    This was one of your best videos. Nobody does 2d tutorials 👏

    I don’t even have 2D sonar. I’ve always used either a heavy Carolina rig or a 1 oz jig to figure out the depth changes and what’s on the bottom. Of course I’m a 73 year old rookie 😅

    You need to get in contact with RetroBassin....awesome channel dedicated to old school lures, gear, and I'm sure his boat would take you back a few decades...could prolly even score some lures you haven't fished in 30 years

    As a bank angler that has a deeper pro plus 2 I appreciate these types of videos. It doesn't tell me everything, but seeing how the bottom comes up really helps me fish more efficiently and effectively. Can't wait to try it out for offshore fishing if I ever get another kayak.

    Really enjoy your vids. I agree with your concept of "catch fish minus tech". This vid didn't need the electronics, know the conditions. I was recently on Lake Wapapello and from your vids, I knew where to target, without sonar. Keep up the good work, as a suggestion maybe show more bank or river fishing, but I watch your channel every day . Cheers

  • @alanwinge8775

    Yes, Randy flashers are still available from Vexilar and MarCum. I really like my Vexilar flashers and there is a transducer available that can shoot through an aluminum boat.

    I’m mainly a kayak fisher man I’ve had great success with the lowrance hook 5(it’s actually a 7). Had it for three years now and it has GPS, 2D sonar, downscan and sidecan. The maps definitely aren’t accurate but for the price it’s been a solid unit. Just wanted to throw it out there but Randy’s tips have put more fish in the boat than any electronics have

    I still have a flasher on my 20 year old bass boat. I still use it, and I find it useful for depth and thermocline.

    I would really love to fish with you sometime and learn more from each other. And the thing about taking in nature and everything you are right it totally clears and trains the mind,heart,spirit,soul and body. Thank you for the memory flash back of me and my grandfather bass fish together again. The best tournament bass fisherman I could probably of ever known the trophies I saw alone couldn't even match up to his success. I really wish you could of met him. I watched his last breath from old age he went peaceful in his sleep.

    I have a 2014 Ranger Z521C with 2014 Lowrance electronics. My HDS 10 units have a flasher in the unit. I was surprised. One day, while graphing and switching screens, I found it. Just saying.

    Randy. Your Hummingbird HELIX may have flasher display. Would love to see you catch fish in the water with flasher or 2D sonar

  • @joshuamurphy8270
    @joshuamurphy8270 Год назад

    Randy I finally got my grandfather used to do the samething with his 2D Sonar unit he had an old Eagle and taught me right of that. And you also gave the best advice you can give an angler period you all these guys fishing all theses high tech units they are only going to fizzle down from us 2D guys because of their ping's,bean's or lazers. Where we can vertical fish with a lot of and catch a lot of fish also. And I have been thinking and for all theses guy's with all this high tech unit's and everything. I can probably beat all theses by only seeing vertical fish and blind to all the rest of them actually I know I can. I think I finally got your point Randy.

  • @DustinCopenhaver
    @DustinCopenhaver Год назад

    Doesn't the humminbird have a flasher screen you can turn on in settings. Not sure about the newer units but my old 798 had that option.

  • @jasonbroom7147
    @jasonbroom7147 Год назад +6

    You realize that 30 years ago, when 2D sonar started becoming affordable, "old-school" fishermen were going on and on about how that's cheating and how anyone could catch fish if they were using all that fancy technology. Kinda like the noise you make about forward-facing sonar, livescope, or any other new wrinkle in the game.

  • @mikeantes9597
    @mikeantes9597 Год назад

    Thanks Randy but seeing fish and catching fish are two different things .Would have been nice to see you try and catch those fish.

  • @comfortablynumb9342
    @comfortablynumb9342 Год назад

    When I see the schools of bait on your sonar I want to break out the sabiki rigs and see what kind of bait it is. That's a saltwater trick I haven't seen done in freshwater. A string of hooks with little feathers and a weight at the bottom is used to catch bait, or you can just find out exactly what bait there is so you can copy it with your lures. I don't know if shad or whatever will bite hooks but if so you could use that trick to ID whatever is down there. When I see that bottom finder I think it's time to catch that bait and get to trolling slow or bottom fishin'. That's why I watch, or ine reason, I have to unlearn stuff. Or maybe to modify my salty tricks.

  • @JayDavis81
    @JayDavis81 Год назад

    One tip I'll give you, turn on your oscilloscope feature. That's instant feedback and tells you exactly where to drop your marker buoy.

  • @af4od02

    How do you determine the chart speed per boat speed?

    • @fisherman9317
      @fisherman9317 Год назад +1

      Some anglers match the boat speed and chart speed (2 mph = chart speed on 2, 3 mph = chart speed on 3, and so on). Other anglers will put the chart speed one above the boat speed. I’m not sure which is right, or if it’s just a matter of opinion.

    • @af4od02
      @af4od02 Год назад

      @@fisherman9317 thank you for passing this info along. I had never thought of matching chart speed to boat speed. I will put this info to use. Thanks and tight lines.

    My 40 year old flasher conked out last year and I scoured the earth for a new transducer but none were available. I was forced to modernize to 2D sonar. I miss my flasher.

    I'm still rockin a Lowrance HDS 5 on my rig. Can't say I see dudes on my lake with 100K boats doing much better. But I do see them looking down all the time and missing a lot of nature right in front of them.

    Get you a dug out canoe, fashion together some line from a silk worm, whittle you a little wooden hook and dig up some worms. Who needs a 250 and 10’ poles. Lose the carbon rods too straight cane pole. Really take it back to basics 😅

    Good point but I’ll trade you. I have a flasher still.

  • @sprinter144
    @sprinter144 Год назад

    Why not just start casting lures out away from the bank and work your way closer in? 90% of the time that’s what I do. I use 2d to make sure I don’t get too shallow in stained water. As far as Johnny goes he spends hours using side imaging marking fish before he even casts a lure so maybe not a great example (just saying). I have no problem with anyone using any type of sonar. What I have a problem with is catching fish and leaving them in the livewell for hours. There was a study done of fish kill rate of professional anglers in tournaments and about 16% of the fish died after release. You can imagine what that rate is for anglers who don’t have very good systems. The kayak tournaments and MLF have the two best systems.

    Take em to the water,but you can’t make them drink ,if forward facing sonar is ok what of cameras . Don’t they fall into the same category,look but don’t touch ,only if we say it’s ok ,company’s that make underwater cameras should complain it’s unfair
