- Discrete marks like small marks, ledges and wonky holes can be good indicators for snapper. Nicko Fewtrell quickly walks through a sounder setup, and gives a few ideas for a great day on the water.

Very informative. Thank-you.
That’s awesome 😎. Well explained. Fish on zzzz
Great stuff
Is there a new season coming out on tv soon?
cool, love red fish
Don't we all
Hi.
What transducer was used in this video to display the 2D Sonar image?
From 3.40, you mentioned “standard sonar cannot locate wonky holes…”.
Can you elaborate on this? I thought what was being showed was actually standard 2D Sonar?

Hi Cameron. The transducer was the new ActiveImaging HD 3-in-1 FishReveal Transducer. The transducer provides 2 types of sonar. The first is traditonal downward sonar which displays the bottom under the boat (and any fish in the water cloumn). This sonar is 2D and uses "High Chirp". This "traditional" 2D, downward-shooting sonar only reveals what is under the boat, therefor you need to actually drive over a wonky hole, or a reef etc before you can identify it, so naturally, this can be very time consuming.
The transducer also has "sidescan" which sends a signal out on either side of the boat, so it catches the contours of the seabed from the side. So, much like shining a torch out to your side while walking in the dark, you can see so much more than if you shone the torch directly down at your feet. Fopr example, you could set the sidescan at 30 metres each side of the boat, so that gives you 60 metres of coverage when searching for reef or wonky holes. Note that the transducer sends out both types of sonar at the same time and you can display them both at the same time on a split screen, along with your GPS map.
@@AFNFishingOutdoors many thanks for this detailed response. I understand now.
Can anyone explain what he means when saying the “shallowest water in the deepest part on the contour” ?
Hi
At the 1.00 minute mark, you refer to use of contours to locate the wonky holes.
Can you please elaborate further on this explanation?
Thank you
Cameron
Hi Cameron, the contours are the lines on maps and sounders that represent changes in elevation. This is where the fish like to hang out, along the ledges where the elevation plateaus.
@@AFNFishingOutdoors many thanks. Trying to picture a ledge where it plateaus on a contour map is hard for me to grasp. Would it be too much to ask if you make a new video to just focus on this concept alone?
It would greatly help me (and others I suspect)..
Thank you
Cameron
Garmin is better for finding wonkys with sidescan on 260khz (gt51transducer) can shoot into deeper water
Cool story bro
