See Bass, Catch Bass - Bass Fishing - How to Read a Fishfinder

[@wastewater1975]

I specifically typed "Flukemaster Fish finder" because I know he is the best at explaining! Thanks Gene!

[@Pro_2A_1776]

Most useful video I have seen showing how to use a fish finder on the water. Simple straight forward.

[@johnsamothrakis4621]

Great video , the best one I have seen on How to read a fish finder, , & trust me I have been watching a few of them Thanks 👍

[@supermugz]

Couldn't agree more. Absolutely fantastic! After years of watching videos about how to read fish finders, finally one that actually shows you how to read a fish finder

[@weekenddangler4490]

Your editing is getting better and better .

[@rayszatmary8369]

Videos like this are so needed. I looked at mine for 25 hours a week for 1 year and a half to get some idea of what I was looking at.

[@ryanslev52]

Thanks for making this video. I'm someone who needs to have someone explain what you are seeing the way you did. Very helpful. Keep more videos like this coming.

[@eliwolfe9067]

Duuuude! Thank you so much. Got a fish finder for Christmas and am really intimidated by it. This really helped out alot!

[@michaelcraig7297]

Finally, a layman's video on this topic, which is so frustrating for "duffer" bass-anglers. So many of us are never going to cave-in and throw tons of money on current state-of-the-art systems and this video helped me try to understand better, the one I'm married to. Good job, Dean!

[@jontrahan493]

They say "Ask and you shall receive." Thanks so much for the fishfinder vids! As a "new" angler, these help so much!

[@oneshoeless]

This is by far the best video I have seen on reading the fish finder. Thank you!

[@bubbaford8943]

Fluke I CANT THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR MAKING THESE VIDEOS HELPING ME UNDERSTAND HOW TO USE MY ELECTRONICS BETTER,, BROTHER I APPRECIATE IT ... thank you sooo much...!! EXCELLENT VIDEO , HELPS me A TON ...!!!!!!!

[@powellajosh]

Gene, there are lots of choices for bass fishing content on youtube. I consistently find myself coming back to your channel to learn. Thank you sir, another great video here!

[@cptdriftingcanoe2407]

Gene Great Video, Very Educational...pumps me up to get out there and apply what you teach. Keep on doing what you're doing.

[@wesleyhughes363]

Enjoyed video. My biggest frustration with bass fishing is finding the fish. Tons of videos of anglers catching fish, but not nearly as many videos about finding the fish. At times it seems overwhelming when looking at all the water on a given fishery. These type of videos definitely help the learning curve - please continue. Thanks

[@shawnbond1975]

You covered everything except determining where to cast based on what the screen shows (that's always confusing). That being said, it's one of the best demonstrations/explanations I've watched. I'm going to try it out next time I'm on the boat. Thank you.

[@jayhorton4462]

I’m fixing to hook up my hook reveal five so your videos are very helpful thank you so much keep up the hard work good luck to you

[@davidbeaver185]

I like the fact that you cruise around and explain each thing as it comes access your history, most fish finder videos point out a couple arches, bait fish, and maybe mention a hard it soft bottom but don't really explain how they're coming to that conclusion.... I'd like to see more about mapping myself... And yes side imaging too.... And I'm sure there's more about regular and down scan to learn.... Oh and another video on say setting up your fish finder to get the best picture, or clearest picture of what's going on down there.... Thanks for the videos in all respects you rock

[@kalebbaquera1633]

I absolutely LOVE your openings to your videos. Silence, and you setting the hook and catching a fish. And you wait to introduce yourself until the fish is in the boat. Its like fishing ASMR for me.

[@mattbuerhaus6350]

Thank you for helping us learn how to find em. Great video.

[@CA-sl2xw]

Finally someone does a FF video the right way. Keep em coming fluke, I appreciate what you’ve done for the fishing community! I met you in 2016 at Gander Mtn in Arlington, Tx. You were traveling around with the G Squad.

[@account2292]

Best fish finder video Ive seen.

[@bassnoob8322]

I am literally putting together my first fish finder setup together for my kayak and you release this. This is prefect timing lol thanks Flukemaster

[@christopherpettersen2359]

Phenomenal video. Clear and concise presentation. Really helped to understand and interpret what is on the screen. Thank you. If possible, some tips on boat / kayak positioning in relationship to whats being interpreted on the sonar screen with regards to how the fish and / bait fish are relating to the structure of cover. I think that would be helpful with these sonar videos. Again, thank you for your time and effort in bringing this content. Greatly appreciated.

[@HarlyGuy13]

Great video. I’m brand new to the FF game and need to learn so much and I just did. Thanks!

[@SandKayaker]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I learned a LOT and think I'll be able to catch tons more fish than I traditionally have.

[@Spaceshuttlegunner]

Awesome! Thank you for pointing out those different things. I have always said I wanted not to fish at all and just drive around. That never happens. I just feel I need a bigger screen to see what I’m looking at. I have a raymarine dragonfly 5”. I’m glad you took the time to make this video. I would say make another one just following up!

[@cohibill]

Hey Gene, This the next step for me to learn from you! I have Lowrance on my boat and would love to find out how to set the thermocline setting. I can tell that is very important to know. Thanks

[@calistan5431]

Needed this video so bad, thank you for this!!

[@krisb5638]

This is exactly the video I needed I finally dive into a fish finder; the capabilities I should look for and exactly how to use them. It was great meeting you in Utah a few weeks back at the hyrum tournament! Keep up the great content Gene!

[@lwood7687]

Fantastic video. I’m looking at getting my first fish finder to put on my kayak and this gives me the confidence to get out there and use one. Thanks for the great content.

[@6Sally5]

Thanks Dean! I’m slowly building up my fishing kayak and the last thing is about to be added...a fishfinder (happy 70th birthday to me). I used to have one on our pontoon boat, but I never was good at figuring out what I was looking at. That was 15 years ago and technology has moved up at lot.

[@robertstone3417]

Great video, Gene! especially for us newbies. you did a wonderful job with helping us understand what is going on under the water. thanks.

[@RPB-nx7vj]

Awesome Video! I just installed a New Finder and cant wait to try it after watching this video.

[@ultralightfishingguy]

Excellent vid, very informative. Just got into boating and you answered a lot of my remaining questions.

[@cjh033]

Hi from deep south GA. Great vid, most of the fish finder vids use stored graphs. I like the fact that yours was splashed and dirty just like mine stays on my kayak despite my best efforts, LOL. I think more of helping people ID fish is going to be the ticket, especially those of us that pond/small lake fish.

[@jrguitargeek]

This is exactly what I needed. Thank you.

[@fishingirl94]

Awesome video Gene. Looking to get into fish finders. I want to start with just mapping, temps and depth. Thanks for the pointers! You’re awesome! Huge fan.

[@brandonsmith606]

Great video man thank you the info about the thermo Cline is my biggest takeaway I know it's there but didn't know I could use my graph to see it I can't wait to get on the water and look at this

[@zackfuetsch4716]

This video is awesome! I’ll be getting my first fish finder in a month or so and this video was a big help.

[@ncbassassasin1906]

Awesome video, like all the rest. Thank you for breaking everything down I've never really understood depth finders until now. I have a lowrance hook 2 7 I'm about to put on my yak and start fishing tournaments. Thanks for all the tips and advise keep up the great work Gene.

[@wingnutbert9685]

That was great Gene. Thanks for answering some of my questions from the last video. Please keep the fish finder videos coming! Need all the help I/we can get!

[@Igranick92]

That was the best explanation and demonstration I've seen so far. Definitely a new subscriber! Looking forward to checking out your other videos!

[@Flukemaster]

Awesome, thank you!

[@timothyperiard7048]

Great video Gene! I have bought a decent fish finder this year (Humminbird Helix 7) for my kayak this year and have yet to catch a bass off shore with it. Will use these tips and see what i can do. Next video I would like to see is you show the fish on your FF and than cast at them and catch them.

[@billsemsrott3980]

Thanks Gene that was a very informative video, I hope I can remember to use what you just taught me.

[@johngolembiowsk6813]

Great video I had no idea that you can see the thermocline on a fish finder

[@mikefurness1598]

I need five of that last fish you caught this coming weekend on Clear Lake in California both on Saturday and Sunday! Can you make that happen!? Lol! Good video keep them coming.

[@bubbaford8943]

INCREDIBLY HELPFUL VIDEO FLUKE THANKS BROTHER...!!!!!!!!

[@benlandry6373]

Awesome video. Thanks for the quality content Fluke.

[@skiko101]

Thanks for the help I like that lake to but ever since I started kayak fishing there I've yet to catch a fish there anymore lol. I have a lowrance now so hopefully this helps.

[@dreddy5187]

Another fantastic video. I'd like to know what you were seeing on your traditional sonar at 5:44 in the video.

[@seanlavery8660]

Awesome video fluke. Can you show how you approach those spots and cast to them?

[@Redial2416]

What I want to see more of is ME catching fish (LOL) (North Carolina) Great explanation.

[@Maddog19633]

Great video Gene! Thanks for going into detail. Tight lines!

[@jeffreyyeater1780]

Really great video . Thanks for the info .

[@rocio12358]

awesome video, I want to get me a kayak with the same setup as yours, has everything one needs.

[@TWC6724]

Excellent video Gene.

[@Barbell-life1]

Nice video. Hope to see more fish finder videos.

[@koltonblakley-crinercreeko374]

Awesome video. Can you do one of these for side imaging?

[@Xray4858]

I may have missed something about the thermal line on your depth finder. Help me out, how to to spot or find? Great video

[@iankec]

Awesome video, I’d like to see the map view of when you come back to fish and how you position over the places you marked. Basically after you find the fish how to come back without spooking them again

[@w1ckedbackhand]

My thoughts exactly.....would love to see this as well. Thanks Gene!

[@BrianParkerson]

Yes, this has been one of my biggest issues, taking my eyes off the screen and looking out over the water, trying to find and setting up on my waypoints, and knowing where the structure / fish is located in reference to my marked on screen way point.

[@akrebs78]

Just started using a fish finder and u have the same question

[@dsj8838]

Great stuff. Recommendation for kayak fish finder at current technology levels 2023?

[@Davidjarvis1970]

I definitely learned something with this video, coming from Florida to sc this helped me out

[@rick4649]

Great video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and expertise.

[@thelakecommander7632]

Great video! Can’t wait to see another sonar video!

[@lifeoutdoors2day357]

This video helped me immensely

[@sjfishing7331]

Love it classic catch a fish and bam the intro you know your watching a good vid

[@justaguy6100]

Maybe you explained it on another video, but I was constantly wondering what the symbols on the mapping meant, the XX I presumed are known "fish attractors" but there are circles and triangles as well.

[@samuelzayyat2957]

Hey Gene, I recently retired and I'm exploring fishing to occupy my time. I've seen a lot of educational videos on fishing but yours are the best by far!, keep doing what you do.

[@Flukemaster]

Thank you.

[@leerognlie1781]

Very well done, just what I was looking for, thank you.

[@Flukemaster]

Glad it helped!

[@nckayakangler8987]

Good vid. How bout setting the fish finder up to get the best quality imagine.

[@TheGeocampbell]

AWESOME video I learn so much from you .Thank you.

[@johncalhoun3216]

Awesome video, thanks for sharing!

[@tanman310r]

I don’t know if you have a video on this but I’d like to see how to mark the spot and then how far to cast to it wether it’s using marker buoys or gps

[@TappadaraWest]

Great video Gene . Thank you I learned alot , especially about the thermocline area's . The sonar window does confuse me a little . but looking at the down imaging helps me alot better to understand what I am seeing . Could you spend sometime explaining the sonar part ? Thank you I loved this video great catch this is getting saved into favorites lol !

[@jimweikel6768]

Yes, I’m curious about that too. For instance, at 1:13pm there are a lot of arcs on the sonar, but nothing on the down view. I’m curious what those are and why you knew to ignore. Thanks for the content.

[@larryevans1489]

Hey can you do a video just like this but on some of the more affordable units to kayak angler's

[@CrucesNomad1]

This type of fishing would be my third choice, as I just broke down and bought a fish finder. I do appreciate you sharing sir. Please share your thought process as you approach a tournament. What is your must do to prepare?

[@Jones_1908]

Are you fishing the bassmaster tournament in Michigan this weekend?

[@edwardmyers1387]

Great video bro really informative

[@gailcarter1954]

How does your kayake handle the big waves from motor boats. I bought a fishing kayak 3 years ago but have only used it floating the creeks. I have flipped it once where I got sideways up next to a downed tree. Surprisingly it flipped quick. Ive been wanting to fish some lakes around here but am a little concerned about the motor boats and we have lots of fisher people here. My kayak is a sturdy well built fishing kayak but as we know all kayaks can flip. Bona-fide i think is how its spelled, is what I have

[@johnnyappleseed1023]

This video helped me so much, thank you.

[@joeyd1841]

How does the element perform in deep water?

[@harahara10]

Some of the lakes I fish are full of bait fish and all kinds of predator fish like bass, stripers, drums, gar etc.. So much so that every piece of offshore structure I look there is fish. How would you narrow down to most likely ones with bass?

[@hilldaron17]

Do you or could you make a video of a buyers guide to getting a fish finder or your fish fish finder? (tournament ready/ fun fishing)

[@jeffreyyeater1780]

I think alot of guys that have been bass fishing for 30 or 40 years that dont have a clue about anything but reading depth . Im guilty of it too. Thanks for the primary facts that other guys assume we all know . Ive bass fished since 1969. If you use this info , you will do much better .

[@terryclowers4433]

Enjoyed the video keep them coming 😃

[@motoman3290]

Would love too know the setting you have it set at like sensitivity, manual or auto for depth and chart speed they all play a roll and just when I think i got it figured out because I see what i feel is a fish and drop down on it and catch one but then may not be able to do it again super frustrating. Great video

[@donaldmidura1802]

Great vid. Can you tell me why on 2d it looks like fish arches but on down imagining it looks clear. It’s a little confusing

[@Flukemaster]

It's due to the shape of the signal. The 2d is a round signal and the down imaging is a narrow oval going from side to side. The fish stay in the 2d signal longer.

[@Ricehatasian]

Flukemaster was gonna ask the same question but figured I wasn’t the only one😁😂

[@donaldmidura1802]

Flukemaster thanks really enjoying your videos. Keep up the great work

[@kennydempsey1195]

What are all the other arches that were mid to top of the screen? This definitely helped me out a lot. I was looking for the wrong stuff the entire time

[@Flukemaster]

small pieces of debris in the water. There was an algae bloom last week and that was larger chunks of it in the water column.

[@runervus]

Great video. It was very helpful

[@Flukemaster]

Thank you

[@MattShepherdFishin]

Great information, what beam width were you using?

[@BrianParkerson]

Fantastic video and can't wait for this series to expand! Your sonar tutorials are the best out there! A sincere thank you! Maybe in the future make a video addressing one of my biggest issues. After taking my eyes off the screen, trying to position myself within casting distance, looking out over the water, trying to find and setting up on my waypoints. Basically, tips in knowing where the structure / fish is located in reference to my marked "on screen" way point. I've started using buoys to help but I shouldn't need them with the technology we have. Any tips would be helpful and appreciated. Also, I realize it depends on depth but how far do you keep your Kayak off of the underwater structure..... say at 10-12 feet. Do you sometimes fish vertically and at what depth. Please, more side scan tutorials! Thanks again Gene! 👍 👍

[@vathao3175]

Something I’ll like to see which is hard to predict is if that lake is almost all grass and weeds on the bottom and using a finder is a just orange or a blur, how can you find the fishes on the bottom!? But love the video! Learned a lot from it!

[@colesavage9219]

More boat vids would be awesome

[@orskee]

heres a good question for ya, how far behind is the end of the screen to the boat ?

[@claudeyarborough7532]

What model and all kayak is that? Noticed you weren’t pedaling

[@Jay-mv5th]

great video. it helps out alot

[@andrewwatson754]

Great video learned a lot in a few minutes. Thanks for sticking with down image over side. Lots of folks doing you tube are explaining side image which would be great if I had it. I'm using a Ray Marine Dragonfly 5 could you get into how to utilize the SD cards and get charts. For now I'm using my phone for so-so charts via Fishbrain Pro subscription for $75/year. Thanks again for all the knowledge. Does that app you use offer charts?

[@s92helomech57]

Thank you so much. This is a great help

[@hoopsheavenpa]

Great content as always!

[@gregwilliams4201]

Good vid Gene thanks for the info stay safe ....
