What A WINNING Spot Looks Like // Side Imaging CRASH COURSE

[@daveengstrom9250]

This is a GREAT video. I am 70 years old and I don't do will trying to experiment with electronics all by myself. This saved me years of fiddling around. I don't have that many left. Thank you for making this video. I am glad you won the tournament.

[@KruiserIV]

This is the only video on side imaging newbies need to watch. Period.

[@Gehqster]

Yes! I’ve been looking for animations like this

[@jamessipes122]

Agree,really helpful

[@davidkoontz24]

The SI demo with the light bulb and paper was the best demo I have EVER seen and I have watched a lot on SI. Your explanation of the water column and how far away objects actually are is awesome. For the first time I actually get it. Thanks!!

[@randallhalley1742]

I don’t have Livescope, but have watched multiple Garmin side-scanning videos and this by far is the best. You are very articulate and explain very well what we are seeing, which we all appreciate. Keep up the great work and good luck fishing. Obviously with your skill set you don’t need as much luck as the rest of us.

[@deshoup1]

Best side scan video I've seen...graphics were outstanding at the beginning to really show how things lay out in 3-D. Only suggestion is you say you have to "subtract" off the depth...that is not really correct. The object's distance is exactly what it says on the unit if you draw a line from the transducer to the object. You can think of this as the hypotenuse of a right triangle (one leg of the right angle is a line dropping from transducer to the bottom, the other right angle side is from the bottom directly under the boat moving to the side (right or left) along the bottom. You do not subtract the depth of the right angle side going from the boat to the bottom from the distance along the bottom's right angle side...instead you measure the hypotenuse to get the distance. So the object is closer than it appears if you just consider distance right/left of boat, but it is not as close as you would calculate if you subtract the depth off of the range. Your model shows this relationship well, but you should not say to subtract off the bottom depth as that will put the distance too close to the boat (you could use geometry to actually calculate it...this is called slant-range correction). Anyhow...all that does not diminish how outstanding this video is...thanks!

[@bradleyrussell1973]

YESSS!!!! Thank you for saving me twenty minutes of typing!

[@chandlerdefebaugh4224]

After a while , you will just be able to be good at guesstimating I’m sure. This video fed me some great info. Looking into getting a side imaging graph. I have a gps map up front for livesvope, but to have lake mapping and side imaging at the wheel could be an efficient combo. With that being said, you guys know your stuff. What’s the best , “bang for your buck,” side imaging graph for lake mapping as well. Thank you .

[@notabob7]

This was probably the best overview on how to interpret side-scan I've come across so far. So many of the vids just go over the individual unit settings, but neglect to explain how to actually tell different things apart, be it structure, bottom types, or fish. Thanks for putting together a solid tutorial on actually understanding what's what on the screen and correlating it to the downscan. Got my first graph on the way and look forward to having a head start when I hopefully begin using it this spring.

[@robertdavidbrunner1891]

You're and incredible teacher and it is evident you put a great deal of thought into the model and examples. As a proud fishing nerd, after 2 minutes, I paused the video, got my camera and computer. I took 13 photos of your examples, all the time taking notes. This is the most educational and concise presentation I've seen. I'm hoping you'll do more. Additionally, as an entrepreneur, I hope you perceive the financial opportunity you have.. Reach out to me if I can help, Again, thank you and I'm viewing the 360 next.

[@mysteryman5213]

I don't even own a boat let alone any electronics yet found this presentation quite interesting. Nicely done T.

[@BassFishingHQ]

Thanks for watching anyways! I appreciate it

[@MikeCostelloOutdoors]

Me too

[@peimanmalekmarzban4633]

To use side imaging you dont have to have a boat. These days kayaks are also good options to put a sonar on them.

[@psa4435]

Hands down, one of the best tutorials on interpreting electronics. Thank you. 🙏

[@basschaser9356]

This channels and “fish the moment “ are the best

[@mightymouse2893]

The best video I've seen explaining side imaging, thank you. I've just spent a ton of money on electronics to up my game (meet my boys expectations of catching fish). I don't fish bass specifically, but feel with a little time on the water and practice, I will have the process mastered. Thank you again.

[@chuckfrezzel348]

One thing that was not mentioned regarding side imaging, the dark spot directly below the transducer/hull and the distance from your boat is directly correlated to the depth of the water you are in. To overcome this problem mark the brush, rock or structure on the screen with a waypoint/GPS then go back over the waypoint and dial in the location precisely with a waypoint edit.

[@davidharris4030]

This enlighten me a lot. For some reason I didn’t put together the major benefit of the split screen until this. I understand it so much more because of the cross referencing. I kinda understood the professionals having multiple graphs but now it really makes more sense. I have a Garmin and plan on setting my split screens up very soon. Also the side imaging with the “ white dots “ enlighten me even more. That part I didn’t know and I realize how far behind I am in the game but at least I know now. Thanks dude!

[@benwilkey2060]

Hands down the most helpful video I’ve ever watched on deciphering sonar images. Well done! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@Jason-nx2vt]

Love all the work you do brother. Making better fisherman of us all. Thank You Sir

[@BassFishingHQ]

I try my best. Thanks for the kind words

[@tbauer2521]

As someone who doesn’t have much interest in bass fishing, this is a fantastic, no nonsense, no speculation channel. Great video.

[@MPDamon]

First Video of yours I have come across. Outstanding!

[@anthonynoe532]

Best side imaging video I’ve watched. Description and information was broken down perfectly.

[@tommeredith2181]

G'day mate. I've actually paused the video to ask this question. It was the only thing in my 4 hours of You Tube and Dr Google that wasn't explained and you did so perfectly. The distance "fold up' of the black space makes perfect sense now and thank you for stopping my brain coming out of my ears. The distance adjustment was something I thought of in other tutorials but never explained. My question is : Why don't the manufacturers factor this in and make it so much less confusing???? Love this vid. Cheers

[@floyd6545]

Good question!

[@stevet876]

I have had side imaging for years, I was missing a ton of information, your video was very helpful, thanks for taking the time.

[@jamesadams1357]

Young man you absolutely killed this video. In fact maybe the best I've saw. Love seeing the the attention and education back on traditional,, SI and DI. Excellent show sir!

[@brent3323]

Best explanation of what's under the boat while side scanning thar I've seen on the internet. Especially the depth/range differential. 1👍

[@mylespfingsten7043]

Best side imaging video on the internet hands down. GREAT work. I am a very experienced user and fully understand side imaging and still learned a few things.

[@Monmorrangr]

This video is so informative. I’m pretty good at locating fish on my side scan. My biggest problem is finding my spot in relation to my boat.

[@BigJay-d2n]

Your a awesome individual for making this video!!! No wonder your a tournament winner!!! Really good job on the video, I totally understand the evuipment now

[@mitch7046]

This video is absolutely awesome. It was exactly what I was looking for. You did a perfect job explaining everything as simple as possible. Thank you very much 👍

[@jeffgapen4522]

Best side imaging video I have watched,yet, nice job explaining and showing it.

[@Nate_Cross]

This is a truly fantastic explanation. Nicely done!

[@BassFishingHQ]

Thank you very much

[@greggomes7231]

ok WOW nice run thanks for sharing. Its a need to watch. Great job did not know much now I do, wish I had extra money but just bought my boat and Humminbird. tapped out but your vid is fantastic. Thank you

[@gsguz9702]

This is the best video tutorial about side imaging, thanks for sharing...

[@williamwood1906]

I am totally amazed at your presentation on side imagining. It’s light years from the Hummingbird Super 60 flasher I used way back when. I just wanted to say thank you for explaining it all. Very educational

[@danknight8058]

Great job of explaining what you see when using side-imaging. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

[@rispcrisp5692]

Just got a Tracker Pro 170 and I’m looking to upgrade the little stock lowrance to one of these humminbirds. This video helped me to pull the trigger. Thanks for the awesome explanation!

[@degloff]

Wow - this is amazing and demystifies a lot. Very much appreciated.

[@sethdisanto1960]

Please know that the analytics for this video are going to be messed up cause I’m gonna watch this about 50 more times!!! AWSOME video. More More More!!!

[@dakotasexton1942]

Ur videos have been helping me alot im new to the electronics game with fishing i really appreciate u taking the time to break this stuff down for us to learn

[@c.shoefish]

EXCELLENT video I'll definitely be utilizing mine more now, thanks bro

[@luckyleelopez3147]

Awesome Video. thank you !! makes SI so much easier to understand

[@ronknight779]

Home run!!! Mic drop! I couldn't ask for a more detailed explanation for using my Solix. Now, an on-the-water followup would be icing on the cake showing how you position your boat and lure selection. Thanks.

[@llc5966]

Hands down the best Video I've seen.

[@simtsoz4905]

Thanks for this simplified explanation of the use of side imaging.

[@victorgatelljr.5753]

Wow! Awesome instructor. Thank you for this

[@markdoerr5529]

Well done Tyler great info for newbie,s and great refresher for an old guy lol. That boat looked like a small sailboat. Keep up the great vids.

[@harryduncan6699]

Best video I’ve found on Side Imaging. Great teaching video!

[@hesster8]

Man. The paper props are awesome. I am a visual learner and this helps a ton.

[@bobbyhogan9207]

Without a doubt, the best and most informative idea on using my Bird I have EVER watched 😎 Thanks so much Sir for sharing. I will be re-watching this one. Great job of teaching 👊😎

[@foggybottombbq1916]

One of the best side imaging review that I have seen. Nice work.

[@HolyokeHighSchoolVideoProducti]

Best video that has ever been posted to KZbin. Ty you are king!

[@billvarady1091]

Wow by far the best video I have seen. Thanks for taking the time to create this...

[@RFishingtx]

This is the best video out there in regards to understanding SI.

[@NicholasWilder-lf7qm]

By far, the best video on side imaging.

[@okiefish7066]

Man this is the best explanation ive ever seen on side imaging! Thanks for this!!

[@G20cman1]

Great job brother, best video on the subject matter. Keep up the good work.

[@DanielBoone337]

Really great video brother I understood this breakdown of sid imaging better then any other one I've watched...

[@black.beerd.fishing.gaming]

Saved to "Fishing Technique" playlist. Thanks man

[@Loomis_Fishin]

Im in the process of buying a boat now and this was definitely some need to know information. Awesome videos, keep the content coming.

[@chs417]

man what a great video! thanks for taking the time you put in to get these out here where we can learn from you

[@BillQuick-qo6lp]

Great refresher for me. I always pick up something new that will help. Awesome stuff!

[@MrPhoenix1800]

I kayak and only have DI I find it pretty hard to get a clear picture of what's really going on underwater. I am still trying to get the most out of only having Di. cant wait to get a boat, great video by the way very easy to follow and you do a great job trying to help the viewer understand what it really looks like underwater.

[@mikeantes9597]

Thanks Ty. What a great help, always looking to get better with my electronics .Thanks again and God bless you and your family!!!

[@tdflooringtd]

You're the best at explaining electronics. Keep doing you buddy!! You kick ass

[@Wake_4_Bass]

This was an extremely informative video an very big help!

[@donbarks6712]

Really good breakdown on understanding what your looking at. Very well done with dumbing it down with the paper an light illustration brought me to new light on underneath me

[@paparayfishing2000]

Very informative and clearly explained. Thank you for your time

[@bobwall6673]

Best video out there on this subject

[@bigmac183]

You should give classes for hummingbird! Kayak para-angler here with a helix 5. Best class man will need to support. Nothing but gems!!

[@chetchelios3574]

You can adjust your image mapping to your speed you like to search in your boat. That will keep a clearer picture.

[@BenEaddy]

Great content. Thanks, Ty

[@tigertank123]

Thanks so much Tyler...by far the best content available...great detail!

[@bucnbas]

This was the best info on side imaging I've every seen thank you

[@bigtrout]

Very helpful. Obviously it takes time to train the eye. I’ve had little success with side imaging other than spotting brush, stumps etc. I see now the fish aren’t going to “jump out” of the screen and a lot of what we are looking for, even structure, is likely to be much smaller than expected.

[@hansk781]

Sehr, Sehr gut erklärt das ich noch einiges besser verstanden habe super, danke 👍👏 🙋

[@papaduck2443]

Man, this video is awesome! Great job Tyler! I have never seen an explanation of side imaging like this but it is perfect for guys like me who just cant picture it well. Great job!

[@BassFishingHQ]

Glad that it helped. Thank you for watching

[@JARRODI]

Outstanding! I learnt a lot!

[@k.c.klarner5713]

Thank you for this video. Very helpful.

[@michaelgraybill223]

Very happy I found this and your channel, great info. I'll be watching many more.

[@droutdoors1991]

This was a very well made, and informative video. Thanks

[@TravisInCanada1]

Garmin owner but came to learn SI better. Probably the most comprehensive video on learning Side Imaging on KZbin. You would think the manufacturers of these electronics would make videos like this...

[@robertapreston4200]

This was amazing!!!! You really pit it all out there.... wow! This is a course you could sell, dude..

[@coachrandall8190]

Great video. I'm new to fishing from a boat and have a hook reveal. I've learned alot from your video. Thanks.

[@chrisw8259]

Great job on the video. I would like to call attention to one thing though: the Biggest Mistake. Because sonar always goes in a straight line, when something shows up at 50 feet, it REALLY IS 50 feet away from the transducer. However, 50' away does NOT mean 50' to the side. But it's not as simple as subtracting the depth either. To know the exact horizontal distance, you need some trigonometry. The depth is one leg, the horizontal distance is the other leg, and the sonar distance is the hypotenuse. The good news is that as long as the target is more than two times the water depth, the adjustment to find the true horizontal distance is small. The key to remember is that it will always be closer than reported, but the amount closer depends on water depth and sonar distance to the target. Shallow water and large sonar distance, little correction is needed. When the sonar distance is barely more than the water depth, the target is practically under the boat.

[@tommiks5649]

Very good presentation and explanation very useful and educational Tyler. I don't have side imaging but I do have a Helix 5 down imagining. I'd really like to see an indepth about settings and how I can use it better. I'm a newbie to it and I'm old. 😅 I suffer from CRS. 😂 Thanks for the above average content!

[@douglasporterfield8681]

Great video! I am still learning to use my side scan and this was VERY helpful at understanding what I’m seeing.

[@craigpeters3165]

This is the best SI video I've seen.

[@kenmccarthyfishing]

Excellent video and well explained,thank you 👊❤️

[@thebasswicker6294]

Excellent video brother!

[@BobBrooksFishing]

GOOD GOD! I have been enlightened! THX!

[@kylesaunders9112]

Fantastic video! Thank you!

[@maxcole3930]

I originally wanted a 10" solix fory kayak, but end of last winter I was able to pick up a 10" Garmin echomap Ultra 106sv for 758+ tax after sales & bass pro club points. Then I added steady cast heading sensor & Lvs34 system late January. Between sales, coupon codes BP club points which is cash in store. I ended up paying 2350+ tax for all of that! The 10" Solix or 10" hds pro is running 2799.99 by themselves. Been extremely happy with my set up so far. Its actually my first fishing electronics. In my opinion hummingbird still has best side imaging but Garmin's GT56 & new hd3n1 are so close, its not worth price difference for what I paid. Garmin definitely has edge on LS. Lowrance doesn't really have an edge with anything anymore. Their bad to almost non-existent customer support is what completely ruled them out for me.

[@jeffgapen4522]

Please do more, I am learning alot from you, Thank-You

[@TurdFerguson1000]

Great video. Great! Prefer this much more than podcast style vids

[@quickshiftgt]

I don't usually comment on videos, but this was very well done. Thanks for the explanations and great examples. I am fairly new to kayak fishing with a side imaging transducer and does really take a trained eye to pick up on what you're actually looking at. Learned a few things from this. Well done. I did have one question: in one section of the video, your downscan was picking up some fish that were also shown what I assumed to be pretty far off the side of your boat where I wouldn't have expected a "down" scan to see them. What kind of cone/radius/angle do downscans typically see?

[@joewinkler2168]

That was the best of all u tube to date with side images

[@BenjaminHibbler]

Thanks , great detale. I just bought a side scan unit. Great video that will helpme find fish.

[@jasonemeric9902]

This was awesome. I'm a bank angler but still found this fascinating. Now I can watch KZbin and not be confused lol

[@chris.fishinguk]

Hey dude thanks for the video! Excellent content very helpful

[@lifeisfuneh]

What a great presentation! Thank you Sir!

[@spinningrodfisherman]

Excellent presentation well explained and good graphics as well

[@masongarcia8954]

I was just watching your whopper plopper video and now we’re here lol

[@BassFishingHQ]

I’ve made a few whopper plopped videos

[@scotthenderson4376]

I have a Garmin with side view and still learning. This was a great information video My lake has most that you describe. I did see the bluegill beds with fish couple weeks ago. Haven't seen the roads, stumps and other fish so far. Maybe I'll see some crappy finally this weekend.
