In general, the TI units are faster in response to inputs. This is seen when quickly switching between sonar, downscan, chart, and split screens kzbin.infoUgkxeAxH15LxhjGlg5-CRYqjTGTEH0tbY4vk recommend The Hook units will show some lag on button pushes and screen switching. The big ticket item though is maps. If you install a mapping card such as Navionics or the free C-Map Genesis which has a lot of map detail, then moving around the map with the cursor or when running down the lake can lag significantly on the Hook units, but is seamless with the TI units.

I couldn’t be more impressed with the quality of your teaching and video. I’m glad to be part of a growing group of people that benefits from your videos.

[@brendamorrill6711]

Thanks!

[@nchitechredneck]

Really appreciate this vid. Just got a 73sv for my kayak and watching vids on how best to use it right away. Great stuff. And love the dogs!

[@dennisrudloff2071]

Thanks, you are the first one to comment on the lack of good Garmin info. Bought our unit 18 months ago and finally seeing some useful videos to help max the value of the unit.

[@KansasAnglingExperience]

I have several, happy to help!

[@ericfoster3636]

Love your Videos! Wish I lived closer so I could book you for a charter. Keep Cranking!

[@ryanskare6670]

Great tutorial but as a UT tech I would suggest that when you return to your target at 800kHz turning up your gain (brightness) The difference from 455 to 800 is like AM and FM. At 800 your wavelength is two times tighter meaning you have twice the resolution BUT you are also loosing a lot more signal strength on the return. An example of the angles you're talking about; at 400khz your beam width is 46 degrees. At 800khz it is 28 degrees. You can also see much further at the lower frequency, at 400 you can see about 150 meters and at 800 about 75 meters BUT, at 400 your resolution is 2.3 cm while at the higher frequency it is 1 cm. What you're looking for is finding that gain (brightness) where the 800 just begins to get blurry again then back it down just a bit.

[@kennethgriffith2374]

Flim in any manner that works for you at that moment. Thank you this hits the spot.

[@lukejohnston8770]

Go Pack Go! Was the first thing I noticed, paused after 3 seconds of video. Good video man, thanks for the help

[@PaulMotu]

Love the tips video mate, so keep them up. I just got the Garmin Striker 7SV so your information is perfect for me. Would love to see some more vids on interpretation of the screen images especially identifying smaller fish on side view. I see plenty of vids on big fish that are quite apparent on WideVu / Sideview screens but no one seems to want to demonstrate their skill sets to show / teach us what smaller fish (ie 12 - 18”) look like on side view etc. Well, there is one guy but he charges a lot for his courses (based in Australia) to learn but no one else is doing it on YT! Thanks for the brilliant vid though Brian. Paul 😎

[@craig9108]

that was a really good video. I have a echomao 93plus and still learning, I hoping that one day you could show a video on contour line and finding main lake and secondary points and catching largemouth bass. I live in east Texas and that mainly where I fish

[@TheBassAddict]

Wow awesome video! I just got a Striker 9 SV and this helped a lot with that.

[@KansasAnglingExperience]

Glad it helped!

I agree with auto medium for the Garmin settings. First I tried specific settings but auto ended up working better. I’m using Garmin echomap plus 93 sv.

Very good job. 1 question: I have transducer on trolling motor, do I have to shut unit off when I pull it out of the water?

great job easy to understand for a none english speaker. I have got a gpsmap 7412XSV on my boat conectected with a gt50 transducer and a panoptix livescope

[@jaydoman7540]

GOOD INFORMATION! I understand your logic re 2 D only on the TM BUT BUT can a 3 in 1 ( GT 54 ) transducer be of feasible benefit to locate stumps & other hard structures, waypoint them, & then multi - screen , use 2D & only 1 93 SV on the bow? Po Boy intro into modern technology! Just asking! LOL

[@anthonyhill3771]

Ok, so you have to go in your settings to change back and forth the khz to find the locations? I see stuff all the time but I can't seem to bump it and find it. How do you hit the boulder you see on your fishfinder to know if it's on the left or right side of your boat when you already scanned over it and it's behind you?

[@popaki9484]

Thanks for making this video and sharing it. I just ordered the echomap plus 73sv. Since you do all your scanning from the hull does that mean when you see something you want to fish you turn your boat around or cast behind you? Once a waypoint is marked, do you use the map to turn back around? The next step is what do you use to catch the diff fish. =)

[@kylemagnuson5535]

I really appreciate the info. Its difficult to find good videos explaining settings and how to read sonar. I look forward to seeing more!

Great video. The wind you complained about looked pretty tame compared to what I’m used to up here on Lake Winnebago and the Great Lakes... the video content was excellent other than complaints of the conditions we anglers endure EVERY time out. Keep it up! The tips video was appreciated! Awesome explanation. Thanks!

[@robertzipse8014]

Very helpful! Glad you are back making videos...

[@brettolson5611]

Very informative video thank you. I have the same Garmin units that you have I believe. Haven't had them on the water yet though. Do you see fish well on your side imaging? Is there a big difference seeing fish with 455 as compared to the 800khz? Thank you.

[@KansasAnglingExperience]

Fish show up way bigger with 455. That’s why I run it 95% of the time.

Great videos. I have been vewing your videos since last spring. iBought my first boat and Garmin 93sv+ last year. Fish Smithville Lake in KCMO most of the time. Still having trouble with Clear Vue and Side Vue and understanding what I am seeing. I am having Livescope installed early next week. Friend also just bought a 93sv+ yesterday and we went out today and were trying to dial in his settings. We are both having trouble understanding what we are seeing with both ClearVue and Standard CHIRP sonar. We have UHD 54 transducers. We are willing to pay you to come to Smithville on our boats to give us some help. Can you give us a private reply with quotes? Thanks.

[@mikebryant9493]

Kansas Angling Experience thanks again

[@hardcashindustries]

Do you have a picture of your transducer and where how it is mounted

[@KansasAnglingExperience]

Bottom of the transducer should be level with the bottom of the boat. About 1’ away from the engine.

[@hardcashindustries]

I put it on a fly craft boat for a friend it sits in the water about 8” but it’s set lower than the bottom of the raft by about 4”. He said he is seeing things on the screen that they passed over 50 ft ago. What do you think that could be. I didn’t think it being lower than the boat would affect it.

[@nighthunter8596]

Hi nice vid. I m thinking of getting myself an echomap 92sv uhd with gt51m? How would that work for jigging in 200ft water? 🤔

[@KansasAnglingExperience]

Not sure.

Great video, I just got 2 new Echomap plus 73sv w/gt52 t-ducer units wired up on my 17ft. deep-v, can't wait on the weather to break here in East Tn. so I can get them on the water. I am new to fishfinder/sonars, If I need advice can I contact you? Thanks for sharing.

[@swkynard]

Great video, helped me big time, I have another question I need some help with my new Garmin Echo Plus 93sv, I troll for trout, kokanee, and land locked king salmon in Nor Cal lakes. Friday while trolling with my four down riggers, I noticed fish on my sonar in Trad view at 30' so lower down my downrigger weight to 30' on the counter. Look at the Garmin screen and my see my weight at 35'. So the depth is off by like 5'. I have a Furuno also in the rear of the boat and it too was off by about 3'. Found in the Fruno menu "draft" by hitting plus or minus feet you make the downrigger wt. appear at the same place on the sonar screen. My question is, how to make this depth adjustment to my new Garmin can you please help me

[@johnnymissfire8464]

I dont have the plus unit so i dont have the teardrop icon to mark a waypoint. And when i have the cursor over something on side scan and hit mark it marks where the boat is not where the cursor is. So how do i get it to mark where the cursor is??? Great video by the way!!

[@KansasAnglingExperience]

You need to hit the Select button, not Mark when you use the cursor

Why wouldy Garmin 73sv echomap have a ton of interference in the water column in my down and side scan? It's driving me nuts that I'm not getting clear picture. My setup is mostly stock.

[@KansasAnglingExperience]

Could be your wiring. Power wire and transducer wire should always be as far apart as possible

[@esoxinator968]

I'm up in canada usually walleye are between 20 to 32ft if I switch mine from 800 to 455khtz will I see them on si

[@noyopacific]

Thanks Brian! I'm wondering about your opinion of the Garmin Panoptix, especially since you don't have one. I feel like you might not have as strong a bias as someone who might feel like they might have to justify the high cost of it to their fishing buddies and their wives :)

[@KansasAnglingExperience]

noyopacific it’s a lot more practical for me to be able to recommend affordable electronics for anglers who may not fish every day and can’t justify a 2-3k purchase. It’s fun to show them we can have almost the same success by using traditional sonar

[@tyhousefishing3541]

Does garmin have range rings/ casting rings, To determine distance on the chart? If so are there similarities to lowrance or hummingbird?

[@KansasAnglingExperience]

Not that I know of

[@horaiyo]

Boat speed affects the return on down/side scan? I have a jon boat with only one unit up front and I've been wondering why I don't seem to get a very good return unless I'm really shallow.

[@KansasAnglingExperience]

It absolutely does

[@ronniewetherington509]

Good information. I have the same unit. Thanks

[@esoxinator968]

They say the black zone is directly below boat so if bottom starts showing at 20feet to right and left on screen and fish show up at 40feet to right on range are they actually 40 feet away ?? Pretty confusing

[@veegh90]

at 11:50 , is this possible on the Echomap CHIRP 72sv?

[@KansasAnglingExperience]

Yes

[@AndrewMcGhie]

Would you recommend the Garmin Echomap for deeper water, ex: up to 250 fow? Im considering a new Garmin Echomap UHD 95sv, but will also be using it for deeper lakes/trolling. Thank you

[@KansasAnglingExperience]

Yes

[@bryanlow292]

Do you find the Garmin echomaps hard to read in direct sunlight? Is the screen flashing like we see it or is that just because you filmed it?

[@KansasAnglingExperience]

The flashing is just because I filmed it. Any unit is tough to see in direct sunlight but I’ve always liked the matte style screen on Echomaps.

[@johnnymissfire8464]

How were you able to get the menu bar to drop off the screen?

[@KansasAnglingExperience]

It’s in the settings somewhere. Auto hide

[@paweln92]

So how do You exactly add waipoints on side vu??

[@KansasAnglingExperience]

By dragging the cursor to where you want to drop it, and hitting the select button-not mark. Hitting Mark will only add the waypoint to your current location, not where the cursor is.

[@terryfields5915]

Love all your videos

[@chrislrohr]

Nice job, Brian. Keep up the great work!

[@troydunn04]

my cursor doesnt come up when I touch the screen nor does it do it on my buddy's. I have the echomap ultra 102 and he has the 106. is there a setting to allow the cursor to come up?

[@KansasAnglingExperience]

[@C.Adams82]

I have a echomap 93 uhd sv and you can't choose what frequency. Clear vu is 840 chirp and not sure what sonar is. There is no option to adjust.

[@KansasAnglingExperience]

It’s all in the sonar setup options.

[@C.Adams82]

I know, but the unit have does not give an option to change the frequency in clear vu, when you go into the clear vu menu and press the frequency setting ,it just says chirp 840, there is no option to change it. Now Im wondering if something is wrong with the unit

Does the echomap uhd 93sv give you boat speed and water temp

[@KansasAnglingExperience]

Yes

[@jeredmattson9]

great video. very informative. i’m wondering if it is even worth it to buy the new 93 UHD to have 1.2khz for side vu if you find its better to use the 455 instead of 800. the new 93uhd is like $400 more than the one with the gt52. what are your thoughts?

[@KansasAnglingExperience]

I can find fish on the lakes I guide on fine with these units...not rushing out to get a UHD unit.

[@anthonyhill3771]

When you make a waypoint, do you drive exactly to the waypoint then cast out or do you get near the way point then cast to it?

[@KansasAnglingExperience]

Depends on what I’m fishing for and how

[@anthonyhill3771]

@@KansasAnglingExperience Let’s say it’s largemouth bass you see school you idled over thy appeared on the right side of your screen and you marked a waypoint. Do you drive back over by changing your khz to narrow the search? Down don’t help me tell ifnits on the right side or left side of me or how far away it’s behind me.
