For those asking about my Fish Finder, this is very similar, but a lot more affordable. Everything you need in 1 box. amzn.to/3zmWWTV
In general, the TI units are faster in response to inputs. This is seen when quickly switching between sonar, downscan, chart, and split screens czcams.com/users/postUgkxeAxH15LxhjGlg5-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.
Thanks again for the series- great stuff to help me catch more fish. Really like the practical approach and not talking over my head.
Thanks Mike, I may have to see your settings. I’ve been fooling around with this for a long time and was about ready to give up.
After I bought this boat, I would have never got as far as I did with these evo 2’s without watching your videos. Thank you for what you do ! The company who sold me this boat gave me a book to read and 1 hour crash course. I sure appreciate all of your help!
Thanks David!! This may help!! czcams.com/video/S0MpGwKUVNA/video.html
Great simple info for a beginning Lowrance user. Thanks much!
really appreciate this series of videos Mike, very informative and clear!
Very helpful, went fishing this morning and came to your vids to help me identify what I saw, a great resource, thanks from Ottawa Ontario
Thank you so much for these learning segments. You do a great job of explaining this information for people with no prior experience in using these amazing machines. Please keep doing them. Nobody does it better than you from the sites I have tried.

Very glad you like it! Appreciate the kind words!! More videos coming!
Also a first time viewer I’ve seen many presentations on fish finders but this has been the most comprehensive one yet great job
Thanks brother!!
First time with the garmin striker 4 on the kayak this morning. I was amazed by the bottom of my lake and your video has been informative for a novice like me. Thanks :)
As mostly a pond fisherman trying to get to bigger lakes these ‘dummy’ videos are great info...with only a few striper under my belt guessing what will work and being a terrible cast net thrower and bait fish finder this info helps a lot....just need more time to freakin fish and try things out!
Chuck I appreciate that brother!! Thanks!
Thanks. Very concise and informative.
Really becoming a sonar smarty from these videos. Thank you so much.
Thanks brother!!
Thank you. Your knowledge and easy going manner are much appreciated. I'm going to be boat fishing for pike minnow on the Snake and Columbia. These tips will help. I've never used a sonar. Thanks again.
I’m glad you liked it!!! Thanks!!
That’s great to hear. Thanks brother!!
I never spend enough time learning about a new
sonar when I get one. Thanks for giving me a synopsis! Lol. I’ve learned some things and you have confirmed some things I thought. 👍👍
Vance Cash Excellent!! Thanks brother!!
You do very good videos man I’ve bought a expensive fish finder on a boat I had and I will admit I could not read the dang thang. In the market for one with chirp and your videos are very informative thank you !!
These are great videos and answer everything I need to know in the most simple, straightforward way thanks so much!
Glad you like them!!!
Just got a garmin striker 4 cv for my kayak. Your videos help me understand more about whats going on underestimate me. Keep up the great vids
Thanks!!!! I appreciate that!!!
Loving the new series of vids ... waiting for the next one Keep up the great work
Awesome video, yes please add more how to's..I'm so lost when it comes sonar, down imaging..I have a lowrence by the trolling motor and a hummingbird near my console
Thanks for help👌
I appreciate these videos you're doing on fish finders. It seems like I learn something new every time I turn mine on. Keep em coming and I'll watch for you on SML
Don Burnette that's great Don!! I'm glad you like them. I'll keep them Coming!!
@@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS if really like to see a video on catching bait using your fish finder. I have broadband and downscan, no sidescan. I'm never quite sure when and where to throw the net once I actually mark the bait
These videos are so informative and so helpful. I'm hoping to buy my first fishfinder within the next year or 2, and when i do i'll actually have an understanding what's how to use it and what's going on. Thanks and keep the videos coming. Much Appreciated !!!
Thanks brother!! I’m glad you like it.
Shoot me an email when you’re ready to buy. If you use my amazon links you get great prices and I give you lifetime setup help. 👍👍😁😁. Links are also in the descriptions. Thanks
Great job buddy, I really like this series, it’s helping me a bunch 👍👍👏🎣
Thanks brother!!
Thanks Mike...always straight forward, informative, and practical videos. I’m new to boating and salt water fishing, and your videos help tremendously. I’m pretty sure I saw you heading out of Nissequogue a couple times. Stay safe.
Thanks brother!! We fished that area a few years back with Mark Garry. Kid Cochiese. Beautiful area!!!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge makes it easier for us tec dummies lov your work look forward for more from Australia jc
Thanks brother!!
Thanks so much, very clear & helpful!!
Great explanation and information!! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Mike for all your info. I'm new at this and my Hummingbird HELIX 9 has me guessing. You told me about that "surface layer" that has had me confused. A question for you: My depth shows one reading , say 12 feet, and on my screen I see 17 feet or 20 something. I fish the short waters of the Southeastern North Carolina in the Cape Fear river and it gets shallow quickly! So trying to navigate between these readings is a challenge for me right now. Thanks again Mike! Please keep up the good work and I wish you all best of luck and health!
Great info Mike , very detail I like it !!!!!!
Very Helpful. Thanks
Hey Mike,
Thanks for the tip about the false bottom. I also went ahead and liked your video as they are great and extremely informative!
+PlaYBoz Thanks a ton brother!! Glad you dig them!!
Good info. Thanks for taking time out of your day to make these videos!!!
I’m glad you like them brother!!! Thanks!!
Very clear communication...some time go through finding fish on plane with through hull transdeucer in this type detail...your videos are great
+Bruce Clayton Thank you Bruce!!! That's a great idea brother!
Mike, great stuff. Keep er comin'!
Thanks brother!! Will do!!!!!
That was a good video. I've always struggled understanding these units. Not so much now. Cheers.
Thanks brother!
I'm so dumb lol, I have used one before, all this time I thought it was showing you all the fish under your boat from left to right, I didn't know it was a history of what you have passed over. Pretty cool stuff, great video!
Thanks brother!! Glad you like it 👍👍
Love these videos, thanks a ton!!!
Thanks brother!!
great series! made me subscribe instantly!
Thanks! Very helpful👍
Thank you. This was helpful!
Yep!!..This video had my name on it, Sonar for Dummies!!!...I learned so much from the video!!!!...
Very insightful. Thank you.
👍👍👍😁😁
Thank you.
Super helpful, thanks bro!
Another good one! Thanks Mike.
+Brian Hast Appreciate it Brian!!!
You’re a good teacher!
I appreciate that brother!!
Thanks for the tips 👍
Great info thank you
So I know my sonar but I clicked on this in hopes of picking up a little tidbit I didn't know. Unfortunately for me that wasn't the case. But......I thought you did a great job explaining things. I suspect if I was new to this I would've learned a lot. In fact I wish this video had been around 20 years ago when I was just beginning to learn modern sonar. Great job, keep it up.
Thanks brother!!
My pleasure, it's well deserved.
really appreciate these tutorials. If possible the odd time would be great to see the same information in grey scale. Thanks again
Thanks brother
Thanks for this series ... Thumbed up and subscribed.
Thanks brother!!
Informative video! I think the "second bottom" is a reflection from the real bottom (which you point out is hard), and then some of that energy reflects off the surface around the boat, back to the real bottom, and then back to the transducer?
Thank you SIR really informative nice
Nice, thanks 👍
Great video Mike, thanks for sharing
+David Hall Thanks brother
Thank you - subscribed and looking forward to more :)
+Karl Sklenars Thanks Karl!!! 👍🏻
Very helpful. Until now pretty much have on used my sonar for depth and water temp. I have a lawrance on my Nitro z7 and really wasn’t sure what I was even looking at.. thx
Great brother!! I’m glad you like it!! Check back for more. 👍👍
Another good video. Always learning.
Thanks brother!!
Thanks for this video. My brother just bought a used boat last fall and because he got injured in an accident in January we still haven’t been able to take the boat out and learn about the electronics on it. This will be a head start on that.
Sorry to hear about your brother. I’m sure you both will feel a lot better being out on the water together. Glad you like the video!!

Thanks brother!!
very informative old school
+jody sherlock sr. thanks Jody!!!
I just bought a boat with two lowrance units. I have never used a fishfinder so your videos are timely and spot on. I still don’t completely understand where exactly the arches (fish) are. I understand that you are looking at history so everything is behind your boat. What I don’t understand is the location of the fish off to the port or starboard side of the boat. Are they 25’, 50’ etc. off to the side or are they directly behind the motor. I don’t know how to explain this so I hope it’s not confusing. Thanks
Picture your boat leaving bread crumbs depending on if you are running on plane or drifting. Your transducer only looks down (mostly down) so they won’t be off to the side. Those arches are fish that are in your bread crumb trail. If you are moving a foot per second fish that were in your a scope 10 seconds ago are 10 ft away. This is a very ROUGH way at guessing of course. We don’t know what direction or how fast they are swimming. You don’t really need to know exactly where they are. Once you found them, use methods that cover a lot of that water to catch them. 👍👍. Sonar gets you close, it doesn’t really FIND fish it just confirms what you THOUGHT. 😉😉
Thanks good info.
😁😁👍👍👍
Thank You.
👍👍👍😁😁😁
Thank you!
👍👍👍👍
THANKS!
Glad you like it brother!!
Great stuff mate. Big like from me!
Thanks brother!!
Mike, i have a new set up on my boat. Its not even been configured from start up yet. I have a s2009 and evo 3 with a tm275 and a lss2 transducers. Also it runs thru a s5100 module. There is vvlink and external gps reciever connected via the nmea backbone also. I wanted to run low chirp on the 2009 and hi Wide chirp and sidescan on the evo 3 so the 2009 was dedicated deep water sonar only. And evo used for general fishing and gps. Im testing it soon, but lockdown has delayed things. Can you give me advise on what settings to put on to get me to where i want it to be? Much appreciated, ben, tasmania
To see all of my fish finder videos click PLAYLIST “SIMRAD VIDEOS”. Thanks!
Mike, thanks for the video, can you explain the chirp transducer? Thx,
Very educational

Another good one.. well done.
+John Hilderbrand Thanks John!! Decals went out today!! I expect to see pics of them by some beautiful STRIPERS!! 😁😁😁😁😁
I would like to see how to setup the temperature on the screen I’ve tried everything and still can’t figure it out. And I could also use a couple of your special stickers too. Thanks brother
Eugene Smith Email me your address. Mikesmedley9@gmail.com and I’ll get some out to you. In your system menu. Hit echo- transducer installation you can select temperature source.
Thanks for this. I recently started kayak fishing in Central Florida lakes and am considering getting a fish finder for the first time. Do you have any recommendations?
