For years about all I understood what my fish finder was showing was the depth. Then I found your sonar for dummies videos and I began to understand what I am seeing on the screen! Thanks captain Mike!
That’s awesome Bill!! Thanks brother!!! I appreciate your continued support!!🙏😁
In general, the TI units are faster in response to inputs. This is seen when quickly switching between sonar, downscan, chart, and split screens ruclips.net/user/postUgkxeAxH15LxhjGlg5-CRYqjTGTEH0tbY4vk recommend The Hook units will show some lag on button pushes and screen switching. The big ticket item though is maps. If you install a mapping card such as Navionics or the free C-Map Genesis which has a lot of map detail, then moving around the map with the cursor or when running down the lake can lag significantly on the Hook units, but is seamless with the TI units.
Great video Mike! All your sonar videos are beyond helpful at making me a better fisherman!
Thanks brother!! I really appreciate that!!🙏🙏😁👍
Awesome as hell. Always dig the content.
Thanks brother!!! 👍🙏😁

Another great informative video. I learn alot but just don't get enough practice time on the water. My boat trips are 2-3 weeks apart and alot changes in 2 weeks. But I keep SPOONING away at it 👍
Great info, like always thanks, brother always learning 👍
Thanks brother!!!!🙏🙏🙏😁
Great examples, thanks!
Thanks brother!👍👍🙏
A great video as always. I fish the Pacific NW in tributaries and most anglers don’t use sonar very well. I hope with all of these videos I will hone my skills. Thanks for all you put into these videos
Thanks Matt! Side and Downscan really are great tools. They absolutely catch more fish for me.
Thanks for that Mike! Great information. :)
Thanks Keith!

Thank you Keith!! I appreciate the feedback! Glad you like it. 🙏🙏
Great information Mike thank you.
Thanks brother!!! I appreciate it!!🙏😁

Ha! I’ve lost many nets over the years on lakes. Never in salt, but MANY in lakes 😆
Thx Mike! I enjoyed that!
Awesome!! Thanks brother!!🙏🙏🙏👍😁

Awesome!! Thanks brother!!🙏🙏🙏👍😁
awesome vid
Thanks William!! Your continued support really helps us out in the days of “shorts videos only” get recommended. 👍👍🙏🙏🙏
It is awesome,if your not sure what it is on your chirp,switch to down scan and I am betting you will understand and know what is there,just experimenting on different objects in the water will definitely help be a better sonar user,!!! Thanks Mike
You said a mouthful my brother!!! Thanks!🙏🙏😁👍
Very helpful
Thanks brother!!! I appreciate the support!!🙏😁
Fantastic fantastic. Need ALL but forward seeking
Thanks brother!👍🙏
Slammin info😎
Awesome!! Thanks brother!!🙏🙏🙏👍😁
Thank ypu
Awesome video
Thanks brother!! I appreciate your support 🙏🙏🙏👍
This video was very helpful with the interpretation of the screens. I would like a tutorial on how to set your screen up like this because I'm new to side/down scan
Thanks Zeke!! Check out my sonar fishfinder playlist for side scan setup. 👍👍. Let me know if it helps. 🙏
yes sir
Good video
Thanks brother!!! I appreciate the support!!🙏😁
Great info! Some of that footage looks familiar! Lol
You know it. Our trolling vid is doing well still. Thanks brother!!🙏🙏🙏👍😁
I use two units. Hummingbird Helix for 2D and Navigation, Garmin Striker for down scan. 2D on garmin is too cartoonish. Both work well together. Wish I had Side scan but $$$ tight these days.
DownScan split screen 2D is the best way to learn fish and structures 👌
Definitely!!! 👍👍
At time hack 2:09 to 2:13 what are all of the lines on the 2D? Downscan does not show any lines?
Great vid :)! Do you have any plans to make a video explaining how to understand whats om the sonar if fishing just a few meters deep? We often have a lots of weed and stuff and its kind of difficult to see the fish from all the grass and djungle rising up from the bottom...
Thanks brother!! Check out my sonar for dummies videos. One video has first 6 lessons and another has all 11 lessons. Lots of freshwater sonar on those videos. Let me know how you liked them and if they helped. 🙏🙏👍👍
Yeah I got a depth finder I can’t get it set up right you got any tips
If im using downscan (transducer located on transom) and im not moving(maybe a bit of drift from wind) doing vertical jigging would I see my jig on the downscan if fishing from the rear of the boat?
Just got a lowrance hook reveal 7 tripleshot and I do mostly vertical jigging so wondering what feature would show me jigging? Regular sonar/downscan/or side scan
I know live would have done a better job of that but couldn't find a 7" version to fit my dash I could afford.
Another great video, at what depth do you switch from 800 to 455 on downscan ?
Thanks brother. 800 for everything with Active Imaging 👍👍👍
Hello, I would like to ask you a question. My friend has a Garmin GPS and he gave me the fishing spots that he has on his map but he gave them to me in an sd memory. and I would like to know if I can transfer it to the simrad thank you
Great question. It’s worth a try. Pop the card in and pull up the files. I have transferred from Lowrance to Simrad this way, but they have similar operating systems. You might need to pull up the numbers from each waypoint and enter manually.
if i overlay use downscan 445khz and traditional high chirp is that correct setting because i fishing with kayak saltwater shallow around 60 or 100ft. sry if my english not good 😅.
I wouldn’t do that. Instead, turn on fish reveal in your down scan menu. 👍👍
great video! question---Why 105 kHz on sonar and 455 kHz on downscan?
I like 105 is shallow water sometimes, but use HIGH CHIRP mostly. 455 is best in shallow water with every side scan transducer except for Active Imaging transducer.
Are you using the simrad active imaging 3 in 1 transducer?
Yes sir. I actually still have a pre-production transducer. 😛
Have a question looking for answers I’ve got 3 lowrance finders on a Ranger bass boat cockpit is a Hook 9 and a hook 3x on the front is a lowrance elite5ti all lowrance the 5ti is at the trolling motor a minn kotta torrova the previous owner said one was not hooked up as fish finder that it needed an extra wire he never said witch finder any ideas how to find out I’m really just a throw and go fisherman I set the boat up for catfishing but I do a lot of crappie fishing when the wife allows I’ve messed with the finders a little would like to know witch one it is my only guess is he was using the hook 9 as navigation and gps any comments would help
The Hook displays can’t be networked together so I guess he’s using it as a chart plotter only. There really isn’t a wire that will change anything. What he was probably hesitant to tell you, was that you need an additional transducer for it if you want sonar as well as chart plotter GPS.
I just bought a helix 7 MDI g4.
I almost got a simrad but the focuses on the down imaging.
👍👍
@@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS You're videos have helped me so much. You were the FIRST person to teach me anything about a fish finder.
What brand spoon do you use and where can I get them?
Thanks
We use Ben Parker spoons. There is a link in the description 👍👍we use mostly 8” in team old school copper and gold.
So are you saying that you have both screens (down scan & 2 D ) up at the same time?? or you are just going by "down scan" since you get more detail??
Yes, I’m using both at the same time. Down has better detail, but isn’t as fast as 2D.
How do you get such clean readings in saltwater environment?
The Simrad Evo3 is the best display you can get. The Airmar 175 high wide transducer is the best Sportfishing transducer I’ve ever seen. 👍👍👍
I’ve had my boat about 6 months and it’s an older Lawrence on it but I can’t get the arches. I only get blobs never arches. Why is that?
It could be many things, older transducers don’t always show arches on every display. Newer CHIRP transducers seem to always show arches. You might also have interference filters on. Those are the two most common reasons. I’ve had displays with older technology and transducers that never showed arches no matter what. You could mark fish, but they were always blobs.
@@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS the unit it’s that old only about 2015.
Total scan or 3n1 active imaging transducer. Set on 455 ?
Active imaging. It only has 800. Any other side scan I would use 455.
What setup are you using in this video?
Simrad Evo3 active imaging transducer.
What spoon do you suggest for freshwater?
I use the same in lakes. 8” copper and gold/chrome mostly but all chrome and yellow are great too.
How do u select palets
@@Greataviator1 go to your regular sonar page. Upper right menu will have it in advanced settings.
So why even use the 2d sonar?
Speed. It’s the fastest. It show’s returns in real time with no delay. It also marks fish on plane best.
