Beautiful fish! What are your regs on stripers? On the west coast there is talk of putting a slot limit on stripers of 20 to 30 inches. Right now it is 18 inch minimum with no upper limit. Enjoyed the video!
Awesome video thanks bro
Hey Mike, you do a great job sharing your extensive knowledge through videos.
I believe you mainly fish in the NE, but have you ever fished for King Mackerel further south on the East Coast?
They have small air bladders and are difficult to mark. I have been on crazy hot bites before and not marked a fish under the boat. I have sometimes marked fish with short horizontal lines when catching Kings. Sort of like dashes (I have some screenshots saved). Not sure if those were kings.
Do you have any tips or techniques to help mark kings?
Hey Mike I love watching your videos and I've learned a lot. I do have a question for you about marking fish in deep water. Fish mainly live bottom so there's not necessarily schools like on a wreck but once I get to about 150 to 250 ft my machine doesn't Mark the fish well at all even when I zoom in. It's a Simrad go 9 with the transom Mount transducer multi-scan I believe. I've watched several of your videos and have set up my machine according to your instruction everything works great aside from deep water.
Do you increase screen scroll speed for better definition at plane?
What setup do you use for these? Rod and reel
Thanks for sharing Mike
Are you able to mark schools on side scan while on plane?
What is the reason for mounting the side scan backwards on the mounting plate?
Amateur striper fisherman here. Couple of weeks ago I was headed somewhere else from where I had been at about 20mph and I started marking a lot of solid yellow returns. Hit da brakes on my boat and the stripers were stacked under me in 35-40fow. Dropped my spoon down and caught 25 stripers. Kept nine and threw back 16 long fish that were over the legal keeping size. It was lights out. I told my son and he said “ I didn’t think you could mark fish going that fast?” Good to know I’m not alone on this. And unknown to me at the time before watching this video of yours, I had decided to tilt my garmin transducer down slightly thinking it might help on plane or in rougher water. Thanks for the tips they have been working for me!
I’ll try that with my P66
Pay Mike comment
Phew John had himself a cow….Team Old School showing how it's done….
On my buddy’s Garmin transducer, one side of the side scan is always darker. Have you seen this before?
In your experience, will the 2D on the 3-in-1 suffice to mark fish on plane? 83 vs 200?
I added a in-hull transducer works fine for me at 30
Thanks Mike! Always love the little tips and best practices.
Definitely going to try that. Thanks 😊
Capt. Mike can you post your settings for Simrad on the depth finder .. to get screens you have like look & setup
thanks
Hey Mike, love your videos. Your the best! I need your help. I ordered the rod holders from Joey Scruggs per your recommendation back in April, sent him a check witch he cashed and I have no rod holders yet. Now he won’t answer his phone. How well do you know this guy? Could you call him maybe? I appreciate anything you could do. At the very least I would drop your endorsement. Thank you sir!
this in the Raritan Bay? Im just learning about these fish finders and you have been a great resource. Can you help explain why the need for 2 screens? maybe it was in one of your other videos? thanks again!!!
Your active imaging transducer cable is wired opposite of what i normally see. Normally the cable comes out of the transducer right next to the transom. just curious if there is a reason for that?
Hello, and thanks for this video. Would this "technique" work on a fresh water lake for largemouth, spotted, and smallmouth bass? Or are they typically too small to have the sonar pick them up at that speed?
Fantastic scientific explanation for the transducer position!!! You should be a physicist. Keep up the great video.
Nice stripper, but would be more convincing had they caught more.
