Sonar settings for your FISH FINDER!! // Depth Finder set up for catching MORE BASS! // Project E

[@EdwinEversfishing]

Thanks for watching everyone! What questions do YOU have? Let me know! 👇👇

[@cjinbeastmode3101]

I would like for you to break down Belton Lake and tell me what are high percentage spots to fish

[@mikebailey2119]

Edwin, my electronics are old and don't even have gps. I was watching the Texas lake fork tournament where the winner was using forward looking sonar. He was seeing bass suspending in the trees. Is there a electronics I can get that doesn't cost thousands and still be able to do what you and other professionals have. I always like to get the best but can't afford it at this time in my life. Maybe give a break down of the different electronics for for different price ranges. Mike gentry AR 🎣🐟

[@bippj7]

I would love to know what transducer your have on your trolling motor. I have an HDI and I can’t see my weight and bait on a drop shot like that.

[@dennismccray4452]

Do you have your back transducer on a different unit up front?

[@NickT-Jaden]

Will you come fish my honey hole by spirit lake iowa on a flat form tube this spring?! LOL how is that for a question?! Great video man! Love your channel!

[@paulspere8853]

Your arrows and descriptions and showing the viewer what is happening live is very helpful and easy to follow. My favorite line in the video is, "Catching them never gets old, never ever" TRUTH.

[@joserodgers6268]

Fishing has saved me from a life of a addiction. Been sober almost 8 months. Now I've got a old triton with a 150 I'm proud to own. Can't afford the the electronics yet but I will some day. It really opens up new possibilities just like sobriety. With ur tutorial atleast I'll have a basic understanding. Thx for the help. I love ur approach to helping others. I do the same by trying to inspire other addicts to help them with their recovery. U are helping so many. Good job you are my fishing hero.

[@josesolis4579]

Thanks edwin. Now that's what I call a pro that loves helping others get better in fishing.

KZbin BASS FISHING VIDEO OF THE YEAR!!! Finally, a "fish finding" video instead of "technique" video.

[@EdwinEversfishing]

Thank you!

[@clintDJgregory]

Would love an in depth video on how you use your side imaging to not only find structure but your approach to using side imaging to catch bass!

[@stevegrimm7926]

I’ve never tried drop shot fishing because I’m not that great at knowing what I’m looking at. I think I’ll have to watch this video 20 more times and give it a try next season.

[@Born2Fish1219]

Absolutely awesome video. It’s so cool that you show every step of the process. Catching some, not catching some, not knowing what some are... it’s very real-life relatable. Thanks for doing these

[@EdwinEversfishing]

Thanks for watching!

[@shake-n-bakebassin]

Great vid bud!! Very informative!!

[@racerxv6valvoline424]

Edwin, this is the video I have been looking for. This very much explains how to use your graph when drop shot'n. Excellent video.

[@williej.allenjr.510]

Edwin I didn't even wait for this video to end before I saved it to my Best Fishing Techniques folder. I've been wondering forever about what the fish vs my lure looked like and what size are the fish. You've given me a blueprint to study and help figure out what is what during my time on the water with my electronics. This video tells me I don't have to reinvent the wheel when I have Pro's like you sharing this kind of knowledge. Thank You

[@EdwinEversfishing]

Thanks for leaving a comment Willie, I wish you the best

[@brandonwicker4287]

I really want to become a better offshore angler. I need to learn to slow down. Your videos are awesome. I have learned so much from them. Thank you!!

[@EdwinEversfishing]

Yes you just have to get out there and do it offshore. Good luck

[@FishOn1]

Great use of inset to show you with the graphs as the prominent view. Makes it much easier to see what you are seeing!

[@EdwinEversfishing]

Thank you!

[@stevevoelker2733]

Excellent, excellent watch for anyone wanting to learn more about electronics and what you see when graphing. The extra description using your arrows and text telling us what we are looking at is BRILLIANT. So many times guys show the graph but there is so much stuff on it it is hard to know what they are referencing. I really needed to see this and put what I learned to work yesterday in fact. You're leading the way with content Edwin.

[@user-ds8it7nf8j]

That was a great and breakdown of what fish look like on 2D, DI and SI!

[@EdwinEversfishing]

Thank you!

[@rustynutz8704]

Awesome video thank you

[@stevegerber835]

Love it.

[@Nate_Cross]

I've watched this video several times now. Easily the best sonar how to video I've ever seen. So cool how you pulled your ff screen directly into the video and then added the arrows to illustrate what you are describing. Completely amazing and extremely helpful. Thanks! Please keep it up!

[@mikefarina3733]

Awesome vid Edwin. I picked up a great tip on split screening on my Live 12 and sourcing each screen to front and rear transducers. Thank you!!

[@EdwinEversfishing]

Thank you I wish you the best

[@christophersawczyk]

Thanks E! Do more of these please! Definitely helping determining structure, cover, bait, fish etc.

[@EdwinEversfishing]

Will do!

[@malcolmgreene6861]

Thx man..i need some serious classes on my depth finders,and definitely an upgrade as well..

[@EdwinEversfishing]

Thanks for watching Malcolm

[@coleallen8557]

Advice for a dad with young anglers? Thoughts on the balance of electronics vs. instincts/awareness? Can you speak to the importance of on water adjustments and what clues/observations dictate a plan change?

[@EdwinEversfishing]

Yes that’s a great suggestion for a video.

[@reeltime8692]

Great video! Best on-line demonstration of what you are seeing on your screen that I've watched. Thanks

[@gregfishingtime4691]

Awesome work Sir! Thank you very much! Best video game EVER!

[@EdwinEversfishing]

Thank you Greg

[@chartrandoutdoors2336]

I was mind blown on what you were showing! Thanks for another awesome video!

[@EdwinEversfishing]

Thank you!

[@jimk4267]

Thanks for the info. Extremely helpful

[@coleallen8557]

Couple more questions. You talk of the importance of covering water. What do you need to see in practice to stay on a spot for “winning fish”?How many spots does a typical 4-day tournament require?

[@EdwinEversfishing]

A four day tournament requires a lot of spots, not one or two. You have to think other Anglers are also going to find the same spots. If you’re lucky to find a spot and have it to yourself I think at least It needs to have a group of 20 to 30 fish minimum

[@bonesdad2046]

That was very informative. I need to slow down and really study the screen. Thanks for another great lesson.

[@EdwinEversfishing]

Absolutely. Thanks for tuning in!

[@donkswampey3874]

Awesome awesome video. I finally learned to dropshot effectively this year. I wish I had seen this video when I started! Love your content, good stuff!

[@EdwinEversfishing]

Glad you like it Mike!

[@johnrayner5599]

lesson learned… fish to fast, need to slow down when dropshotting. Thank you for these great shows and being a awesome teacher, i have learned a bunch from these!!

[@EdwinEversfishing]

Awesome - so glad it’s helped you. Thanks for watching John!

[@treylawrence8152]

What an outstanding video. I've seen one or two on using a livescope to "video game fish" like this, and do use my Garmin Panoptix like this, but I have never seen a video on using the 2D sonar like this. I will have a much greater interest in my 2D sonar next time out on the water after watching this video, and I look forward to trying it with all of this new information. Thanks so much!

[@jtomlinsonfishing1406]

Hey brother you're the man. Im going to marry myself to a drop shot thurs until i figure it out.

[@EdwinEversfishing]

That is how you get better! Good luck

[@jtomlinsonfishing1406]

I will try and make an honest effort to take my gopro for ya. I just get caught up fishing. If i try to focus on filming something, i just get out of i guess "the zone" mentally, as in how i should be fishing when im just by myself not thinking.

[@richardgosnell794]

Hello Edwin. I'm sure you hear this alot. You are a awesome guy an angler. My question is. What's the best hook to use on a drop shot. When texas rigging like you was doing in this video. Like on a 4-5 inch worm. An also a hook when texas rigging a shad shape worm. Thank you so much. Have a good day

[@chadgoff6255]

That was awesome info Sir. Thanks 👍

[@EdwinEversfishing]

Thank you!

[@tobeylinton5439]

The side imaging is the most confusing thing to me. I'm just not good at this stuff yet. Thanks for what you do though.

[@EdwinEversfishing]

Practice looking at stuff you can also see above the water to get your distances down. Like a boat dock or a bridge piling.

[@erlinglarsen]

Great video Edwin I certainly learned a lot from it .It would be good to see you do one on a river preferably a dirty one so you cant see the fish 🤣😂.Don't want to make it to easy for you .I don't fish for Bass as I'm in Australia but we fish for a freshwater species called yellow belly or golden perch very similar in the way that bass move about in the water.Thanks for the tips 👍

[@EdwinEversfishing]

Thanks for watching Erling! 🎣💪

[@erlinglarsen]

@@EdwinEversfishing thankyou 👍 I enjoy the info and tips a lot.

[@garyhanna2388]

I want the 360 imaging or forward facing. What do you recommend or do you even use or like that stuff. Thanks for another great video

[@EdwinEversfishing]

The forward facing technology is the future. Yes I use the stuff. I have some videos coming out very shortly.

[@garyhanna2388]

Great Can’t wait to watch. I’m so torn on which product to buy. And if I can even figure out how to use it correctly. My frustration makes me more determined. Just want to be competitive and better

[@wesleycurrin1457]

I apologize if I missed it in the video. Which size reel and rod action are you using on the drop shot set up? Thanks!

[@EdwinEversfishing]

I have a 6‘9“ medium action platinum rod with a platinum reel size 3.

[@wesleycurrin1457]

@@EdwinEversfishing Thanks!! I am considering adding a Platinum Spinning combo to my arsenal.

[@bippj7]

What transducer do you have on your trolling motor? I have a HDI and I drop shot and can’t see the weight and bait like this. I’m very intrigued. I have a 3-1 on the transom that I’m thinking of moving to the trolling motor.

[@C777-i7m]

What is your transducer configuration. What Trolling transducer. And what transducers do you use at the console?

[@raymaylone8563]

My other question is about the spinning reel you’re using the Drag is set loose but when you said the hook on a fish you hear the drag paying out and your reeling At the same time. When both of these things happen aren’t you putting line twist into your spinning reel? I was always taught if the fish is pulling drag don’t real wait for him to stop swimming and then get that line back.

[@EdwinEversfishing]

😂😂 yes you’re right I just didn’t tighten my drag back up from the previous fish! I’m doing all I can to get him in the boat LOL!

[@williemayes7535]

Hey Edwin! So I’m planning on getting some braid for my 7 foot medium heavy action casting rod and reel, what color and size would you recommend?

[@EdwinEversfishing]

I’m guessing since you’re using a 7 foot MH you are frogging or topwatering with it. Go with 50lb green!

[@williemayes7535]

@@EdwinEversfishing GREAT! Thanks!!

[@williemayes7535]

Sorry I forgot to ask, but I just got the Johnny Morris platinum rod and reel and it’s 7 foot, gear ratio 6:8:1. Should I put flouracourbon on it or braid?

[@brettmontey8762]

I have a ultrex with the universal transducer and a lowrance hook 2 unit. And I can't get it to show anything other than the depth of the water. Is there a setting I'm missing?

[@EdwinEversfishing]

Generally the Ultrix transducer is pointed back you would need to put your bait back kind of under your boat to see it.

[@brettmontey8762]

@@EdwinEversfishing I will have to try that next season since my boat is put away for the winter. But all summer I never saw a suspended fish or any balls of baitfish. I'm just curious if there is something wrong with my equipment.

[@jv59]

Do you use the “Fish Reveal” feature when using Dow scan? If not, why? I notice in a lot of videos guys don’t use it. What are your thoughts on it?

[@EdwinEversfishing]

I don’t use it I just grew up without that option. They can be handy but it’s not for me.

[@lightlinefishing9179]

When do you usually pull the trigger..as soon as you feel tic or lead em a little

[@frankbednarchek1481]

What do you have to do to get your back transducer onto your front unit that it will show the front and the back?

[@anthonylawson7073]

Great video Edwin.Cant wait to use my new Eliteti2 graphs for Damiki fishing for Smalljaws in East Tennessee. Did i understand you right saying the more color bigger the fish?

[@EdwinEversfishing]

Yes you did.

[@brucemckinnley5272]

Can you view images from your rear transducer on both a consol and front screen? Do you have 2 units networking? Really enjoyed this video

[@ericanderson11]

If the bass were 15 to 20 ft down. with out drop shotting what other techniques would you use to target those bass? If you were deep cranking, what speed reel would you use?

[@EdwinEversfishing]

A football jig would also have caught those fish if I backed off and casted to them. If I was deep cranking I would use a 6 to 1.

[@raymaylone8563]

Morning E. How do you determine if fish is under trolling motor transducer or rear transducer. You said one suspended fish was out of the cone? Very confused.

[@EdwinEversfishing]

The 2D sonar the one in the top right of the depth finder is beneath my trolling motor. The down scan panel or transducer is the one in the middle top and that is in the back of my boat. Does that make sense?

[@marlonpowell2510]

I was reading the comments and someone asked if you use a 3 in 1 transducer on the front. To clarify, you only have a 2d transducer on the front and is that how you're able to discern which transducer is reading the fish you're seeing? Also, would you be able to tell which transducer is reading what if you had both of your transducers 3 in 1?

[@andrewnickeson6815]

Do you use a 3 in 1 transducer on your trolling motor as well?

[@EdwinEversfishing]

No I don’t.

[@robertduell4511]

Great content. Would be interested in how LiveSight might change the approach. Also how long did it take to find places that were successful and how many? Is it a lake where you know the sweet spots or did you have to hunt for them?

[@EdwinEversfishing]

I think life so it will change things a lot. I’m going to have some videos coming out on it very shortly. That was my first time fishing that lake.

[@jamiehartzell5286]

Great video E ! Awesome content, thanks for keeping it real. You caught crappie and blue gill on the worm you're fishing would or could you use a minnow type plastic instead ? And why one or the other?.

[@BrianParkerson]

I'm having a hard time understanding how often the images I'm looking at are refreshed... is it current image or past. Does it ping each time the screen scrolls to the end or is it continually pinging, refreshing the image. Also, I have trouble understanding my position in relation to what I'm seeing on my screen. Love these videos, learning a lot. Please keep providing us with your fishing insight and knowledge! 👍

[@Nate_Cross]

It helps me to think of it as a piece of paper scrolling slowly to the left. The ff draws what is currently under the transducer along the right edge. It is constantly drawing what is directly under the boat, but the "paper" keeps scrolling to the left showing you what was under the boat in the past. Only the right edge is current, everything else is in the past and the further across the screen it is, the further in the past it was. Hope that helps.

[@southerngurlfishing2561]

My problem with this is once they get out of my cone on the front graph I can't find them again

[@EdwinEversfishing]

Me too sometimes!!

[@glfishing32]

Is there a way to eliminate trolling motor interference? Great content!

[@davidjameson95]

Prolly the best video to really brake down what your seeing and when. How's does this image change when you dont have live? Timing wise

[@EdwinEversfishing]

It doesn’t change anything. Just remember the far right edge of the screen is real time exactly under the boat. Everything else to the left would be history or behind the boat as you move.
