Nice set up 👌🏻 have all ways loved the idea of running SI of the front definitely got its benefits 🎣

[@Peter_Herbst_Fishing]

@@Bustups cheers mate. Game changer for me!

[@martyfrancis8261]

Be great to hear what you think of the Garmin sounders as I have the same one. Hopefully you can show us some of the settings you use in the bay.

[@Peter_Herbst_Fishing]

@@martyfrancis8261 will do Marty. Hoping to send some time on it soon!!

[@JH-nh9xx]

Thanks for sharing what you’ve done. That’s a very impressive installation with your sounders. I haven’t done much exploring around Moreton Bay. I’m not after your favourite spots, but can I ask where you launch to get to such an interesting area.

[@Peter_Herbst_Fishing]

@@JH-nh9xx cheers mate. Got plenty advice from ProTorque on setting it up. Victoria Point for this one mate.

[@davidlove7825]

I installed Echomap Ultras on both my boats. I love them. I am yet to install the front mount on the bigger boat. I recommend going to Trymax Marine for spare mounts, transducers etc... They were very helpful and were well priced. The GT56 transducers are fantastic. I have caught so much with the units.

[@Peter_Herbst_Fishing]

@@davidlove7825 nice mate 👌

[@mikewratten9035]

Great Vid Pete, enjoyed immensely. I can understand you changing to Garmin for the Live Scope but I am certain you will miss the Humminbird when it comes to side scan and down scan.

[@Peter_Herbst_Fishing]

@@mikewratten9035 cheers Mike.

[@mickdakers1241]

Looks great setup, may I ask what is the mount you have for the forward screen. Thanks

[@Peter_Herbst_Fishing]

@@mickdakers1241 thanks mate! That’s a gfab sounder mount mate.

[@landrover1155]

Hi Peter. Great to see you have gone Garmin mate. The Livescope is addictive. The SideVu is excellent with the GT56 but i recommend you run the scroll speed at either 5 or on auto. TVG off for most of the Bay, and i reckon your brightness is a bit hot - i would dial that back a bit. If you set both DownVu and SideVu both at mega frequency you will find the SideVu darkens up - so best to set DownVu on 800mhz. Cheers

[@Peter_Herbst_Fishing]

@@landrover1155 cheers mate! Yep, 2-3hrs use but seems good so far….

[@landrover1155]

@@Peter_Herbst_Fishing best part is they work every time you hit the power button. Very reliable. Rugged build and rugged software. They are great on auto too. Cheers

[@davidraguse2106]

Nice set up...are you sponsored by Garmin now?

[@Peter_Herbst_Fishing]

@@davidraguse2106 cheers David, yeah Garmin and Tackle world Lawnton have helped us out to get the boat setup as I wanted.

[@TheHanlons]

I run two echomap 12’s in my boat too, great units I love the way they disconnect from the bracket so I can remove them from the boat but only thing I don’t like is I can’t record the screen like the gps maps can.

[@Peter_Herbst_Fishing]

@@TheHanlons yea, very handy mate!!

[@mangajack]

Another good video Pete, Can we get a shot of your stern transducer mounting please? Are you running the standard transom transducer?

[@Peter_Herbst_Fishing]

@@mangajack cheers mate! Had some footage of setting that up but didn’t put it in. I will do at a later vid mate.

[@sonniesfishingadventures]

Nice vid as always mate. I'm not sold on livescope yet but my mate just bought a boat with it so it might change 🤣🤣 You sure throw that bfs effortlessly! I back off on flathead with 6lb and here you are pulling in jewies 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Peter_Herbst_Fishing]

@@sonniesfishingadventures cheers mate 🙌. 12 Jew in last 4 trips on bfs, think I’m a fan!! 😎.

[@landrover1155]

Where Livescope can be very useful is in perspective mode using it to search large areas of shallow water in the Southern Bay in particular. Cheers

[@sonniesfishingadventures]

@@landrover1155 I'm using mega 360 for the same purpose

[@dota2lol942]

Hi Peter, how do you find the Bassco Boat? I know you mostly fish southern bay, can it go northern Bay or light offshore?

[@Peter_Herbst_Fishing]

@@dota2lol942 absolutely love it now mate. It can handle the chop very very well mate. Old school Haines hunter 445 hull extended to 4.85.

[@tomefishing6145]

What’s the green tubing u put around the transducer cable going around the Minn mate ?

[@Peter_Herbst_Fishing]

@@tomefishing6145 think it was from Bunnings, it’s hard plastic mate. Little tip, put it in some boiling water to soften up 😎.

Hi mate love your vids would be unreal if you went through sidescan on a future episode and really showed us what Jew look like on the sounder ect cheers mate Also is the sidescan quality better on the Garmin or on the old birds ? Cheers

[@Peter_Herbst_Fishing]

@@Jordoflick cheers mate 🙌. Will be going through sounders more now mate. I do show the school of Jew in this video…. I would say the bird has slightly better side scan but Garmin is far superior for everything else. But it’s early days tbh mate.

Hey Peter big fan of your videos, been watching a while now but can’t remember commenting. I have been meaning to say it looks like you are carving the weight off but always forget to jump into comments. Are you feeling better? What was your motivation to lose it? I have recently lost 20kg over 18months.

[@Peter_Herbst_Fishing]

@@paullobwein1632 cheers for watching mate 🙏. One of my customers lost some weight and told me about the carnivore diet. I started that day!! Changed my diet twice since then and increased my training. Feel so much better…. 20kgs!!!! 👏👏 well done!

Shame you've changed over. I couldn't run garmin after being humminbird for so long. Garmins live scopes way better no doubt.
