The COMPLETE GARMIN ECHOMAP Tutorial!! (Down Scan, Side Scan, & LIVESCOPE Settings REVEALED)

[@KansasAnglingExperience]

If anyone has questions regarding settings, etc, please drop a comment below! And also, if anyone is wondering, the “pulsing” you see on my graphs are just due to the high shutter speed of my camera. That’s my bad for not lowering it to prevent the pulsing effect. No issue with my units!

[@Missamericanataylorsversion]

Hey man we still haven’t ate that bass this is Lennon btw

[@comicman8724]

I have the garmin echo uhd 73sv with the gt54 Transducer and love it. Bass pro has the 93sv with gt54 Transducer on sale for 30% off so $699. The 93sv with the gt56 is $1100. Is the gt56 really that much better than the gt54 that it would warrant the extra price? I'm about to pull the trigger on one so curious what you think since you have both.

[@patrickchristie82]

We have a 75 sv with a gt52hw and when I try to change the frequency for clear vu vs side vu I have options for 455 or 800 but I can’t seem to set them separately. Is it the equipment or the operator? Thank you !

[@KansasAnglingExperience]

@@patrickchristie82 it’s the transducer. You’re limited with a gt52.

OMG SO So helpful! I have had 2 126's and the livescope with my 2021 Triton 206 FIshhunter and watched 100's of videos and this one breaks things down to basics and simple easy to follow tips and now I am going to take this and get on the water and get the units I have dialed in Thanks for sharing your knowledge

[@TheGrkBoy]

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.

[@terralsmith4517]

I've enjoyed your videos in the past but never as much as this one. Thanks for sharing all your hard earned knowledge about the Garmin Echomap Ultra 126.

[@AndreHebertFishing]

Nice rig. Agreed with your comment about ease of navigating menus and settings vs the birds. I'm new to Garmin (Santa was good to me this year), been a Humminbird guy for over 25 years. I just ran through the screens and settings for the first time on my new Echomap and was impressed with how easy and quick it was. Definitely less clunky. Trying it out tomorrow for the first time. Should be fun.

Just at the beginning of hunting season my boat got broke into and everything stolen. No electronics installed yet, new 2021 Ranger RT178. Got all of my tackle, rods/reels, etc... I probably should not have got the Garmin Livescope black friday deal but too hard to resist. Now trying to get my rods/reels and tackle situation in check by ice off. Playing with the Livescope and dialing it in will help keep my mind off that and still waiting for safe ice. Going to rig up my Livescope for ice and play with the settings you've shown us. Thanks!

Great video. Ordered a Garmin 74SV and this will give me a head start on learning it. Thanks.

[@serenitycoastUK]

I brought the GPSMAPS for my sail boat. I also brought the sail pack which has the all in one transducer. This means my current ray marine setup which I'm removing ill have a spare thru hole fitting. Would you recommend a fish finder transducer? I have a spare £400. I don't really wanna spend any more Panoptix is over £1000. My question is how far in front does the fish finder go? I want to do a bit of fishing but think it may help for anchoring and going into a port. I cruise in the Bristol channel which has the second largest tidal range in the world so depth changes a lot it's about 40ft tidal range in 12 hours....give or take

The Seefish pole looks really well designed and sturdy. Almost too sturdy. What if you hit a stump? Is there a spring adjust or some give built in? Your 20$ rig with the ram mount would give some . We have LOTS of impossible to see stumps!

[@KansasAnglingExperience]

I don’t fish stumps very often, but when I do, I’m just very careful. There is some give, because shit just does happen.

Hey Brian _ thanks for a great video! Im outfitting a new Lund 2075 - I picked up two Garmin 126sv eco maps with the GT54 transducer at Christmas - am I able to upgrade to the GT56 transducer and feed both units from it? Seems like a good value to upgrade? seeing it for under $400 on amazon right now? Would love an opportunity to talk in depth about setup? Thanks again for the great videos

[@topwatertrl]

Excellent educational vid! I switched from 40 yrs of Lowrance units to Garmin last yr and Im very pleased. I have one question because I see your side scan image has the same look of 3-4' of surface clutter just to the left side of center. I'm assuming this is because I have my 56 ducer mounted a few inches to the right of centerline on my Champion bass boat. Is the ducer picking up the "wash" so to speak from the center of my boat as I am idling and displaying it as surface clutter? I don't have room between the transom and motor, since the 56 is so long, to move it directly to the centerline of my boat. Thanks and have a great Christmas!

[@KansasAnglingExperience]

Yes, it’s just the prop wash. You can trim up some to get rid of a little but it’s not a huge issue

[@rodneychandler82]

Hi great Vid 👍 . Quick question is on my buddies Skeeter we have Echomap ultra 122sv and Echomap ultra 102 sv with GT56UHD-TM Transducer with Force trolling motor with built in transducer / when doing the settings on forward facing i am having an issue trying to stitch the bottom layers together using the focus settings . Seems like no matter what settings i use it just wont stitch together good enough and gives the stairstep effect .

What adjustments do you make on your settings for livescope when you go from stained to muddy water?

[@KansasAnglingExperience]

Gain and TVG

[@hooks4nooks]

Very good video. Thank you. I'm saving this video. Super helpful.

[@DuckCommander417]

I think the number one reason people can’t see jigs is when you have TVG on High or Medium. Took me forever to figure this out. Also when TVG is turned off the ability to size a fish goes out window. My crappie jig (when TVG is off) will sometimes be same size as crappie lol. When running TVG on medium this does not happen. Basically the hotter you run TVG the more accurate things are in size. Curious your thoughts?

[@KansasAnglingExperience]

TVG definitely affects it, but I think color gain is a setting a lot of guys miss when it comes to being able to see small baits

Great video. I have a question for you: I'm not a tournament angler but I do fish a lot. I currently have a 93sv on my dash and a Helix 7 on my bow. I'm looking to purchase another Garmin unit for the bow so I can have them "linked up" for sharing waypoint information, etc. BPS is selling the 93sv at $699 and the 106 for $999. I know the 106 has 2 ports for adding Livescope in the future. Someone that doesn't fish is it justifiable in spending the extra money for the 106? It appears that many guys are adding Livefoot along with their Livescope transducer meaning even more money. Qestion: Is the Livefoot a neccessity for Livescope? Reason I'm asking is because I'm not one to go crazy with a lot of technology on my boat. Thanks for your help.

[@KansasAnglingExperience]

It’s absolutely justifiable spending the money on a 106 to network units. And no a live foot is not necessary. Just one more thing to break.
