Garmin Striker 4 ice fishing demo

[@user-bf5rf4hs8v]

I dunno half the things this thing can do but it accurately tells me the depth and I can watch my crab pots drop into the sea. Also shows you the fishies swimming around under you - I’d get it again in a heartbeat

[@staffordshires2]

Yes, your right. Lots of things it can do, in time we will figure it all out.

[@bcreed9348]

Just bought this unit. Foaming at the mouth right now waiting for 1st ice here in central ND.

[@staffordshires2]

Thank you for your comment, you will be happy with this unit! I think I will be going out with my son this weekend. Hope I have gained another subscriber!

[@bcreed9348]

@Jeffro Lans no I didn't, and I was just trying to figure out how I would keep the darn thing level 😂

[@Tetra1015]

Me too, hoping fishing at Audobon will be good this year

[@StoneCutter099]

In the market for this unit. Thanks for showing it a bit. Great sunset capture at the end.

[@RUMXHAM]

Awesome. Wanting to buy this and this video helps a lot!

[@BK-tp3sg]

I mount my transducer on a Irwin quick clamp. I clamp the edge of the hole. But we don’t get 36” of ice

[@staffordshires2]

Thanks for watching and for your comment. We sometimes have to put on a 10" extension to get through the ice here in central Saskatchewan.

[@supitsdosh]

Should do a video on the bag you made for it. Really cool!

[@staffordshires2]

Hi, thanks for watching and commenting. If you go to my channel I do have a video of making this fish finder portable.. hope I gained another subscriber!!

[@Ryan-jp8jz]

I can't make my garmin do half of what you're showing. It definitely doesn't display my lure or weight like you've shown. What are your settings?

[@staffordshires2]

You may have to set the sensitivity on your unit..

[@Fyyt]

This thing is badass and can't wait to buy mine!!

[@staffordshires2]

Thanks for the comment, I can’t wait to try it out with the ice transducer. Hope I gained another subscriber..

[@joshuasuriner7605]

i just picked up the striker 4 plus ice bundle because of your video.. cheers mate!

[@staffordshires2]

That’s awesome, you will love it. Did the bundle come with the ice transducer? Thanks for watching my video, hope you subscribed.

[@joshuasuriner7605]

@@staffordshires2 it did, yeah. i have a dakota lithium 10ah in the mail now.. i'm so excited for 2020 season!! cheers from Berkshire, Mass

[@staffordshires2]

Wish mine had the ice transducer, I don't really want to spend $120 plus taxes buying the ice transducer, seems quite overpriced.

[@joshuasuriner7605]

@@staffordshires2 seems worth it.. i gotta get the transducer for a boat.. so same river different boats lol

[@staffordshires2]

@@joshuasuriner7605 the one I got came with the summer (boat) transducer, I have to save up to buy the ice transducer.. good luck fishing!

[@TheMichiganFisherman]

My screen always seems to jump up and down with my ice transducer. I wonder if there's a problem with it.

[@staffordshires2]

Could be, or maybe the connection??

[@mattdillon8786]

Do you need a special transducer for the ice?

[@staffordshires2]

In this video I am just using the transducer it came with. But you can buy the ice fishing transducer if you want.

[@lanefehr7939]

Thinking of getting this. I am a fairly new fisherman from Canada 🇨🇦. Just to do a bit of ice fishing with. Would you recommend for somebody new like me? Good video!

[@staffordshires2]

Lane, thanks for commenting. I wouldn't hesitate on one of these units, but if you didn't want to make a setup like this one, you could purchase the portable bundle. They are very easy to use.

[@dank5580]

I feel like I have a lot of interference with mine especially small jigs. What setting you running.

[@staffordshires2]

Not sure now, this video is a little old, sorry.. but in time playing with the settings you will hit the sweet spot..

[@re2553]

Adjust the gain manually between 67 to 70

[@rzambory2938]

Hey, thank you for the video. Well Done !

[@justinbozarth5910]

36 inches of ice

[@bigdawgwb2013]

Do you have to by the transducer

[@staffordshires2]

It comes with a transducer for your boat. It will work, since in this video that is what I am using. But you can buy the optional ice transducer.. thanks for watching!

[@headinthemountains1666]

Just wondering how you put your transducer down the hole......did you rig something up or just throw it down the hole? What is the advantage of the ice transducer? Thanks for sharing

[@staffordshires2]

I'm sorry if I didn't show the way I use the transducer with this unit. What I do is get a chunk, maybe 1' long of 5/8" pipe insulation, it is what is used on hot water pipes for household plumbing. Put the transducer wire into the slotted insulation once, then take the transducer and put the wire through the insulation again. Then you can adjust the wire to whatever depth the ice is so the transducer hangs just under the bottom of the ice. The pipe insulation will keep the transducer afloat. Hope this makes sense, thanks for watching, and commenting, hope you have subscribed!

[@headinthemountains1666]

@@staffordshires2 Its hard to find youtube vids on the transducer set up (rig up) using the garmin "boat" transducer for ice. Appreciate the reply from here in Alberta

[@GrandAngling]

Is this the striker 4 plus? What transducer do you have? And what mode is that you are using

[@staffordshires2]

Not the plus, just the Striker 4.. the transducer is the boat transducer which came with it. But now I have the ice transducer, and can’t wait to try it out..oh, this is in the flasher mode..

[@justinbozarth5910]

4 plus resolution isnt as good

[@edhayden6913]

Is the water moving on this screen?

[@staffordshires2]

This is in a small lake, when fishing it doesn’t seem to have any or much of a current since the jig is straight down from the hole.

[@jakeydoo121]

i thought flasher mode for ice fishing no?

[@staffordshires2]

Yes it is for ice fishing..

[@BK-tp3sg]

If the fish is chasing it keep running. Why does everyone stop ? 😠

[@staffordshires2]

Thanks for the comment, but when you only have so much water before you hit the ice level we have to slow down or stop..

[@robertsummerhayes1220]

Wish ya caught that fish

[@staffordshires2]

Yes, that would have been a better video!

[@beierkeagan]

How long will the battery last on 1 charge?

[@staffordshires2]

I'm not sure how long, it will run all day on my setup and hardly drops the voltage.. it seems quite power efficient.

[@tommyschlegel5653]

I've run this unit 2 times out at 4 and 5 hours each. Still at 12.8 volts output. Crazy.

[@Toby__Rose]

​@tommyschlegel5653 what battery?

[@LeeGarveyOzwald]

I got $300 in CT money. Wife says I can spend it all on a finder plus $100. Hard water is still long way out, I may just stop by CT now

[@staffordshires2]

I’m really liking this fish finder..

[@backwoodsadventures9661]

It’s a great finder for the money. I use it both summer and winter.
