So helpful! 1 year into using my first fish finder (garmin echomap) with my kayak and didn't really know to how to use it efficiently. I don't have a live scope but this was really helpful
I like how you showed how you search and things you are looking for. Then you started fishing. I wish you would have showed what you found that made you stop and start to fish.
“When they’re biting, it’s hard to leave them.” That’s True! I also never realize how much better it is on Garmin 2D. Great content you put out Travis!
Crazy I was just on this boat last weekend. Fishing with the guy you sold it to. I was actually watching your video when I got picked up going to the potomac. And he said "this is his old boat"
I love this video! Thank you Travis! I am now motivated for Lake Mead. Going to try these tips and try to finish well in the US Open! I’ll keep you posted. Checked out the bait. I’ll try some 👍🏻🎣🏆
Is your console bird using a shoot thru ducer in your bilge? Could the fiberglass “resistance” be the difference between the bird sonar signal and the garmin signal?
Does reeling against the drag like that create a lot of line twist? how are you not getting line twist? You are using mono right? Hmm.. informative video. Thanks.
thanks for the tricks. Are you drifting or you stay anchor? On the St-Lawrence they is so much current is hard to stay anchor, the bait is moving to much, so to have the bait no to move I have to put a heavy weight 1/2 oz to 3/4. what are you using for weight setup
Great video. Which Garmin model do you use? I was going to upgrade to Bird G4N but after watching this might go with Garmin for mapping and 2d (I've never seen a fish on my Bird's 2d)
Yeah it looked like he was using high chirp setting on the bird 2d but in my experience the medium/high chirp sonar on the humminbird shows so much more than just the high frequency. I don’t think it was a fair comparison
Timely video. This will be how I'm fishing this weekend. Deep water drop shotting. What other finesse technics will you fish for deep water smallies.??
"slightly bigger"? I wish I caught fish that big Great video, though. That was fun to watch. I would like to fish with you. Just sit back and let the video monitor guide you
I do not get near that much clutter on my striker 4/ice transducer shooting directly through my aluminum floor.... Only time I see that is when my buddy puts his helix 7 ducer beam right into mine...
Great video! However, I own both humminbird and Garmin and I do a lot of deeper graphing (My Garmin addition is recent so not lots of experience yet)... but I don’t know that you are really giving the humminbird 2d a fair shot based off your settings (it appeared you had the birds 2d in just high chirp frequency). If that’s the case you should try putting the humminbird 2d sonar to medium/high chirp sonar frequency and not just high Chirp and then compare to the Garmin. Also prob turn your surface clutter on or up. I might be wrong but I don’t think that bird is getting a fair comparison...
Was going to say the same thing. The bird 2D is on the high frequency setting here. Also, the cone is more narrow with a high frequency beam which is why the school of perch is less impressive on the bird. The high frequency beam is more useful for high speed scanning. I can mark fish up on plane easily with mine.
I miss these videos Travis. Heading up to TI and I think this will help . THANKS
Sandusky Bay is an awesome spot to go fishing and to watch trains at too! One of the most scenic places in the US. Have a good night!

Thanks Travis! Really enjoyed this video. Very encouraging and educating. Those electronics can be frustrating for me.
Good vid.
Thanks!!
I have two hummins. The garmin is wow!
This is just what I was looking for. Thank you 🙏
awesome job showing what to look for on depth finders i would like see more in future
Good ol'gem of a video Travis...going to share to 613BASS'N
Happy New Year man!
Excellent teaching points,thank you ☕️☕️
Glad you enjoyed it
Enjoyed your video very much and it was very helpful
great video could you do video on settings for setting up a unit for begginners have echo map plus 93sv fishing upper bay aea
I like how you showed how you search and things you are looking for. Then you started fishing. I wish you would have showed what you found that made you stop and start to fish.
Great content Crush! Like the way you explained the livescope deal.
How are you get the forward and down are you running two separate transducers? If so can you show how they are mounted?
“When they’re biting, it’s hard to leave them.” That’s True!
I also never realize how much better it is on Garmin 2D. Great content you put out Travis!
Great vid! Great explaining the sonars also.
Excellent video Travis. Learned a lot, Thank you!
Drop shot and ned rig for smallies are the goat
Heavy tube cough cough lol
Crazy I was just on this boat last weekend. Fishing with the guy you sold it to. I was actually watching your video when I got picked up going to the potomac. And he said "this is his old boat"
Travis... Great Video.. Id love to see some more vids like this... on Live Scope and Side Imaging and how to tell what is a fish and what isnt.
Awesome video man. Your how to videos have really taught me a lot. What color spirit you using
To summarize, you’ll find structure without bass, but never bass without structure. Good tip on dead sticking’ your drop shot. 😊😊😊😊
Best info yet , thanks .
great stuff👍
I love this video! Thank you Travis! I am now motivated for Lake Mead. Going to try these tips and try to finish well in the US Open! I’ll keep you posted. Checked out the bait. I’ll try some 👍🏻🎣🏆
Great video thanks
Hey whats ups. Great videos. Do you use the livescope while idleing?
Hey Travis do you have any problems with interference between units or transducers when mixing units on your boat? Thanks bud take care and stay safe.
Is your console bird using a shoot thru ducer in your bilge? Could the fiberglass “resistance” be the difference between the bird sonar signal and the garmin signal?
Good Stuff Travis!
With your setup and how deep the water is that you are scanning, you might benefit from using contour mode on the birds side imaging.
Derrick House especially if he has the DI and Sonar already showing what’s in the water column....
@@danholland4815 That's right! Contour mode on Humminbird is a forgotten/not talked about feature, but when used properly it can be very helpful.
Another good video. You should have called I may have been up for another trip. After all it was my birthday. The new toys are on the way!!
Color 16 for sonar on humminbird is juice try it sometime...
Henderson bay boat ramp, launched there today...
Does reeling against the drag like that create a lot of line twist? how are you not getting line twist? You are using mono right? Hmm.. informative video. Thanks.
Travis what length and action rod do you recommend for tubes
Hey Travis do you use the Quick Draw in the Garmin mapping
thanks for the tricks. Are you drifting or you stay anchor? On the St-Lawrence they is so much current is hard to stay anchor, the bait is moving to much, so to have the bait no to move I have to put a heavy weight 1/2 oz to 3/4. what are you using for weight setup
He's spot locked there with the force
Spot lock is a game changer. I fish the Lawrence as well.
Ok I have a question. Does this work on a shallow (3 to 6 ft) river???? That has 10 to 15kcfs?
Reppin the Harbor I see. That’s some great home territory if you get on em
Great video! Thank!
What settings are you running on the livescope?
Appreciate the tips. What body of water is this on?
Great video. Which Garmin model do you use? I was going to upgrade to Bird G4N but after watching this might go with Garmin for mapping and 2d (I've never seen a fish on my Bird's 2d)
Was it a 7 or what!!! Great video!
close
You could definitely change some setting on the humminbird 2d to get a much better picture.
Franco Di Corpo yes need to turn up the sensitivity until you have some surface clutter. Once you get that then you will mark the fish
@@johncoopes1056 oh I know. I was telling him.
Yeah it looked like he was using high chirp setting on the bird 2d but in my experience the medium/high chirp sonar on the humminbird shows so much more than just the high frequency. I don’t think it was a fair comparison
@@FishcastAngling I agree 100%
Good work broham
Dope vid 🙌

Travis are they Waterland shades you have on
No I misjudged. Had me excited. Just over 6
Yes I’ve been messing with those sunglasses for a bit. I’m impressed so far
Been while, good shit
I think looking at those front graphs would make my eyes go crazy
What lake is this?
I do not get near that much clutter on my striker 4/ice transducer shooting directly through my aluminum floor.... Only time I see that is when my buddy puts his helix 7 ducer beam right into mine...

What size Spirit Shad??
Who makes the spirit shad? Thanks
What lake ????
Do you always fish with your drag that loose?
Yes but I will admit it was a tad bit loose but not by much
can i fish with you?
👋👍👍👍👍
Did it weigh 7?
Well???? Was it a 7? Looked 5'ish on camera.
Instead of idling around all day....read Buck Perry's Spoonplugging book and you won't have to!
how big was that fish u never did say
Not 7…that’s for sure!
Why medium-light? Those aren’t small fish. They seem to not be bait shy.
I feel I get a better hook up with a ML in deep water
Broham don't show these guys all this, let em figure it out themselves. Lol cats out of the bag now. Does epic Eric know of this?
7?!
You got a lot interference going on there on all sonars .
Expecailly? Especially is the word. Sorry.
