3 Easy Fish Finder Tricks Anyone Can Do! (Catch More Fish)

- Modern electronics are increasingly complex but these are simple tricks you can do to make your time on the water more effective! Quit fiddling with your graphs and get back to fishing! Tim gives 3 or 4 quick tips in today's video that will completely change how you use your depth finder in the future. Quit struggling in shallow water, wondering if you're seeing fish out deep, and trying to stay safe at night; all with just a few clicks of a button.
Tim kicks the video off with how to adjust depth offset. This simple trick will completely change how you fish shallow water. Most boats have never had the trolling motor offset corrected (this means that your trolling motor may read 6 feet deep while in 4 feet of water). This obviously creates safety concerns, it also creates fish problems. Knowing your EXACT depth from trolling motor to bottom or surface to bottom is just a few clicks away.
Next, Tim shows how to adjust your color palette to see fish, and fish size, much more clearly. He goes on to show how to use on-screen way pointing to eliminate the need for market buoys. Gone are the days of locating fish, setting buoys, then returning to catch them. See the fish, set the point, catch the fish, move on.
Last, but certainly not least, Tim explains how to change your map's orientation. Virtually every graph comes with the map set to "North Up". While this is great for knowing where you are, it can be difficult for you to chart your path around obstructions quickly, especially at night. By switching your map orientation to "Heading Up" you'll always be able to see what is immediately in front of you. This quick tip will completely change how you use your fish finder's mapping functions.
Most modern electronics have all of these functions. Below you'll find a list of the exact equipment that Tim is using in the video, as well as links to several budget-friendly options that will offer most or some of these functions.

I haven't looks through your guys' whole library of videos, but do you think a video could be made about fishing exclusively from shore for those of us that don't have boats? Obviously almost all of the info on your channel can be used on shore, but I thought there might be some tricks and tips you guys could come up with and it might make a decent video. I dunno, just a thought.
Good vid Tim the new electronics are difficult for some of us who are not on the water every day a lot of the functions are not intuitive so all the help you give is++++++++👍🏻😎
Best channel on TH-cam and by far the most in-depth and informative for fishing tips, tricks, and techniques.
Please keep doing more videos like this,this info is priceless!!! Thank you Tim 👊👊👍
Mostly a bank fisherman but still watched and gave a thumbs up! Love you guys and all you do! Thanks sooo much! You guys have helped my fishing so much over the years...and hurt my wallet a little...lol
What’s the gauge next to his steering wheel that keeps going from “empty to full” ? Lol
I noticed that too. LOL
It’s the fuel gauge. Someone keeps siphoning the tank and then filling it back up. They are off camera so you can’t see them. They are very sneaky!
@@mr.fatbasstard_--_ Probably a Mercury engine.
no doubt...never noticed it till i saw your comment....
@@mr.fatbasstard_--_ DANGIT LOL
Awesome stuff! I need a Nice Fishfinder like that next.
Pretty sure u want to subtract the depth offset not add
I need to do this, just no patience when I get in the water. I just want to cast!!!
Tim, what's with the analog gauge needle moving back and forth? What's causing that?
The problem I have in Wisconsin is, I see fish on my locator. How do I know if it is a bass or walleye or musky, or something else?
In 2D it's a lot of guess work, once you catch a species let it swim around your transducer and see what it looks like. Bigger fish will return a thicker line, not a longer line necessarily as length is dependent on how much time it is below your transducer(hence why you get arches). With Side Imaging, especially with mega, you can look for the shadow of the fish and get a pretty decent guess as to what it is, on the TB insta they have a few snapshots of carp.
Important to remember that unless you have an external compass module, "heading" isn't a viable option. Your course might will be accurate, but your course isn't always the direction that your boat is pointing, especially at low speed, since your course is affected by wind and current. The external GPS/compass units from Lowrance (the little white puck next to the trolling motor) are a great investment if you use waypoints for fishing. It makes the placement of the waypoints more accurate and gives you better reference when finding them again relative to the boat.
What camera do you use and what setting are you recording in? (720/30, 1080/60, etc) THX
I note that you and Matt have your GPS puck mounted in different locations. Why and which one is better? Tim's is mounted on the gunnel vs Matt on the Deck near the gunnel. Please advise. Thanks
Good video. I was wondering if you could work with tackle warehouse and get your own code. You put links for the stuff you use on the channel... we click and it takes us to tw. I make a big shopping list every year for tw and bass pro. Just wondering if a code we could enter at checkout would be feasible. Not looking for a discount but if you mention it on your channel and I buy it... you should get something for it. Make sense?
When are you going to do an update on clearlake with the crappie bite. Perhaps show using the electronics in finding those slabs. Like settings and such?
If you are on a budget, what electronics do you recommend if doing an upgrade??
I have a Helix 9 that I am trying to do the offset for the trolling motor. I can’t find that sonar source menu. Can you point me in the right direction?
Still wanna see a complete run down on becoming a fishing guide... matt hook me up man this has been a dream for a long time now.
Love this channel and everything about it...but north up for life ! Lol :)
Dang good tips that will help me a lot .. ;Thanks
these are only good for larger lakes and if you arnt a local.
Go fishing at melones resivor major major monsters out hear I live down the street it's off the hook!
If ur shaft is 2 ft under the water u need to subtract the 2ft not add
Just stole all your waypoints!!! Just kidding.... Hope to see ya guys at Bullards this Winter!
Question- So if i'm understanding tip #3 correctly. If you're using the "North Up" setting and using side imaging, then what is on the left and/or right of the screen, IS NOT necessarily what's on the left and right side of the boat?
Thank you. Give us some more tips when you can. Thanks for sharing. Love your channel.
Tim ... I fish ex lusively out of a kayak and you are absolutely right about the heading setting on the GPS. For a long time I just had North because I'm used to looking at Maps paper maps. But I have found that like you showed us that setting my heading as my preferred method of navigation I have been able to get to places that I wanted to be a lot easier.
Thanks Tim, I have Humminbirds and boy are they user friendly. I noticed your speedo going wacko, must be a Mercury engine. : )
Awesome tips man did not realize these 3 tips. Makes alot of sense. I will be readjust this weekend. Thanks man. I am running a oninx at console and helix on bow. I'm am using internal GPS for now. Plan to install a puck this winter.
Thanks again guys - we rent a bass boat in the Ozarks every year. Now we will adjust accordingly. Nice job! This will make life a little bit easier.
I got my Aftco catalog/flyer in the mail today, congrats on the full feature Matt and Tim! @TacticalBassin is everywhere :)
Great tip on the heading up adjustment, we have fought that problem for a while now. Can't wait to make that change. Thank you for all the knowledge you guys share, it sure shortens the learning curve.
I just assumed everyone sets up the fish finders correctly. Guess not.
I wish one of you would put livescope on your boat.
Great Vid Tim, but what I really want is all of your waypoints! ;-)
Another great video from the best bass fishermen on the internet. Thanks for the tips Tim. God Bless you and yours.
Good morning
Good tips and explanation of how to make adjustments on electronics.
I have to set mine north up. I guess it’s just what you’re accustomed to.
Wow simple but so over looked and so important!! Can’t wait to adjust and get out
Thanks for the Navigation tip. Real handy!
Thanks I will try it. At you guys salmon fishing?
You guys should make your own baits I will for sure buy them
Hello tim, I have a question for either you or Matt is there a way to reach one of you?
Great tips this will help as soon as I get a fishfinder for my little basstender
The only TB vid I didn't learn anything...
You didn’t put the hat in description I need one great video 👍
Excellent tips. Thanks Tim!
whats a good fish finder for a kayak?
Great tip about the depth offset!!
Thanks Tim that really did help
Good stuff! Thanks
Spy baits please
I need to look into Garmin and see if the north or heading up deal is available
VitalFishing
