Finding speckled trout with sonar (underwater cam proof!)

[@Riparoo1]

Learning to recognize trout, or any other fish, from sonar is a great help to those of us unfamiliar with the tricks of using electronics. Thanks.

[@FishingwithBrewski]

Thanks. I've been trying for about a year to get good content for a side scan video. That's the real game changer.

[@0riginall337]

Thats super cool

[@FishingwithBrewski]

Working on the next one right now.

[@trippbarrineau410]

Would love to see more

[@FishingwithBrewski]

I'll get to it eventually. We have much bigger things to worry about in NC right now.

[@JohnnyCashswf]

Totally awesome video 👍🏼👍🏼

[@FishingwithBrewski]

I'm editing hours more stuff right now. It really turned out pretty much like I was hoping. I'm using a gopro to take the footage. Gotta be one of the only content creators who doesn't know what they have until they're home.

@@FishingwithBrewski you are doing a great job keep up the hard work.

[@joeydash2185]

Thanks for posting !!! This is great !!!

[@FishingwithBrewski]

Thanks! Y'all have no idea how much comments like this push me to make more. I just wish there was a better way to track their movements.

[@BHnNC]

new subscriber, thanks for what you've done. Can't wait for that Helix settings attempt mentioned in sonar clip!

[@FishingwithBrewski]

What settings attempt exactly? I stay so busy sometimes I lose track of projects. I've been meaning to do a video on sidescan if thats what you mean.

[@BHnNC]

Yes, the mention of helux side scan got my attn

[@FishingwithBrewski]

@@BHnNC I'll make a point to get it done. The trout haven't been too helpful in my area lately but I'll keep working it.

[@FishingwithBrewski]

@@BHnNC I still haven't forgotten the sidescan video. I'll hopefully have good opportunities soon when we get some cooler weather.

[@BHnNC]

@@FishingwithBrewski Do what you do, and enjoy, be worth the wait I'm sure, no rush, tight lines

[@alanreddick6160]

Man this could be life changing for me!!!

[@jeffshamblin3569]

Awesome information! I hope to run into you on our NC waters someday. I’m easy to recognize, half robot (double amputee) trout fisherman!

[@FishingwithBrewski]

I'll be on the lookout for ya.

[@tribalncgaming1091]

what are your settings on the helix? I have a 5si.. and still learning how to use it..

[@FishingwithBrewski]

Sorry I should have put that in the video or the description. I have the same unit exactly and I went through a lot of headache trying to "tune" the SI to get it just right and in the end it works far better after resetting everything to default. I'm going to make a video on the side imaging when I get a chance. SI is the real game changer when you get it working right.

[@elliotthiessen7492]

How did you drop the GoPro's down?

[@FishingwithBrewski]

Couple different ways. One of them I used the little square piece that comes with the gopro display case and strapped some big heavy bolts to it. To that I attached some heavy mono. The other is mounted on an anchor.

[@elliotthiessen7492]

@@FishingwithBrewski You could probably get some good trout school footage at a dock light with the mono.

[@FishingwithBrewski]

@@elliotthiessen7492 The GoPros really struggle in low light conditions. I have definitely thought of trying it but I just doubt the footage would be anything worth watching.
