Sea Fishing UK - How I use my Garmin GPS/Sounder and Livescope to find fish | The Fish Locker
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 апр 2022
- Here on the south coast of the UK we have suffered with Strong to Gale force Easterly weather for nearly a month. This weather is not good for fishing. Here I show you how I use my Garmin electronics to help me find fish and navigate the seabed. I anchor in a few locations, showing underwater footage and battle the wind and try to find some fish.
The equipment I have fitted to the boat is a Garmin Echomap Ultra 122sv with a 56UHD transponder and Panoptix livescope LVS32. The conditions were not ideal for filming, but if you found the video helpful and interesting and would like to me show more. Please leave a message in the comments.

this is cool to learn about fish gps how they work
I hope the video is helpful to people.
This was good John. Very informative. Thank you ❤ much love to you all
Fabulous video again, lovely to see the fish finder views and great to see the impact of difficult breezes. Well done
I hope the video is interesting to people and explains a few things. 😉👍🏻
Once again brilliant coverage of the sea life and nature that surrounds our shores. And the alternating weather. Great under water shots
Thank you John. 😊
Even with iffy weather this area is so beautiful! Added to my bucket list of places to visit! Love your videos!
On a good day there is not better place on earth. 💙
loved the underwater footage at the end. and a great explanation of how your kit works. thank you
It is my pleasure. 😊
What a great bit of kit that Garmin is and brilliantly explained…..also loved the impressive underwater footage. Thanks John
I'm glad you found it interesting Nigel. 😊
Great video - thank you. It is great to be able to visualise what we should be seeing on a fish finder. The instructions that come with most ff/plotters are very vague and it really needs someone, experienced, stood next to you to point out all the things that are easily overlooked. Your video was a great help to identify things that I have not noticed before!
I hope that the video is helpful to folks. 😊👍🏻
Great video. Best explanation of the difference between sounder and Live Scope that I've seen.
It was difficult to show but I hope it worked.
Cracking video as always John 👍we used a similar system to find wrecks when I dived…..but I found out I could get sea sick on a lilo in a swimming pool 😂said it before mate so glad I joined the Army 👌😂
🤣🤣🤣
I’m always looking for Sunday. Another great video. Keep up the hard work
Thank you Luis. 😊
As I've said before what s fantastic piece of kit. It's perfect for finding dogfish, your favourite species!! Even though it was a rough day your videos are always worth watching.
Glad you enjoyed the video Tony.
Great video again John, very informative. Really enjoy watching, always look forward to a new video.
Thank you Trevor. 😊
Hi Jon, Thank you for another informative and interesting video. Your absolute delight at even the smallest hint of wildlife is inspiring. I know what you mean about them Easterlies. Was booked on a wrecking trip out of Weymouth the other week that got cancelled at the last min, so ended up on Boscombe pier getting Blown about. Oh well never mind, as they say; "The worst days fishing is better than the best day at work, unless you're heaving you gut up over the side!" Have a good one man and keep the vids coming.
Haha. Yes mate, them easterly days at sea are often spent calling for “Huey” 🤢🤢
really good informative video john so clearly explained
Thanks John i will check that out....
😉👍🏻
Excellently explained
Thank you. 😊
Very interesting video john as always
Thank you.
I'm so addicted to your channel I'm not gunna lie since I stumbled onto this channel... always wanted to go rock pooling as being a city folk,; beaches and coastal areas are quite far but I made it a point of duty to take the wife and kids to a decent but near enough area where we can stop over a few days and rock pool till we grow webbed feet.... Love your family also, James makes me laugh so much, he's cute and a funny little man... Keep the vids coming, they're so inspirational 👍👍💯
I am really glad that you are enjoying our content, you are most welcome. 😊 I hope that you and your family have a wonderful time when you get to the shore. 💙🦀🐚
I haven’t been watching for a while, as I’ve just had my first baby. It’s so nice to enjoy your content again. Thank you for being calming and positive. Sending best wishes to you and your family, from my new little family. ☺️
It is our pleasure and congratulations. 💙 We send you all our best wishes. 😊
Congrats with your babsy🥰❤️
congrats
Many congratulations, wishing your precious baby and you all, much health and happiness. Many lovely videos to watch in those wee small hours.
That was a great insight into how to use the sounder ect. Not having a clue about having a boat and using the equipment on bored. When the time comes to owning my own boat I will be watching thees videos over and over again! A great help mate really appreciate it!!! Thanks John. Take care tight lines 🎣🎣🎣🎣
Good luck on finding the boat. ( and convincing the wife it’s a good idea 😉🤣 )
@@TheFishLocker 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 yea that's going to take some doing 🤣🤣🎣🎣
Brilliant video John, I've always wondered where the fish are in relation to my kayak when I see them on the finder. I now understand that I couldn't work that out unless I have a live scope. This is the first video I have watched in RUclips that has explained the reason why I have no clue as to weather they are to the left or right of me. It's done my head in. 😂😂 Now I understand I need a live scope to pinpoint them. Great video and much appreciated. 👍💪🎣
With a standard echo sounder you would need to steam left or right to find out if they were to the sides or not.
Amazing equipment and love the underwater footage. 🎣
Thank you very much. 😊👍🏻
Fabulously informative as always.
Thank you. 😊
great tutorial ...and when the wind is in the east the fish bite least ....always grew up with that in mind ..cheers ..from a chilly lancs ..
Its an old saying but its true.
I've always 'wondered' John! Thank you for yet another wonderfully instructive session. My Best Wishes to you and all the family. ( 🤞🤞 for some decent weather 😉 )
Thank you Mike. Yes, lets hope for some good settled weather soon. 😊
Really interesting video with more than catches. I thrive on geeky details like this!
I like stuff like that too. 😉
Great piece of info on the electronics john definitely worth the watch love to see more of it plz
I hope it answers a few questions folks have been having. 😉👍🏻
Very good video with some good insight John ..Your sea fishing videos are the best out there .
Thank you very much Stevie. 😊👍🏻
Just outstanding to you John truly you are a dedicated fisherman and I love seeing this aswell as I truly love fishing it's like a sickness. The information that you provide to your audience is top class and I hope that more young people would get into fishing. As it's such a life experience like no other . Thank you for time and dedication . Fair wind and calm seas.
I am simply sharing what we know and love doing in the hope that it helps. 😊👍🏻🎣
Also may I ask what do you think of Atmospheric pressure, to do with the fish habit. Ect. Fish feeding I have done some research in this and also put it in to practise but still have no understanding of this . Thank you
@@wickedtuna897 - That is a very long conversation. Jury is still out on that as every time I think Inhave an understanding. I have a days fishing that completely contradicts it. 🤣
Thank you John I truly understand that feeling can't wait to see more videos good luck and best to you and your family ☺
Quality content again. Particularly enjoyed the under water footage!
I love the underwater footage it really is special to me. 😊
Very informative, glad to see you finally got your doggy
It was such a relief. 🤣
What a great piece of equipment is the garmin john and well explained as always and yes it is here again just autumn instead of spring thanks for your video John and I am already looking forward to your next greetings and to the next and go fishing Tight lines
Thank you Willem and take care. 😊🎣
Hi John, great Sunday night watch,great techno, info,as always. Thanks for posting. Kind regards Mike. Norfolk. Tight lines.
My pleasure Mike. Best wishes mate.
Very well explained thanks John
I am glad that you thought so. 😊
Perfect timing with my dinner! Thanks John (:
Any time. 😊👍🏻
Great videoJohn. Saying it may look nice from the shore reminds me of an elderly guy I used to sail and fish with who used to say it is much better to be ashore wishing you were at sea than to be at sea wishing you were on shore! There were a few occasions I proved how right he was!!
Haha. That is a very good saying. 🤣👍🏻
@@TheFishLocker it isn't exactly how he said it, I cleaned it up more than a little!!!
Awesome bit of kit my mate has same on his boat he is teaching my granddaughter how 2 use it in all the years fishing Hastings beaches and old pier in my teens I never caught a dog fish. Happy catching from AUSTRALIA Nick
I wish you all good luck when you get out fishing. 👍🏻🎣
Being one of the people who asked about your sounder John that’s a great video! And what an amazing looking sounder it is too👍🏻 good to see a few mackerel about, hopefully a sign they’ll be back in a few more numbers this year🤞🏻
I am sorry if the video wasn’t very clear the conditions weren’t ideal for filming. But if it helped, you are welcome.
Great stuff John. Very informative.
Thank you. 👍🏻
Another interesting video, I follow a dive team over in the States and they go around investigating cold case missing persons, in rivers and lakes and they use the gear you use to scan for their cars, amazing stuff.
Thanks for video , it makes my Sundays 👍🏴👍
I have seen a couple of their things before. Amazing work. 👍🏻
Another fantastic video John. Glad your underwater shoots turn out amazing too. 🎣🎣🎣
They were really interesting weren’t they. 😊👍🏻
I am extremely envious of you being a boat owner... But after watching your videos on the extra costs after you have purchased the boat and the knowledge and vast amount of experience needed puts owning a boat into reality... Maybe one day!.. But your advice I'm sure will help many people who are thinking of owning and boat... Thanks fella... Regards Tony... 👍
The bottom line is always can you justify the expense. I hope my honest and straight forward explanations help people avoid any costly mistakes. 👍🏻
Thank you, John. As always a pleasure to watch. I look forward to watching your new videos, and I like to go back and see the one's I missed. By the way, I'd love to see you do some "puddle" fishing!
Haha. I’ve done a couple of puddle session in the past and the audience just didn’t take them up? 🤷🏻♂️ Take care John and have a good one.
Great viewing John, really informative, there is so much to learn about having your own boat,I really want one but don't think I'm quite ready yet. Keep the Videos coming, can't wait for smoothhounds from the shore.
Shouldn’t be long before they start showing properly mate. 👍🏻🎣
Came across your channel very recently, so informative, keep up the good work, I'm enjoying every Video....... Just wanted to say thankyou
Thank you very much. I am glad you find the videos informative. 😊👍🏻
great video , ive been toying with the idea of getting livescope , but most of the videos on youtube are from lake fishermen in the US , seeing your video of it in uk coastal waters has helped me to see the benefit thanks , and yes i agree about those easterlies , boat blows around all over and fishing is no longer fun ! tightlines mate and keep the vids coming
I have a few uses where it really has helped me out. If you can justify the cost it is really great. 👍🏻😉
thanx john,great vid and informitive as ever! cheers😀
It is my pleasure. I am glad you enjoyed it. 😊
Good morning John!!! Happy Sunday!!
Happy Sunday😊
Yip I've asked about that..."the two anchor , it does work
It does work well but the conditions on this day were just so gusty I still ended up swinging around.
Mega video John , it’s amazing how busy you can be with the wrong wind direction and still show us some fish 👍🏼👍🏼 ,very informative once again, appreciating your efforts sir.stay safe 🎣
Strong gusting easterlies are just hard work.
@@TheFishLocker and colder than a SW too 🥶
Thank you, I do like the underwater footage
My pleasure Jonathan. I love the underwater footage too. 😊
Excellent video. I really learned a lot. Much thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
John - thanks for showing the equipment to me - VERY interesting :)
Any time George. 👍🏻
"Puddle chucking!"... Lol I will have to remember this one... 🤣👍
😁
Thanks John , great insight into fishfinders . Matt from Weymouth
My pleasure Matt. 👍🏻🎣
Well done John very informative indeed and that’s a spanker of a finder you got there pal.All the very best 👍🏻🏴👍🏻🏴👍🏻🏴
Cheers James. Have a good one mate. 👍🏻🎣
Really enjoyed this video,very informative,and the camera under water at the end was brilliant,👏🏻👌🏻👍🏻
Thank you. I do love the underwater footage. 😊
Thank you again John a very difficult day say allow to James and everyone take care mate.
It’s the time of year mate. It’s hard work on every front. 🤷🏻♂️
Great price of kit. Just moved in round the corner from you. Getting boat in the water next week. Hope to see you on the water sometime. Really like your work. Thanks for the effort you put in to keep us entertained.
Good luck 👍🏻🎣
Very informative stuff on the fish finder and subsea camera. Havent been out in my boat for weeks in Ireland, and ended up in Falmouth for a couple of days! I can attest that the wind was strong and bitterly cold!
It’s no fun is it.
That video had allsorts in it, one of the best youve ever done, i love that sort of education, your explanations are well thought through and put across, usually i would have to admit i havnt a clue what the hell anyone talking about technology is on about, i really enjoyed this video, thanks for the hassle you went through to put this one together, can see it wasnt as pleasant as usual, all the best
Haha. Yeah it wasn't your standard calm day at sea but hopefully it has been interesting and useful for people. Best wishes and take care. 😊
Great video John thanks👍
My pleasure. 😊
A very useful video for me. Bought a boat last July that has a Garmin with Livescope. Turned it on once, had no idea and haven’t used it since. I will most definitely be getting familiar with it now after seeing your film. Thank you very much.
If you have it you are missing a trick not using it. 😉
@@TheFishLocker I realise that now thanks to your film. Looks like a game changer. Again thank you.
That was interesting John, thanks.
I’m glad you think so. 👍🏻
That's great underwater footage john, shame about the wind, but a great show on the chart plotter/ fish finder, keep them coming.
Thank you Carl. 😊
Nice one John sounders have come along way I can remember my first the seafairer with its flashing lights to show you the depth. That run off a 6vt battery. You can always count on the east winds to spoil your fishing. My mate had a saying if the wind is in the east stay in bed. He was a trawlerman.
Easterlies are always poor for fishing.
Another cracking video, yes the weather rules and for most it's just find something else to - watching you comes to mind 🤔
That’s it in a nutshell mate. When the weathers not right, find something else to do. 😉
Great informative video John 👍👍👍
Thank you. 👍🏻🎣
Thank you John brilliant
My pleasure Ryan. 👍🏻
Good evening John. Have a great week.
Thank you and best wishes mate. 👍🏻
Cheers very informative 😁👍
I’m glad you enjoyed it. 😊👍🏻
Thanks John, love the livescope tech😀 not the east wind, so I'm off hunting for a PB perch😀
Good luck Tim. 😊👍🏻
Excellent video thanks 😊 👍
Glad you enjoyed it mate. 👍🏻
Finally got out last Friday , same wind here but we scored 4 nice 15 inch trout. The wind can't blow forever. Tight lines
Awesome. Well done. 👍🏻
Thanks mate. I've just bought a Garmin. thanks again for the tips .
My pleasure Dave. 👍🏻
My pleasure Dave. 👍🏻
Loved it when you showed us the dolphins swimming on it in the last vid John, nice piece of kit mate... Thanks for the upload 👍
Im hoping to work out a way to record straight off the unit so I'll be able to show you all sorts of stuff like that. 😊
@@TheFishLocker That would be great John... You may even get a bit of sponsorship from it 😊
The underwater video was a great addition.🇺🇸
I love the underwater videos. 👍🏻
Great video I'm in the same boat not been out for 2 months because of the winds
Ouch!!! 😫
Very nice tutorial on you electronic sounder. Very nice piece of kit ( as you Britts say ) we Americans call them Fish Finders. Thank you.
I am glad you enjoyed the video Christina. I also call them fish finders but most people as you say know them as sounders. 😉👍🏻
Great informative video John, especially to a novice like me
Glad to help
Legend!
Thank you.
nice one John...
Thanks Nick. 😊
Interesting video john cheers, that's a nice bit of kit you have onboard, n/easterlies were getting pestered with eastern bristol channel
Mate its horrible isn't it. 3 weeks of easterlies none stop. 😫
I found your electronic equipment very interesting. Don’t know why because I’m an old guy and about as high tech as a hammer. Loved the video, dogfish and all 🤣🤣🤣…….Thank you John 🤣🎣
You don’t absolutely need all this kit, but it does help when the fishing is difficult. 👍🏻
John I did my maiden voyage in my 3.8m sib yammy 2stroke last Sunday in proper Easterly's! Was jumping the surf etc slamming down. Turned round and came back in2 Exmouth Estuary. The honwave did well tho. Too rough to fish! Nxt time.. Many thanks for your content all my family love it.... jj
Glad you had fun putting her through her paces mate. Good luck on the fish. 👍🏻
38 meter fishng ysght vwst
Good video, I like the addition of the under water camera.
Thank you very much. 👍🏻
Underwater camera is the best. I would like to see more of it later in the season.
I shall do what I can. 👍🏻
Thanks John, least it gets you out for a few hours, always another day.
That’s it mate, a day on the water is always a good day. 😊👍🏻
thank you
It is our pleasure. 😊👍🏻
Finally managed to get out on my boat today, first time I have been out this year! Fishing wasnt great, but it was good to be out! Not sure when the weather & tides are going to let me out again!
This time of year is hard work mate. At least you got out. 😉👍🏻
That’s some experience that money can’t buy.
I have been catching fish and doing pretty well at it before this kit was even invented. So it's not essential, this is just how I use what's available to assist me. Experience and knowledge will always be more valuable. 😉
Great video. A lot to learn!
Dogfish saves the day! :D
Every day is a school day. 😉👍🏻
I am getting sea sick just watching this, I last about 4 hrs on my kayak before I have to pull up onto the beach for 30mins. LOL. Great info.
Its horrible feeling sick isn't it. 🤢😔
@@TheFishLocker Yes. I know you have been a commercial fisherman and I wish I had your legs but its a bloody nightmare for those of us that haven't. I once chucked up for 6 hours. Last time I ever went out on the boat.
briliant
Thank you Dave. 😊
Wow, I live in West Africa, and your rough day is my flat day.. 😆 1 to 2m+ swells with serious chop ... is just normal ...
Really? I have spent a lot of time in West Africa and in all my time around Nigeria, Ivory Coast, Gabon and Angola I never saw so much as a mild swell.
Nice one as always thanks John. Unlikely I will ever own a boat but very interesting information. Your Garmin is a fine bit of Kit! Some nice size Mackerel still about - we were out shore fishing the Tamar on Monday evening - only a couple of small Macker and loads of tiny Wrasse. Has Jim done a cook up with Mackerel? Be interesting to see what he conjures up! Stay safe & well - Dave.! 🎣🎣👍👍
Haha. Keep that thought in mind mate. 😉👍🏻
Those dreaded eastly winds. Been looking to go shore fishing where I am. Great, sunny weather, but the wind has just been constant of late (North coast). It's just been unfishable. I mainly lure fish, but conditions are making it impossible. Here's to the calmer days, and the influx of fish towards the summer. Tight lines bud and onto the next.
I will drink to that mate. 👍🏻🎣
I use both Panoptix or Livescope depending on the situation. These systems are game changers and actually concern me . Here these combined with cameras are the go to systems for ice fishing. Small bodys of water here will pay a heavy price
This is where education about sustainable and responsible fishing needs to be improved.
I’m late but like always like and enjoy 🍀👍🎣🔥😋👍🍀
Thank you. 😉👍🏻
