These series of videos REALLY demonstrate the realities of owning a nice boat and fancy fish finder. They don't guarantee a boat load of fish everytime. But, it is still a damn side better than fishing from the bank!!
Thanks Joe, It awesome being able to travel on a boat and fish multiple spots. Finding the fish isn’t always the tough part, but getting them to bite can be something else 😄
Great video buddy👌👌 you sure weren't lying that was a ton of crappie😮😮😮 you sure do have that Garmin dialed in pretty well😁👍 I'm not sure if I make videos again but I am enjoying seeing yours👍👍

Hi Josh, Hummingbird makes some good graphs. Although I don’t own one I’m sure you would be able to get the settings dialed in right. Have you watched any videos yet? Best of luck 🎣😎
I agree! You shouldn’t have left all those “known” crappies at the bridge to go chase other fish. I will be getting the 93sv and livescope plus soon. I hope I don’t fall into the habit of leaving fish to go chase other fish. Notice I said “I hope”. I can clearly see me developing the same habits with new mind blowing technology.
I always have 30 minutes rule if I found them. If slow and not actively biting then time to move on. You can always come back if needed to. Sometimes they just don't bite and a waste of my fishing time.
You fished a couple of spot's I fish, but if you want to catch a few more for the pan don't immediately throw them back when you catch a small one just throw it in the livewell until you catch what you want out of the pile, then release the smalls one's. It will shut the pile down on that lake every time 💯
Hey Rowdy, Yea man when I caught the first couple fish I was for sure I was gonna be getting more from that spot 😆. I wish I would of stayed on it a bit longer but Coulda, shoulda, woulda. Thanks for the continued support and dropping by. I love when the local guys drop by. Fish on buddy 😎🎣
@@Paulcatchesemall I love your channel, videos are good! I wasn't trolling ya', I just know how hammi fishes and them damn crappie shut down when you throw them back! A little bit of dirty water seems like it helps 🤷🎣 tight lines brother!
@@rowdybroomstick1216 Hey man everyone’s got a way to do something and if it works that’s great! Why not give it a try? As long as I can remember 😆 I’ll do my best next time. I was hoping to get out this weekend but these storms and wind are gonna make it tough. I really do appreciate all the nice comments from you. Thanks again bud 🎣😎
The Garmin videos have been very helpful to me, thanks. I have 2 93 SV UHD units and been trying to get them dialed in. I haven't been to a spot with them yet that has a good crappie population, but will be in a week or so. I am curious about something though. it seems that you are always around docks in deep water. I know that is helpful because you will see the crappie in the "black area" water column most of the time. Where I will be the docks will be at most 20 ft, mostly 10-15 feet deep. So I am wondering how well I will be able to locate crappie schools if I am in say 15 feet of water and scanning say 40 ft out to the right, and the crappie are way tucked way in underneath the dock, such as more than 15 ft away. If I understand correctly, in that scenario, the fish wouldn't show up in the "black area" water column, but they would appear in the amber image showing the bottom, right? Hope that makes sense. I think if I was scanning right beside the dock and they were close to the end, they would show up in the water column. Further back they may not and I assume will be harder to pick out.
If you are in shallower water and specifically just scanning docks for crappie have it set as shallow as possible, basically like you said 40’ and under, just adjust it when your out there and you’ll find the sweet spot. Also with the 93sv set your graph to scan only 1 side. It makes the image so much bigger and a lot easier to see the fish. It’s easy and effective. And once your done fishing docks it takes seconds to switch it back.
@Paul catches em all sounds good, will do. I will be at a small oxbow lake in AR and much of the lake is quite shallow. Some docks have some deeper water and I will target those and see what I see. Thanks
Man it’s so hard to leave when I’m scanning tons of them! I’m hoping whenever the weather decides to cool down they’ll be a little more active. I appreciate you swinging by Kit. And again, I’m a big fan of your videos. Fish on buddy 😎🎣
Man that was a lot of fish!i too would like to know what settings your running on your graph. It’s always fun seeing different styles of how people fish . I think this weather not making up its mind has made it hard out this way. Awesome video!!
Thanks man! I definitely think the weather is playing a big role right now. But it’s always a good day being on the water for me. I’m gonna make a video here soon if my settings. Thanks for dropping by 🎣😎
Hey Tim, for the life of me I can’t remember what exact website I went to. I tried to go back and find it with no luck. I believe there’s a ton of sites on google that can create stickers for you. It cost around 25 bucks. They had 2 day shipping. They do have a lot of places that I’ve found on google that make them. But if it pops into my head and I remember I’ll let you know. Thanks for dropping by 🎣😎
Funny you got a bad ass boat and spot lock and then say you can't afford LS. LOL. Great video man. I'm still struggling with the whole scroll speed thing. You have yours high but everyone else has it on auto, Lol
Hey Fishing Addict! Thanks for dropping by and checking out my video. I’m a big fan of your videos btw. And yes those were some pretty big schools of crappie I was finding. I can’t wait to get back out there. I appreciate you coming by. Fish bud 😎🎣
My notifications stopped working. Just seeing I missed some videos. That lake has a bunch. We’re trying to plan a trip. I wonder if dead sticking or under a float might trigger them? Great video
A float wouldn’t be a bad idea. I didn’t have anything rigged up with one and I tried dead sticking it. Ya never know sometimes. Hopefully, next time I get out there they are a bit more active 🎣😎
Try strike king paddle tail jigs. Slow swim then, the tail actions will make a difference and use a 1/8 ounce jig head. Chartreuse and white belly are best. Try it.
Hey Semi, your 100% right. Sometimes you can wear them out and sometimes you can pick a few off a pile and just got to move on. Thanks for coming by 🎣😎
The Stinger I have is great. No complaints yet. Had it 3 years now. It’s 17’8”. Only wish I woulda went with the 19’ one now. I didn’t at the time because I didn’t think it would fit in the garage. How do you like your skorpion? Everyone I’ve talked to who’s had one has nothing but good things to say about it.
@@Paulcatchesemall I like it, I got it for 15,500 it’s a 2022, so great deal.. just really gets pushed around by the wind but it’s super windy here in Louisiana so maybe just this time of year. It’s a little small but honestly not terrible
Hey Chad, yea unfortunately that just happens sometimes. I’ll throw different profiles, colors, different presentations and even use minnows. Sometimes they just don’t wanna eat 🤷🏻♂️. But that always makes it much more special when the bite is hot. Thanks for dropping by. Tight lines bud 😎😘
YOO PAUL! Now, this is what I'm talking about man! Holy crap that was a ton of crappie! I'm gonna need to go back and watch this video again so I can get my unit dialed in like yours. Your screen is so clear and it's so easy to see the crappie. Do you have any videos out to explain your settings? or could you tell me yours? Thanks for the upload man!
I do have a a previous video where I somewhat explain what my settings are. I’m don’t exactly remember how much I went over but I think I just skimmed over everything. I’ll have to watch it again it again and see. It was months ago. I’m going to make a video here really soon going over all my settings. I appreciate the continued support. 😎🎣
Thanks for sharing👍 Are you fishing in a Lowe Stinger? I just picked up a 175 Stinger. I’m still getting all my new electronics and I pilot installed. I still fish out my Express until I get Stinger finished. Take care👍
Congratulations on your new boat Greg! That’s awesome 😎. Yes I have the Stinger 175c and I absolutely love it! No complaints about the boat whatsoever from me. I almost bought a Xpress but went with the Lowe. I’m excited for you, the i-Pilot is something else. Idk how I ever fished without it 😁. Good luck to you and your future fishing trips. Tight lines bud 😎🎣
Please use 1/32oz jighead &ultra light rod reel combo 5 6 or 7 foot long 1/32 oz jighead fall slow enough to stay in strike zone longer just throw it tight line count down how far your depth is and start reeling and bumping your rod tip every so now and again till you feel a thump
When Vertical Jigging I use a 10' rod ultra light with 32oz jig heads, drop it down to the depth they're at and dead stick it. Iv'e seen people bump thier rod from time to time but that just never works for me. Under that bridge, it gets a ton of pressure, so the bite is either on or not. Thanks for dropping by and checking out the video. fish on buddy 🎣😎
That’s a great question. I’m actually in the process of completely updating my electronics on my boat here in a month or so. Personally I’m going to move my 93sv up to the front and add live scope. And most likely going to update my graph at the dash to a 102sv with the GT56IHD transducer. Some of these dealer got some good deals on livescope bundles. I was looking at the Livescope & 1022 model myself. It’s around 2,400. That’s not a bad deal at all in my opinion. Plus I like the 10” screen for livescope. But it’s a extra 400$ for that 1”. But we all spend that extra money for the things we love so it’s worth it to me. Let me know what your plans are I’m definitely interested. Best of luck 🎣😎
@@Paulcatchesemall , I have yet to purchase any and am looking in to the Garmin over others .Do you recommend the Garmin with live scope. I think you should get what you want 10" for $400 extra it would make a difference and you wouldn't be thinking 🤔 I should have gotten bigger all the times your out fishing.go for it.👍
@@savagewolf1966 I personally do not have experience with Garmin Livescope yet. But from the videos I see and people I know personally they can not say enough good things about it. Now if your planning on buying a Garmin for your console/dash of your boat and one for the front for live scope I would definitely recommend not getting any screen less than 10” and get the GT56UHD transducer. The 56 is far better than the 54 which is the one I have. That’s the best they had 2 years ago. I’d say it’s neck and neck with Hummingbird Mega side imaging. I really do like the Hummingbirds SI but I’m not too crazy about their graphs and how they look. I guess I just like Garmins a whole lot better. Plus Garmin is touch screen and it’s so easy to navigate and learn (My Opinion). And for live if you get the 10” screen you’ll be solid. Please let me know what you end up going with whenever you plan on making your purchase. Tight lines Savage Wolf 🎣😎
@@Paulcatchesemall ,Thank you for your wisdom on the subject, It helps amenslie. I really like your boat set up as well,money well spent! Good luck on the water my friend 👍👊🐟🐋
The time this video was made live scope was not in my price range. But since then I have bought it and sold it already 😂. The lakes I fish and time of year I crappie fish live scope just isn’t worth it for me.
It’s a beautiful lake to fish September - May. Once the pleasure boaters get there in the summer your riding the 5 foot waves all day 🌊 🚤 😆. It’s great to see you stop by again. Fish on buddy 😎🎣
@@Paulcatchesemall absolutely. Even when I was there in the first part of the summer it was still a blast. I'm going to have to see if my wife wants to vaca up there again. I sold the 17 ft boat for a 22 so I can handle that chop a bit more.
O that’s nice. I would love a 22’ boat, I just don’t have a big enough garage to put it in 😂. If you guys make your way down here let me know. Maybe we can get on some crappie. Again I appreciate you stopping by. Take care and tight lines 🎣😎
@@Paulcatchesemall oh ok. New sub so good to know what part of the country your fishing. My dads buddy moved back to Arkansas and is trying to get him to bring the boat down for a trip. Looks amazing. Cant wait to start exploring some videos on your channel . Its cool your from Illinois too, im from aurora. But yeah slim pickings for boat fishing spots close to here unless going to the chain. Man I want to move too lol. But hey man good luck out there next time. I cant wait to test out the sv93 I just installed today. The weekend can't come any soon enough. Catch you on the next episode my guy ✌️
@@aleckrug1554 That’s awesome, I’m from Woodridge. I lived in Aurora for a while too. I live near Central Arkansas now. There’s like 5-7 decent sized lakes all within 30 minute to a hour drive from here. The Arkansas River is also a great spot too.
Off the top of my head idk but I did just make a video of all my settings for my Garmin. It will all be on there th-cam.com/video/8Q1YpiwYsgU/w-d-xo.html
Hey Paul, I'm coming to Lake Hamilton this weekend for the 4th holiday. Any chance I could meet up with you Thursday, Friday, Saturday or Sunday (June 29 - July 2) for a couple hours for some dock shooting lessons? Happy to pay of course. We can use my boat or yours. Please let me know, would love to meet up with you. Nathan
Hi Nathan, I appreciate you watching the video and dropping by. I won’t be able to meet up with you during those times. I highly recommend getting out on the water as early as possible to beat the crowds and the heat. Look for docks 20+ feet deep on points. They usually hold tons of fish in the summer time. Good luck and enjoy your holiday.
If you can financially swing it I’d go with the 106. The 93 is a great unit, but anytime you can have a bigger screen in 100% worth it (my opinion) best of luck with your purchase and let me know what you end up going with and how you like it. Tight lines bud 🎣😎
@@Paulcatchesemall Thanks, it's hard to figure out what advantages there are with whichever model and there are so many choices it hurts my brain lol. I think I am going to get the 106 Ultra, it's apparently a really good deal? Which transducer do you use?
@@soupertrooper3864 I had the GT54 when I purchased my 93SV a few years ago. The 54 is nice but the 56 has a lot clearer of a image and more sonar settings. I believe the 106 has a lot better pixels as well. Which we’ll help with the clarity of identifying fish and structure.
@@Paulcatchesemall Well FedEx finally delivered the 106 today... I just got it out of the box and all I can say right now is this thing is massive lol I did not realize what a difference in the 10" screen and the 4" I guess screens I've had before... I cannot wait to get this thing on the water
That 93sv uhd looks aweaome.ive saving to get that unit.im almost there.there having a sale in 28 days at the store in my state.its very hard to wait.i can not afford livescope rt now but dont realy need it if i learn to read that unit.looks awesome.do you like it so far?
Hey Ninja, yea I love it! It puts me on so many crappie and has been a work horse for me for the past few years. I too don’t have live scope. It’s just not in the budget right now but hopefully soon. I’m excited that your getting one soon and I know you’ll be more than happy with it. If you have any questions with it just let me know. Also recently I just uploaded a video going through all my settings on it if your interested. Best of luck with your Garmin, you’ll love it 😎🎣
@@Paulcatchesemall hey man! I got the unit a few months back.and i love it but im.having a problem.1st off just wanted to say im from centeral ar as well.but the issue im having is getting my transducer right.ive moved it 3 times already " transom" mount. I have a 90 bass tracker tx17. If i go over 3 mph im getti g blurred screen.plus even at idle speed im not seeing fish.once i turn off my outboard it clears up & im seeing everything.but cant scout with my outboard.whats going on???? Where do i need to put this thing? Thanks in advancr.
Hey Ninja, How close is the transducer to the prop? If I’m remembering correctly I believe it needs to be 14-15 inches away. When the props spinning it makes bubbles and the transducer only works when it’s going through water. When it scans the bubbles it’s going through partial air and that causes a blurry screen a lot. Don’t know if I explained that the best but hope you understand. Also do you have the transducer level with the water line? That can be a game changer also.
@@Paulcatchesemall yes i have it literly probly 4-6" away from the lower unit.this may be my problem.and before i moved it over there i did not level it.i just eyed it.i think ill move it back where i had it & level it with a square & level.i have heard in all these forums & vids that its very important to level it.so should it be below the hull or perfectly level with the hull?
It definitely needs to be at least 14-16 inches away from the prop. Idk if your using one now but having a transducer board is great for this. Just so your not putting holes in your boat. And best way to get it level is to bring a level in your boat when you go fishing. And when your driving at scanning speed about 3-5 mph for most people put the level out and it will be offset cause your driving, so you use pennies to make it level and that will be perfect for the water line. Then when you go home put the amount of Pennie’s you needed to make it level and jack up your trailer until you reach it. (That’s what I did at least) hope this works. Best of luck
That’s awesome! Iv seen people catch them on videos before but from what I know they are pretty rare. It was a ton of fun catching one. Thanks for dropping by Jerry. Fish on buddy 🎣😎
Nope 😄, finding the crappie on this lake isn’t always the hard part. It’s a pretty high pressure lake so lots of times these guys are tough to bite unfortunately. Thanks for dropping by Jason. 🎣😎

Man that was a lot of fish!i too would like to know what settings your running on your graph. It’s always fun seeing different styles of how people fish . I think this weather not making up its mind has made it hard out this way. Awesome video!!
Thanks man! I definitely think the weather is playing a big role right now. But it’s always a good day being on the water for me. I’m gonna make a video here soon if my settings. Thanks for dropping by 🎣😎
Where did you get your decal (Paul catch’s them all) from on your Live well Lid?
Hey Tim, for the life of me I can’t remember what exact website I went to. I tried to go back and find it with no luck. I believe there’s a ton of sites on google that can create stickers for you. It cost around 25 bucks. They had 2 day shipping. They do have a lot of places that I’ve found on google that make them. But if it pops into my head and I remember I’ll let you know. Thanks for dropping by 🎣😎
Funny you got a bad ass boat and spot lock and then say you can't afford LS. LOL. Great video man. I'm still struggling with the whole scroll speed thing. You have yours high but everyone else has it on auto, Lol
I had live scope. Sold it a year ago. Slow speed is bad news. Everything you are seeing is hundreds of feet behind you.
So the transducer makes the picture correct, if I have a 54 on a uhd 73 sv I should see the same in clear vu?
As long as you got your setting dialed in right, yes
Wow, those are some huge schools.
Hey Fishing Addict! Thanks for dropping by and checking out my video. I’m a big fan of your videos btw. And yes those were some pretty big schools of crappie I was finding. I can’t wait to get back out there. I appreciate you coming by. Fish bud 😎🎣
My notifications stopped working. Just seeing I missed some videos. That lake has a bunch. We’re trying to plan a trip. I wonder if dead sticking or under a float might trigger them? Great video
A float wouldn’t be a bad idea. I didn’t have anything rigged up with one and I tried dead sticking it. Ya never know sometimes. Hopefully, next time I get out there they are a bit more active 🎣😎
@@Paulcatchesemall hopefully you’ll kill them
Thanks bud. Me too! 😄🎣😎
Come to clear lake California. Crappies on average is 2 pounds. Thanks for showing us how to setup the 93sv in your other video.
I’ve seen giant coke out of that lake! Hopefully one day. And your welcome! Good look and tight lines bud! 😎🎣
Try strike king paddle tail jigs. Slow swim then, the tail actions will make a difference and use a 1/8 ounce jig head. Chartreuse and white belly are best. Try it.
Thanks David! I'll give those a try!🎣😎
Some times you just got to run and gun! Catch a few crapps off each spot and call it a day!
Hey Semi, your 100% right. Sometimes you can wear them out and sometimes you can pick a few off a pile and just got to move on. Thanks for coming by 🎣😎
Do you like your stinger? I have a 16ft skorpion. I’ll need to upgrade eventually it’s not very big
The Stinger I have is great. No complaints yet. Had it 3 years now. It’s 17’8”. Only wish I woulda went with the 19’ one now. I didn’t at the time because I didn’t think it would fit in the garage. How do you like your skorpion? Everyone I’ve talked to who’s had one has nothing but good things to say about it.
@@Paulcatchesemall I like it, I got it for 15,500 it’s a 2022, so great deal.. just really gets pushed around by the wind but it’s super windy here in Louisiana so maybe just this time of year. It’s a little small but honestly not terrible
What Transducers do you have 54 -56 that is a 93sv to echo uhd
What lake an st
I have the 54UHd. And yes it’s the 93SV.
PAUL I HOOKED YOU THROUGH THE FISHING LIVE STREAM TONIGHT. I DO HOT PEPPERS, CAMPING AND JUNK.
Awesome! I love some peppers 🌶. What kind of camping you do?
@@Paulcatchesemall now basic RV. USED TO TENT.
@@johnnySMALLpepper awesome, I’ve only camped in a tent but a RV would be awesome!
That happened to me today two of my spots one here one there.
Hey Chad, yea unfortunately that just happens sometimes. I’ll throw different profiles, colors, different presentations and even use minnows. Sometimes they just don’t wanna eat 🤷🏻♂️. But that always makes it much more special when the bite is hot. Thanks for dropping by. Tight lines bud 😎😘
YOO PAUL! Now, this is what I'm talking about man! Holy crap that was a ton of crappie! I'm gonna need to go back and watch this video again so I can get my unit dialed in like yours. Your screen is so clear and it's so easy to see the crappie. Do you have any videos out to explain your settings? or could you tell me yours? Thanks for the upload man!
I do have a a previous video where I somewhat explain what my settings are. I’m don’t exactly remember how much I went over but I think I just skimmed over everything. I’ll have to watch it again it again and see. It was months ago. I’m going to make a video here really soon going over all my settings. I appreciate the continued support. 😎🎣
@@Paulcatchesemall that’s awesome I look forward to seeing it!
Thank you! 🙂
@@Paulcatchesemall Thank you!
😆🎣😎
Thanks for sharing👍 Are you fishing in a Lowe Stinger? I just picked up a 175 Stinger. I’m still getting all my new electronics and I pilot installed. I still fish out my Express until I get Stinger finished. Take care👍
Congratulations on your new boat Greg! That’s awesome 😎. Yes I have the Stinger 175c and I absolutely love it! No complaints about the boat whatsoever from me. I almost bought a Xpress but went with the Lowe. I’m excited for you, the i-Pilot is something else. Idk how I ever fished without it 😁. Good luck to you and your future fishing trips. Tight lines bud 😎🎣
New sub!
Thanks Geno! And welcome to the channel! Hope to see you around 🎣😎
Please use 1/32oz jighead &ultra light rod reel combo 5 6 or 7 foot long 1/32 oz jighead fall slow enough to stay in strike zone longer just throw it tight line count down how far your depth is and start reeling and bumping your rod tip every so now and again till you feel a thump
When Vertical Jigging I use a 10' rod ultra light with 32oz jig heads, drop it down to the depth they're at and dead stick it. Iv'e seen people bump thier rod from time to time but that just never works for me. Under that bridge, it gets a ton of pressure, so the bite is either on or not. Thanks for dropping by and checking out the video. fish on buddy 🎣😎
What lake are you on?
If you could change up your Garmin what one would you buy for a live scope and all the bells and whistles?
That’s a great question. I’m actually in the process of completely updating my electronics on my boat here in a month or so. Personally I’m going to move my 93sv up to the front and add live scope. And most likely going to update my graph at the dash to a 102sv with the GT56IHD transducer. Some of these dealer got some good deals on livescope bundles. I was looking at the Livescope & 1022 model myself. It’s around 2,400. That’s not a bad deal at all in my opinion. Plus I like the 10” screen for livescope. But it’s a extra 400$ for that 1”. But we all spend that extra money for the things we love so it’s worth it to me. Let me know what your plans are I’m definitely interested. Best of luck 🎣😎
@@Paulcatchesemall , I have yet to purchase any and am looking in to the Garmin over others .Do you recommend the Garmin with live scope. I think you should get what you want 10" for $400 extra it would make a difference and you wouldn't be thinking 🤔 I should have gotten bigger all the times your out fishing.go for it.👍
@@savagewolf1966 I personally do not have experience with Garmin Livescope yet. But from the videos I see and people I know personally they can not say enough good things about it. Now if your planning on buying a Garmin for your console/dash of your boat and one for the front for live scope I would definitely recommend not getting any screen less than 10” and get the GT56UHD transducer. The 56 is far better than the 54 which is the one I have. That’s the best they had 2 years ago. I’d say it’s neck and neck with Hummingbird Mega side imaging. I really do like the Hummingbirds SI but I’m not too crazy about their graphs and how they look. I guess I just like Garmins a whole lot better. Plus Garmin is touch screen and it’s so easy to navigate and learn (My Opinion). And for live if you get the 10” screen you’ll be solid. Please let me know what you end up going with whenever you plan on making your purchase. Tight lines Savage Wolf 🎣😎
@@Paulcatchesemall ,Thank you for your wisdom on the subject, It helps amenslie. I really like your boat set up as well,money well spent! Good luck on the water my friend 👍👊🐟🐋
Hell yea
Thanks Joe! 🎣😎
What jig you using. Thanks
Bobby Garland (baby shad)
Did you say you couldn't afford a live scope? 😂 with that bass boat you got???
The time this video was made live scope was not in my price range. But since then I have bought it and sold it already 😂. The lakes I fish and time of year I crappie fish live scope just isn’t worth it for me.
Hamilton again? I miss that lake. It's a bit of a jog from Houston though
It’s a beautiful lake to fish September - May. Once the pleasure boaters get there in the summer your riding the 5 foot waves all day 🌊 🚤 😆. It’s great to see you stop by again. Fish on buddy 😎🎣
@@Paulcatchesemall absolutely. Even when I was there in the first part of the summer it was still a blast. I'm going to have to see if my wife wants to vaca up there again. I sold the 17 ft boat for a 22 so I can handle that chop a bit more.
O that’s nice. I would love a 22’ boat, I just don’t have a big enough garage to put it in 😂. If you guys make your way down here let me know. Maybe we can get on some crappie. Again I appreciate you stopping by. Take care and tight lines 🎣😎
What lake is this?
Where is this? I just came across this video and noticed a chicago flag in you picture. Is this in Illinois?
Hey Alec, This video was filmed in Arkansas. I’m originally from Illinois, about 25 min south of Chicago. I moved down to Arkansas 10 years ago.
@@Paulcatchesemall oh ok. New sub so good to know what part of the country your fishing. My dads buddy moved back to Arkansas and is trying to get him to bring the boat down for a trip. Looks amazing. Cant wait to start exploring some videos on your channel . Its cool your from Illinois too, im from aurora. But yeah slim pickings for boat fishing spots close to here unless going to the chain. Man I want to move too lol. But hey man good luck out there next time. I cant wait to test out the sv93 I just installed today. The weekend can't come any soon enough. Catch you on the next episode my guy ✌️
@@aleckrug1554 That’s awesome, I’m from Woodridge. I lived in Aurora for a while too. I live near Central Arkansas now. There’s like 5-7 decent sized lakes all within 30 minute to a hour drive from here. The Arkansas River is also a great spot too.
What is your contrast set at on your Garmin?
Off the top of my head idk but I did just make a video of all my settings for my Garmin. It will all be on there th-cam.com/video/8Q1YpiwYsgU/w-d-xo.html
Hey Paul, I'm coming to Lake Hamilton this weekend for the 4th holiday. Any chance I could meet up with you Thursday, Friday, Saturday or Sunday (June 29 - July 2) for a couple hours for some dock shooting lessons? Happy to pay of course. We can use my boat or yours. Please let me know, would love to meet up with you.
Nathan
Hi Nathan, I appreciate you watching the video and dropping by. I won’t be able to meet up with you during those times. I highly recommend getting out on the water as early as possible to beat the crowds and the heat. Look for docks 20+ feet deep on points. They usually hold tons of fish in the summer time. Good luck and enjoy your holiday.
Thanks so much! I'll give it a shot.
Hello nice video can you share ur setting ?
What state you fishing in.
Arkansas
93SV with GT54 is $699 106 Ultra with GT54 $999 which one should I get? Either of these are massive improvements over what I have had in the past
If you can financially swing it I’d go with the 106. The 93 is a great unit, but anytime you can have a bigger screen in 100% worth it (my opinion) best of luck with your purchase and let me know what you end up going with and how you like it. Tight lines bud 🎣😎
@@Paulcatchesemall Thanks, it's hard to figure out what advantages there are with whichever model and there are so many choices it hurts my brain lol. I think I am going to get the 106 Ultra, it's apparently a really good deal? Which transducer do you use?
@@soupertrooper3864 I had the GT54 when I purchased my 93SV a few years ago. The 54 is nice but the 56 has a lot clearer of a image and more sonar settings. I believe the 106 has a lot better pixels as well. Which we’ll help with the clarity of identifying fish and structure.
@@Paulcatchesemall Well FedEx finally delivered the 106 today... I just got it out of the box and all I can say right now is this thing is massive lol I did not realize what a difference in the 10" screen and the 4" I guess screens I've had before... I cannot wait to get this thing on the water
Awesome man! Let me know how it looks once you get out there! Have fun! 🎣😎
with a graph that shows what the 93sv shows you odnt need live scope. I have the 73 sv and it doesnt show the definition yours shows
You need a live scope lol

What’s up Kastking. I appreciate you dropping by and checking out the video. Tight lines bud 😎🎣
THUMBS-UP!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Camo Joe! Hope all is well bud! 😎🎣
That 93sv uhd looks aweaome.ive saving to get that unit.im almost there.there having a sale in 28 days at the store in my state.its very hard to wait.i can not afford livescope rt now but dont realy need it if i learn to read that unit.looks awesome.do you like it so far?
Hey Ninja, yea I love it! It puts me on so many crappie and has been a work horse for me for the past few years. I too don’t have live scope. It’s just not in the budget right now but hopefully soon. I’m excited that your getting one soon and I know you’ll be more than happy with it. If you have any questions with it just let me know. Also recently I just uploaded a video going through all my settings on it if your interested. Best of luck with your Garmin, you’ll love it 😎🎣
@@Paulcatchesemall hey man! I got the unit a few months back.and i love it but im.having a problem.1st off just wanted to say im from centeral ar as well.but the issue im having is getting my transducer right.ive moved it 3 times already " transom" mount. I have a 90 bass tracker tx17. If i go over 3 mph im getti g blurred screen.plus even at idle speed im not seeing fish.once i turn off my outboard it clears up & im seeing everything.but cant scout with my outboard.whats going on???? Where do i need to put this thing? Thanks in advancr.
Hey Ninja, How close is the transducer to the prop? If I’m remembering correctly I believe it needs to be 14-15 inches away. When the props spinning it makes bubbles and the transducer only works when it’s going through water. When it scans the bubbles it’s going through partial air and that causes a blurry screen a lot. Don’t know if I explained that the best but hope you understand. Also do you have the transducer level with the water line? That can be a game changer also.
@@Paulcatchesemall yes i have it literly probly 4-6" away from the lower unit.this may be my problem.and before i moved it over there i did not level it.i just eyed it.i think ill move it back where i had it & level it with a square & level.i have heard in all these forums & vids that its very important to level it.so should it be below the hull or perfectly level with the hull?
It definitely needs to be at least 14-16 inches away from the prop. Idk if your using one now but having a transducer board is great for this. Just so your not putting holes in your boat. And best way to get it level is to bring a level in your boat when you go fishing. And when your driving at scanning speed about 3-5 mph for most people put the level out and it will be offset cause your driving, so you use pennies to make it level and that will be perfect for the water line. Then when you go home put the amount of Pennie’s you needed to make it level and jack up your trailer until you reach it. (That’s what I did at least) hope this works. Best of luck
WHAT AREA OF THE COUNTRY ARE YOU FISHING?
Hey Lary, I Live in the South. Thanks for dropping by and checking out the video. 🎣😎
Saw you in Fields to Water Livestream hookset and bell rang! Come check us out sometime.
Hey!! I’m gonna have to swing by and check you guys out. I enjoy watching the Catfishing live streams. I’ll be over there for sure! Fish on bud! 🎣😎
3 or 4 months ago I caught my first black nose to… I had to google what kind it was. Lol
That’s awesome! Iv seen people catch them on videos before but from what I know they are pretty rare. It was a ton of fun catching one. Thanks for dropping by Jerry. Fish on buddy 🎣😎
Something wrong with your sonar!
Nope 😄, finding the crappie on this lake isn’t always the hard part. It’s a pretty high pressure lake so lots of times these guys are tough to bite unfortunately. Thanks for dropping by Jason. 🎣😎
GOD DAMN!!! Cast net time, naw jk... me and my bro would go nuts seeing that
