Tech Talk - How To Read Garmin Sonar Imaging - Easy Tips To Catch More Fish

Thanks for the info bud. Going on 2nd season with this unit I definitely need to make these adjustments

is this a "bottom machine" or a sonar...because all I see this machine doing is reading the bottom......I have always thought that sonar had the ability to look / see sideways and forward......am I wrong???...because I want the capability to look forward and sideways...so I don't hit a rock or an incline of sand or coral......help please. thanks

How can we realise the direction of fish shoul

Can you search points of interest on land such as store or residential addresses in the GPS section of the new Garmins? I can only seem to find POI,s such as marinas.

Does it records depth and coordinates?. If does, can be exported?

Great tutorial, thanks! Is it possible to find see what kind of bottom it is, like sand, pebbles or rocks? Would be when on anchorage. Would be great with an answer 🙌🏻😊

Great video and too the point, I just added the 10" to my sailboat caught 2 of the biggest Coho Salmon (wild so couldn't keep them) looking to target Kings I am sure it will be a little more adjustment on the fishfinder.

How can you tell you see fish or what is the symbol for fish

Best tutorial yet. Thanks for explaining thoroughly.

How do I adjust this unit when I am running about 40 my unit is flashing?

You go too fast!! And talk too fast!!

I fish Lake Erie and run 20 mph or more, so what are the best settings at higher speeds and what do the marks look like?

Dude... I love your videos and I'm a GIANT Sportsman fan. Looking at a 302 Open next year (I hope!) but I fricken can't stand it when people point to a sonar image and start talking about shit like I know what it is. Seriously. Couple of questions, because I don't understand the sonar thing. (Not much of a fisherman, but I'd like to get more into it when I get a bigger boat)

1) What is the perspective of what I'm looking at? Is this under the boat? Is it in front of the boat? Is it a side view? Am I looking down on it?

2) Please stop pointing at random dots, calling them "live structure" and moving on. Why is it live structure? How can you tell? Why do you guys always say "I'm gonna say" like you just decided it's live structure.

3) What in blue ** is a "live structure"? Is it a fish? Is it a coral? Is it a rock with a personality?

Please and thank you

What unit are you using in the video

Great how too. i tried to wipe down my screen while running messed up my sonar adjustments. how do i set it back to default settings. seems locked on the past view and cant get it back. thanks in advance. im not hearing fishfinder and dont see any fish. just blobs weird and cant get back

Man that’s a really good video for a beginner like me. But, you need to slow down. You are talking and going so fast I can’t follow you.

Howdy, terrific video, most helpful. Was wondering if you have any experience with dealing with the downrigger canon ball returns while using traditional sonar. Ours sometime will read that line as the bottom. any suggestions on this? thanks much

Hi I m new sonar operator. So you can briefing me how can operate sonar device.

I'm still confused about how "scroll speed" works, if I always use ultraspeed when the ship is going slow and fast is it better to know real time in under water. why are there so many categories like slow, medium, fast etc. if ultraspeed is better at reading quickly real time fish in the water.. thank

If I see it on the sonar I’ve already passed it right?

How do I get a noise when fish are detected

Thanks for some good info. I have a gpsmap 8416xsv and would like to know how to focus in on the bottom 30m of 100m of depth. Thanks

Hi there, thanks for the great video. I have a Garmin 74SV. How do I reset the Garman without eliminating the engine data? I’m not really seeing fish on the screen but would like to reset it without having to re-calibrate the Nema set up for twins

Thanks

Thanks! The more info on adjusting sonar you can offer, the better!
