You are an awesome instructor! I’m somewhat intimidated by technology but with your information I have No doubts whatsoever. I haven’t even used my Garmin (it’s replacing a dinosaur Humminbird 2000😂) but been playing with simulation mode in garage and it’s fantastic. Your Striker graph videos are by far the best on the internet, and fishing tips are excellent! Thank you Very much for sharing your knowledge! Best wishes from central Texas, and Great fishing to you! 🎣. God Bless

Thanks a ton, means a lot to me to know that these are helping others out there. I use the simulation mode a lot to get setting right as well.

The fish finder has a lot more features than I would have anticipated. i've never used one before, but I know their invaluable to a lot of boat owners especially. That was a nice walk through and explanation!

[@bobothepittie5578]

You are the only person I trust to answer this question. I will be fishing in Northern Ontario in September and the place we are going is a large lake with dozens of islands and creeks and it is my understanding that it it is easy to get lost and becomes very difficult to find your way back to the cabin. If I make the cabin my waypoint, will the Garmin show me the way back?

[@1Cast1Fish]

I will give you my honest opinion...Yes the Garmin will get you back, but I would practice with its GPS features and be 100% comfortable and confident in how to use them. 2nd If I was in a remote area and getting lost is a possibility I would do 2 things...have a 2nd form of functional GPS to get you back...whenever I am on big water I always use my fishfinder GPS's to mark a return point and I also use my phone as well. ( I have phone signal on the water) Just in case something happens. Also look into a Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon (EPIRB) or Personal Locator Beacons (PLBs) they could save your life if you truly get lost or need help. I have one on the boat, and also take it with me when I am out hunting just in case.

Really helpful and easy to understand tutorials. Really appreciate the tips and tricks! I just picked one of these up 2 days ago for ice fishing. I got it 2nd hand with no owners manual. I'm wondering if there is a feature that allows me to record my route of travel taken from waypoint to waypoint as I travel on snow machine through the woods from spot to spot and if it has this feature I could create a trail map over time. Thanks in advance! Keep the vids coming!

[@1Cast1Fish]

Yes, you can record a route with it...and honestly the basic striker 4 is pretty good for that since it does not show contour lines or any other clutter, you can just see the traveled tracks only if you want. I would however invest in a dedicated GPS device for travel if using it in the woods...especially if the area is "big" woods and more remote, or help is far away. The striker will work for small scale stuff, but I would not rely on it for big travel.

[@andycordova5562]

If I come over some structure and then I want to mark it as a waypoint, according to what you said it's already out of the cone. So when I press the mark waypoint button it really isn't marking exactly where that structure is, correct? Is there a way that you can move the cursor over on top of that structure and then hit Mark waypoint and since it's no longer under the cone will it really mark it in the correct spot?

[@josecepillo7108]

That’s my question as well. From the video, the way he’s marking waypoints is by the boat’s current position. But if you wanted a make a waypoint for a specific rock pile you passed over in your history, doing this method will be completely off.

[@1Cast1Fish]

Sorry I missed this comment fellas, but it is very simple....so on the traditional sonar screen, all you need to do is when you see the rockpile or brush on the screen (regardless of position) simply press the left or right arrow key to bring up the cursor...this will also stop the screen, move it over the item and press the waypoint key...it will mark its "REAL" position.

You can, since the GPS is in the unit itself

[@randyhall9572]

I just purchased a new Garmin and have been using it for setting waypoints for limb lines. From the current position and you hit the waypoint button , when you get to edit your waypoint, do you have to enter a name for the waypoint to be saved, or can you hit the back button to go back to previous screen? Thanks for any help, been struggling with this setting 25 lines on a night of fishing.

[@1Cast1Fish]

You don't have to name them, it will automatically give them a generic name...just be sure you save the points

[@richardarmitage1325]

Hi great information, do you know how to reset waypoint numbers? I have deleted all my waypoints but when I create new one it will be number 17 as the numbers don't reset, when I create a waypoint I hit present position key followed by enter as I don't require a description.

[@1Cast1Fish]

Not sure you can without erasing the memory and deleting all waypoints.

[@chuckmartin9687]

I don't want to enter coordinates, I want to know how to mark a spot as i'm on the lake and I'm catching fish there so I can get back to that same spot next time out. So how do I mark a good spot once I find it???

Press the waypoint key, this will let you create a waypoint...you can then edit the name or icon from there.

[@robertmartinez3769]

Can you save waypoints o demo mode? I’m a newbie and it appears I can not. I tried several times. I heard you shouldn’t use your Garmin with transducer on when you are not in the water and that’s why I’m trying to input gps coordinates on demo mode.

[@1Cast1Fish]

Yes just follow how I show you to enter coordinates in this video...they will be saved even in Sim mode.

[@monzsterman]

First let me say I appreciate you taking the time to help people like me understand this unit. I am having a problem with entering my own Navigation numbers. I understand how to do it. I am using Google Earth to get my coordinates and it comes up like 37degrees 21'46.37"N 76degree 50'38.23"W . The problem I am having is I cannot enter this into the unit like this so I guess my question is where do I get GPS coordinates for an area I am wanting to fish. Thanks for your help.

[@monzsterman]

Got this figured out after a nights sleep. If anyone else has trouble with this you can go to Settings, Units, Position Format - under this you can change the way the unit takes the coordinates.

[@1Cast1Fish]

Awesome and good job figuring it out

[@sstatic6093]

For example its a new lake and you're trying to find your way back to the boat landing how do you do that make sense?

[@1Cast1Fish]

Before leaving the dock press the waypoint key and save the waypoint. You can then use it to get back

[@michaelwchristen]

If I go over N are with fish N structure and add a way points like you said.. if I leave the water. Remove battery. Charge it and then next day turn it back on. Will the points still b there

[@1Cast1Fish]

Yes if you save the point, then it will still be there even if you remove power, the only ay to remove the point is to delete it, or perform a factory reset...which will erase all stored data.

[@williamoneill5498]

I have a question to clarify what you said regarding waypoint GPS maps, and moving the little circle with X to your waypoint location before entering it. I find this a bit confusing, I was under the impression (perhaps incorrectly) that the GPS functionality of the Garmin Striker 4, means that when you're off shore and you want to mark the spot your fishing over, the GPS automatically works out where you are, you only need to select and name the waypoint. What you were saying above appears to suggest that it's not an automatic GPS location finder. You got to look first on the contour map, then work out where you are precisely by sight, using the arrow keys to enter the waypoint? Have I got this wrong? I have never used a FF before, I am looking at getting the 4cv or a larger Garmin. I want to be sure I am comprehending exactly how GPS waypoint selection works, aside from manually entering coordinates. Great video, thanks for posting.

[@1Cast1Fish]

I was showing different ways to use it...normally if you go over a spot and want to mark it, just hit the waypoint key in the lower right corner and it will drop the point there in your exact location

Any clarification would be helpful

This is a basic Striker 4, which means no maps and no contour lines. If yours has the mapping and contour line functions, then this would be a great option for marking waypoints, which is why I still wanted to explain it.

How do you do a sonar history rewind on the Striker 4? Like If I mark a nice weed line on my unit and want to mark the exact structure where the weed line is can I scroll back through sonar history and use that as a waypoint?

It will record your track automatically, so you can. Another option is once you find your weedline, start recording a specific track to save, since you can save tracks just like waypoints.

Where should I mount?

Does seem weird....are you sure you are completing the save function? Highlight save and then be sure to hit the check mark...like shown in the video. If its not working, try a factory reset and then try again.

Thank you for all your very informative videos! I have learned tons. I am curious about the routes feature and didn't find anything on 1Cast 1Fish. I am navigating a shallow river and would like to create a safe route. Your past videos showed how I can mark waypoints that I will use to mark hazards like logs but I want the routes feature so I can have an easy ride without much worry. Specifically can you alter a route after is has been saved in the Garmin, or is your route recorded permanently?

[@1Cast1Fish]

I really do need to show how to do more with the route features...I personally don't use it much, but I know other do....As far as altering a route...yes you can alter a saved route or even change it on the fly.

@@1Cast1Fish This questions was asked a year ago, have you done a tutorial for creating a route yet? please advise. Thanks your tutorials are very informative !!

[@1Cast1Fish]

@@scottbliss2091 this Saturday a video on tracks will go live. I even show how to follow past tracks and make tracks into routes. Next up will be a dedicated route video as well.

Which model of the striker 4 would you recommend if price didn't matter

[@1Cast1Fish]

If price was not an option I would definitely look into the Echomap line, more features and mapping options, really depends on your application though. How will you be using it?

[@michaelharless1658]

Bass fishing on a pelican 2 man boat

[@1Cast1Fish]

For your application the Striker 4 Vivid would be a good choice, if you fish smaller lakes and such. This would give you the opportunity to use the quick draw contours to map your area lakes as you fish them.

is there a video for help on understanding bottom. Like what the colours mean, and different structures?

[@1Cast1Fish]

I have not done one exactly like that, but check out my video on baitfish...it may help

[@zamirratkevich4159]

@@1Cast1Fish Awesome thank you for the response, any plans on doing one like that?

[@1Cast1Fish]

Yep...it’s on the list, I get to make a video every few weeks so I have a nice list of future videos

Amigo: si quieres salir de un punto de la costa y volver al mismo lugar debes marcar waypoints al salir de la costa o no es necesario? Gracias!

[@1Cast1Fish]

Recomendaría marcar su waypoint de regreso antes de irse. Recomendaría marcar su waypoint de regreso antes de irse. De esta manera, el waypoint de retorno estará en el lugar y el conjunto adecuados. Hago esto cuando dejo un puerto deportivo en vías fluviales más grandes cuando quiero estar seguro de volver al mismo lugar.

@@1Cast1Fish excelente! Una consulta más. Si tengo estos parámetros de un Point cómo los agrego a mi Garmin? Me pasaron por ej. -34° 421.567 y en mi Garmin no tengo grados sino N, S E y W .... gcias!.

[@azentioced9]

so can i put a track mark from the moorings to my fishing ground that might be 2 miles away? and if yes then if the fog comes in and you cant see a thing i dont have to worry is that correct?

[@1Cast1Fish]

Yes by marking multiple points or recording a track you can...also the Striker will automatically lay a track down as you move. However I would never want to rely solely on this unit to keep me from hitting objects in dense fog for safety reasons.

[@azentioced9]

@@1Cast1Fish yes i understand that as you need a radar for that i am a full time fisherman but i also have a play time boat just for fishing but i think by having this set its as good as a plotter no point in buying both cheers

[@1Cast1Fish]

Agree

@@1Cast1Fish what about the transducer can i put that on a bit of aluminium and bolt it to the stern like on a bar but the bolt it up near the top of the stern and the thing is like just a wee bit higher than the keel? would that be ok? theres no room on the out board saw one some one put it behind the propeller no room on the honda 10 hp cheers

[@1Cast1Fish]

Not really sure I understand, normally the transducer is mounted on the transom , on the right side in most cases. If mounted on the keel or a strake, the water will be turbulent and you can get a bad image. Never seen a transducer mounter on a outboard.

Do you have a video reading in the water?

What would you like to see? Do you mean navigating on the water?

How many way points will it store??

[@1Cast1Fish]

Sorry it took awhile, but I did not see this comment.....5000 Waypoints, and 100 Routes

1cast 1fish can u review or teach how to setting for garmin echomap 45cv

[@1Cast1Fish]

I don't have a Echo Map...but I am going to be getting a Striker 4 Cv later this year hopefully. I also have plans for a basic setting video for the Striker 4.
