in shallow water the cone is only maybe a foot radius...so honestly no transducer is going to work well in shallow waters less than a few feet. They will give you a reliable depth reading, but the sonar info normally just looks like clutter, even on the 1000 plus dollar units on my boat. Now if you have a unit with side imaging, that works very well in shallow water since its scanning to the sides.

I'm about to shelve this fishfinder. For my purposes it was a waste of money. I fish in water that is a max of 7m deep, there are only 3 places in the river, the rest of the depths are between 0.5m to 4m, and at a 24° angle downward gave me +/-5m under the boat. Means nothing to me. By the time I see the fish in a hole and come back it's moved on. Maybe for dams that are 30m deep this would be great. So I have opted for sidescan fishfinders. Far better for my application.

It's great to have all the classes put into one video. Thanks! I have a quick question about scroll speed. Here's the context: I normally put my speed on "medium" even when I'm keeping the kayak stationary. My preferred fishing styles are using slip bobbers and drop shots, though I'm trying to grow in other fishing techniques as well. My question is, "Would you recommend auto scroll or a low scroll speed, even when your vessel isn't moving? How can you identify fish or what's under you if you're mostly stationary? Do you have any tips about how to pinpoint a brush pile or when the fish are stacked up on each other? Thank you for all you do!
@1Cast1Fish
Жыл бұрын
So, if you are fishing stationary and are using a vertical presentation...think ice fishing or jigging you want ultra scroll. As far as the fishfinder showing you anything while stationary...remember you are still...the fish are still moving, so as they swim into the sonar cone they will still show...again think ice fishing. As far as brush, If I see something of interest, I will mark a waypoint, then use the Clear Vu to really get a good image of what it is...if I like it I keep and name the waypoint...if not I delete it. Hope this helps some :)

Doesn't the number on the bottom represent the area being scanned? Shouldn't it be a lot bigger for the 77 than the 200? Thanks.

That side bar is indeed the A-Scope, and I believe that it is because the fish finder is in simulation mode, and honestly I can not remember the last time I used the Split View due to screen size, but once it gets warm out again and I get back on the kayak I will have to look again...but I believe it is due to the Sim Mode

Here is a crash course or at least a starting point -Use a wide beam Chirp Selection for frequency -You want scroll speed to Ultra Scroll for Jigging (helps with seeing your jig)...think ice fishing same concept. -Set Noise Reject to Low -TVG Off or Low -Start with your gain in manual around 75 and work your way up until the screen starts to get cluttered with noise...then back off a tad. -Remember to see your jig you must keep it in the cone...so if you drift or move your jig may stray outside the cone 100+ ft is a lot of water so alot of line and lots of friction on that line depending on the weight that will keep that jig from wanting to stay directly under your transducer.

Great video Paul. I am going to purchase my first fish finder shortly. I think the Striker 4 CV is going to be the one but i would like a suggestion because I do not want to buy one and not get what i need or over pay for extras that I will never use. These are the options I would like in order of importance. DI, SI, waypoints and mapping. Can you suggest a FF for a novice?
@1Cast1Fish
Жыл бұрын
So I see SI is important, which is going to change things up a bit for you. The Striker 4's do not do SI, you have to move up to a 7" Vivid to get SI and thats about 500-525. Now at that point I would spend a bit extra....about 800, but deals are out there on the ECHOMAP's with SI. I say this because the Strikers come with a pretty basic GPS Map system, but the ECHOMAPS come preloaded with lake charts and contours. So alot depends on the type of fishing you do, and your budget. SI is very nice, but not cheap.

Probably not on the trolling motor. Trolling motors with foot pedals are either cable or electronic driven...so your model is not going to be cable since there is no pedal right now...and odds are very likely it is not electronic at only 35lb, so I would say a pedal will not be an option on yours. I can probably do some cleaning videos, as I want to get some White Perch to put in the freezer later this summer.

Thats crazy, not sure what could be the issue, sorry...hope they send you a new unit or get it figured out...that would be annoying.

Sir i commend you for doing a very comprehensive class on the garmin unit. I have one section i need some assistant with. I use tbe Cmap app for my charts but when i want to input the co-ordinates into my garmin4 cv unit. I realize both use different scales in the coordinates scale. Can you explain to us the newbies as to how to address that or is there a way to convert our coordinates from different units to match the garmins gps scale?

Watch this video at about the 13-14 min mark kzitem.info/news/bejne/sJuP2qNnkXaUn2U This explains how to change the GPS units on the unit. I also believe that their are online convertors where you can plug coordinates in and change them to other formats. Hope this helps

Thats a bit odd, traditional sonar is a standard menu view. You may have to add it back if it was deleted. Should be in the customize home menu. If not possible factory reset.

So the Garmin4 fish symbols come in 3 sizes. S M & L. Curious to what size fish is S M L. Is small 12” and under Medium 12”-20” and Large 20” and over etc?
@1Cast1Fish
Жыл бұрын
Honestly I don't know and it's not published anywhere I know of. I would thing S=6-12 M=12-16 L=16+ but that's just a guess. Most Crappie show as medium, and they are normally 6-12"

Hey Paul I have rotated my transducer 90 degrees, I do get fish that are off to the side of my boat. I wondered what you thought, can I really use it this way and find suspended fish?

Not to my knowledge, it would not take much distance for the cone to "break" the water surface, and become useless. I should do a video on this sometime

I have a Pelican Bass Raider boat with a 35 lb thrust trolling motor and a Lithium Battery. Do you know of anything I can buy that checks the battery voltage or something I can charge the battery with on the water?

They make solar panels for charging on the water, but honestly they suck and are a waste for the space they take up. As far as voltage, go to Amazon and look up battery voltage monitor...tons of choices to chose from that will fit your setup.

Paul, I have a striker 7sv on the front of my boat, and a striker 9sv on my console. Will these instructions be used the same for them as the striker 4? I also would like to make if the adjustments can be made while the boat is on the trailer at home without losing them. If I turn on the simulator, will it show the settings I make while it is running so I can get an idea of the changes. Also, if I make changes in simulator mode, will the changes remain after I turn the simulator off?

Most of the main features and menus will be similar between the units. And yes you can make changes in simulator mode and save them

What sonar speed do you have it on with a kayak just paddling around and anchoring up often? Do you have it on auto or slow?
@1Cast1Fish

I tend to use slow mostly from the kayak or when stationary....not always but thats my normal starting speed. When sitting still ultra scroll actually works well sometimes....and even is the Garmin recommended setting for ice fishing.

Hello Sir! So I recently bought the garmin striker 4 plus cv with the cv20-tm transducer. My question is, if I go to the transducer list, the cv20-tm isn't on there. It does have the CV20 though. If I click on it, it throws up a possible error message. Any ideas of what transducer I should select, or just leave it to the factory setting? Thanks in advance.
@1Cast1Fish
Жыл бұрын
So the selection normally does not specify tm that I remember, so just select the CV20. The error message is just a warning to ensure that you do in fact have a CV20, as errors can occur if you select it but do not have the actual CV20. It basically is saying are you sure you have a CV20 connected and want to use it.

I will be using this sonar in the Boundary waters in my canoe. I will set my north to grid north. In that case does the GPS then add or subtract the necessary degrees so that it will match the map. I have maps with the declination corrections on them so if I need to I can add or subtract the necessary declination. Also what is the position format does it have is the map datum NAT 27?

If my kayak does not have front or back hatches could i duct seal my transducer inbetween my legs on the bottom of my kayak?
@1Cast1Fish
2 жыл бұрын
No you can not, here is why...the transducer must not have any air gap between it and the water, and in your case the transducers would have to shoot through the top plastic, then open hull, then the bottom plastic. This is why it would not function.

If you are looking to determine hard or soft bottoms, look up pictures of hard and soft bottom images and compare to what you see on your sonar. Another very useful trick is to use the Edge feature in the sonar menu, it will show you what the fish finder believes the bottom composition is...either harder or softer.

Once you make a way point. Say you come to the marina the next day. When you select that waypoint. Will the gps lead you to it?
@1Cast1Fish
2 жыл бұрын
Yes it will...but 1. If you select Go to Waypoint, it will take you a direct route (Straight Line) to the point, it will not care what's in your path. 2. If you need to go a specific route, it is best to save the track to the marina, or create a custom route. These options will include turns. 3.You can just mark the waypoint and follow the "past tracks" on the screen back
