Thanks!
Oh wow thank you so much.....never even knew that was possible :)
Your videos are what I’ve been searching for since I bought my Garmin 7sv. Outstanding. Thank you.
Glad to hear it! Thank you so much
man I love how you have dived so deep into this fish finder especially since this is the one that I use on my little boat all the time.
It is a great little unit for sure
Great video! I've been using my Striker Plus 4CV for a couple summers now. Mostly trial and error to learn what everything means and does. These vids have been super helpful in learning a LOT of info about things I've been seeing, or NOT seeing the last few seasons! Thanks again!
Awesome to hear that these videos are a big help for you....I am glad they are helping others get more out of their fish finders
picked up a garmin 4 vivid....had come across your course pre purchase and was one of the deciding factors in my purchase decision....two thumbs up on your instructional videos, its is so nice for a change to get the most out of a piece of equipment. ..your site is saved and ill be using it as a reference, I consider it my Garmin Encyclopedia. Two thumbs up!
Super awesome to hear and thank you...hope you enjoy other videos as there is more to come.
Thank you for your class videos. I got a Garmin Striker plus 4 for Christmas for my paddle kayak. It'll will ready for the first trip out early spring
Good luck, hope you get a new PB
Just installed my first graph ever, a striker 4 vivid cv. Your videos are a great tutorial! Thanks mate!
Thank you
I am an absolute sonar beginner and bought my Garmin Striker yesterday and will install it now on my boat. Thanks to your videos many things come clear and I start to learn the right using of the device. Thanks! Great Job!
Great to hear! Thank you and enjoy the fish finder
This video series is class, thank you very much for taking the time and effort to do this, very helpful indeed!
You're very welcome!
Thanks for these. Very informative and as a technical communication specialist myself, I applaud how carefully planned, informative, and detailed these are. You must have been an instructional designer in a past life (or current!)
Glad it was helpful! I love teaching others how to get more out of their fish finder...and catch more fish
You're classes are so informative and professional. Thank you so much!!
Glad you like them! Thanks a ton
My Striker 4 plus comes in the mail today. I'll be ice fishing hours after. Thanks!
Awesome, hope you love it and catch a few....good luck
Hey man... thanks for these videos...I totally appreciate it. I have been doing some practicing with my garmin while watching. Helps when I'm at the lake.
Keep at it, never stop learning
Thank you for these classes. I always save and study.
Excellent! This was definitely a good class IMO for getting into really learning the sonar. More to come
Than you for putting these tutorials together. Been very helpful
Glad you like them!
Great tutorial and presentation- thanks for taking the time
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love your classes! Learning a lot.
Glad you like them! Thank you
Nice job - quick and to the point on each feature
Thank you
Another great job . I guess the final exam will be buying one this year . Thanks
Hopefully soon....the best fishing is right around the corner :)
thank you so much for clearing this up for me . your the best i was going to by a fish finder that i can understand cause this one was using was so confusing- but it wasn't the fish finders fault it was mine thank you
You are very welcome...It is a continual learning curve
Hey Paul great stuff man. I'll try the a scope out this weekend for whatever reason I've never turned it on. Thanks man
It works great once yo get the hang of it and understand what you see...its kinda like a flasher.
You should be getting paid big bucks for this!! Loved every class, thank you!! SO excited to get out on those lakes.
Thank you, and good luck
always appreciative of these videos!
Glad you like them! Thank you
Thanks for doing these videos, they are great.

Another excellent video - thanks
Glad you enjoyed it...Thank you
Great Video, I just need to put it to practice. Thank You
You can do it!
Thank You for class #4
Welcome 😊
Another great video!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you
Thank you for doing these.
My pleasure!
Brilliant, if you ever make it up to Vancouver Island I will get the beers...
I will remember that :)
Thanks buddy for the great video my friend 👍
No problem 👍 Thank you
Man thanks so much for these
Glad you like them!
My Friend you are awesome. I just bought this on Amazon on sale for 105 dollars. Its my first time with a fish finder and I was totally lost and thought about sending it back. Garmin should have your link on their site as your tutorials are awesome for beginners.
Cant wait to see more of them. i mostly fish in my friends 4 acre pond but some times i go out on the reservoirs. I use a Roundabout boat.
I wish the would...lol.....glad you find these useful and good luck
Those round boats are pretty interesting ...they look pretty stable
@@1Cast1Fish Very stable. I am 6'3" and weigh 300 lbs and I have no issues with it.
@@1Cast1Fish I sent them an Email about your videos. Basically telling them I was ready to send it back until I watched your videos.
Great information
Glad you liked it
Great job
Thank You
Very helpful video
Glad it was helpful! Thanks
Great vid liked and stay connected plus stay safe 🙏
Thanks and sure
enjoyed the video and looking forward to more, could you go more in depth on going to waypoint i seem to have trouble getting back to mark spot, usually takes me a while once i get there to find it by the screen.
I will be going over waypoints here soon...I am finishing up class #5 now...and will start into waypoint stuff in either 6 or 7....I also have a few videos on waypoints that may help
Can't wait ! Just how much is in this little package !
This will be a super useful video...this is where things will really start to come together.
Rockin, Paul! 💪
Thanks buddy
@@1Cast1Fish 👊
Hi Paul you are very informative, I want to know how I set the stiker 4 screen to show bottom depth and fish only thank you Pat.
Traditional sonar will show the bottom depth and also any fish ...you can also use the fish symbols to show fish...the fish symbol options even have a selection that will show a fish icon and the depth of the fish above it on the screen
The river is open up here and some of the lakes have ice off. Cant wait to get out and fish.
I am ready too...good luck
Great vid...
Thank you
I just watched all four of your videos. They were so informative I went to Basspro to purchase one on sale. Now they tell me they were on clearance and not being restocked.
Glad you like them! Thank you, I believe you must have purchased the Plus or the Plus CV...they are being replaced by the new Vivid CV.
I just ordered my Vivid
Very nice, the vivid is a nice unit for sure.
Thanks for the video! One question if you allow me:
If I disconnect my unit from the battery do I loose all the customized settings?
No it’s all saved
I have a striker 7sv and was wondering if you can use flasher and traditional as a combo?
No you can not, and I think that this is a fail on Garmin's part as I would like both too :(
Which frequency do you use most of the time? I think the split may be too crowded, wondering which one is more useful MOST of the time -- 77 or 200? thanks!
I find I use the 77 about 3/4 of the time
just getting started with my 4cv, thanks for the instructions.
How do I set time of day ?
Time of day should be set automatically by the GPS
Subbed. Thanks!
Awesome, thank you!
Can you make a video on how to determine stuff on the bottom as in trees, grass, brush, rock piles?
I plan on going over more of that type of thing later
I reset mine to factory settings the other day. I wanted to see the “Arches” for fish instead of the fish symbols. I turned fish symbol off and didn’t see any arches at all but yet it still beeped for fish it was picking up? I was trolling for trout at 1.5-2.8 mph with my outboard and no arches anywhere?? Do you have to turn it on somewhere?
Nope, might need to adjust your settings a bit as far as gain or noise rejection
Gunna buy the vivid 4cv for my new sib. Great help these vids 👍
Nice choice
@@1Cast1Fish other than the vivid having the 7 color choices and the clearvu menu, the rest of the menu features is predominantly the same as the original and plus I suspect
@@ENGDyna That is pretty much correct
@@1Cast1Fish what split frequency would you use with the vivid cv, predominantly 10-30ft river/lake, and max offshore 60ft sea. Traditional: 50/77/200 kHz CHIRP (mid and high) ClearVü: 260/455/800 kHz
I would start with 77kHz Chirp and 800kHz for Clear Vu...but depending on your image 455kHz may work better for ClearVu....the 800 is just a bit better resolution, so I would start there first with those depths.
great striker 4 stuff. Can you do a tutorial on the differences between the striker vivid 4 cv and striker plus 4 cv
Maybe some time in the future
That's it. I'm buying one.
You will be very pleased I am sure
how accurate would you say the "larger" fish symbol is in determining that its actually a bigger fish then the others?
It is ok...definitely not 100%
Another awesome video! Thank you! Any chance you could do a video on what it looks like to get false reads? I did a hull transducer mount on my Kayak following your instructions using duct seal. I get a good readout, and occasionally I get a break in the floor and it beeps and shows fish. It will do this for an extended amount of time, then go back to working normal. Would you suggest I remount it? Is this common? Any help or guidance is tremendously appreciated!
By break in the floor do you mean it just loses the bottom? Like you see no bottom, but still see fish?
@@1Cast1Fish Thanks for the reply! So it goes from a very clear read of depth (it’s pretty shallow usually around 4 to 5 feet, to constant beeps (fish) but the fish are showing up well below the depth line. It’s almost as if the floor just stops and it shows fish, hundreds of them, most sometimes at 15 to 20 feet below (this lake is 8 at it’s very deepest) Sometimes it snaps out of it and goes back to picking up the bottom, other times it goes back to normal after turning it off, then back on. I switched to clearvu and that was just black. It can’t possibly be fish, the way it reads, and this lake was drained about 10 years ago, so I’m certain there aren’t any deep holes with that sort of drop off with hundreds of fish!
Water temp, GPS, and depth seem to be accurate, it’s just this weird occurrence. Transducer is in the sealed front hatch, but far back enough to always be below the waterline.
Do you suggest I try and remount my transducer in the duct seal, before reaching out to Garmin? Curious if that’s what a bad read looks like. I’d really appreciate you insights, your videos are what led me to purchase this unit!
@@garyworkman7317 Well it shouldn't be doing that, so the reading is messed up (due to something). I would definitely try remounting it to rule that out. Another thing would be do you have the fish ID on? maybe turn it off. Again if these don't work try a factory reset... and test it
I may have missed it, but in case you did not cover it, how do you find the thremocline on the Striker 4 (no chirp)? Thanks, cool videoes, great job on all.
I did not cover this topic yet, but I do get asked alot about it...so I need to discuss it in a video.
You can see the thermocline with the Garmin Striker...however what a lot of don't realize is that in many lakes depending on the time of year and other variables a distinct thermocline may not actually be present. A thermocline generally will show up as a area of "noise" in a line somewhere within the water column across the fish finder screen (not top or bottom noise). The thing to remember is that since it will show up as a noise signature normally, you want to be careful about setting your noise removal setting to high, as it can remove the thermocline as well. Hope this helps
Thanks for a great set of tutorials. Did you do an 'on the water' video?
I will be for more of the later stuff
You da Man!!
Thanks
What does a brush piles look like on sonar 4
Its hard to explain in a comment, but I have a video planned to show some brush piles
Would weed beds show up as a thin line and a sandy bottom show up as a thick line?
Most likely the sandy bottom will be softer unless it is layed over a harder substrate underneath the sand. The weed beds will show just above the bottom return....the best way to describe it would be look for thicker "noise" just above the bottom.
My striker 4 shows the bottom of the lake on top of the screen so it’s almost like I have to run it upside down how do I fix this
Is the bottom really big...like taking up most of the screen? If this is the case, set your depth scale to auto....it may have been changed accidently.
Hello! Congrats for the channel, i learn a lot every day! Just waiting for the part 2 explanation!
Btw, have one question.. is it normal i see my jigging bait working only shallow water? I always see it until about 7 meters (about 12 feets). More deeper bait desappear (my gain is on med-aut) and i using 77khz frequence.
Tried to set gain to high (90%).. and i could see my bait working, but also i got too much interference on the deep screen (a lot of huge red spots).. its impractical..
So, its normal this sonar get my bait (vertical fishing) only a 12 feet ?
Im afraid maybe my sonar have a inssue.. week signal.. dunno
When vertical jigging and wanting to see your bait, there are always tradeoffs considering you are trying to watch a bait that may be 3" or so on a screen from over 12ft down in water. Water clarity can also have a huge impact on your success as well...dirty water it is much harder to see do to the increases needed in your gain, which will show more noise. Then again it is possible that your bait had drifted outside your transducers cone as well, which is easy to have happen with wind or current. I would guess your gear is working just fine, and judging by what you have already tried, you have a good idea what you are doing in your adjustments. I would stay with it and find the best balance, but it will likely be a compromise.
a tip : you can watch movies at flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching a lot of movies these days.
@Ernesto Marcos Yup, have been watching on flixzone} for since december myself :D

Hello friend
Thanks for sharing 💞 Good 👍❤💞 Nice video
Thank you too
What do you suggest if I have this model and I plan to add another fish finder to not have interference?
The only time I have had interference issues is if the power cables are near other power sources and cables....and then it is even dependent on how strong the signals are.
@@1Cast1Fish ok man thanks! And thanks for the videos. I come home every day since I got my garmin 4 plus and sit down with my fish finder and watch 1 to 2 Vids.
I appreciate you for the help
Once you watch this whole series, you will have been through every menu and feature, so you are definitely doing your part to learn....good lucj out there and awesome to see others use their fishfinder as more than an expensive depth gauge :)
I've used my Striker 4 five times now. Is it safe to say when the fishfinder is in fish symbol mode there is only one size fish symbol? If so then the second option down with the bubbles would give me a large or small arch along with the fish symbol to indicate the size of the fish. In the pure fish symbol mode, which I tried, a four inch fish and a 24 inch fish have the same size fish symbol. Thanks, and thanks for the scroll speed info. I had mine on fast while trolling at 1.5 mph and my arches were very flat.
Okay, let me correct myself. There are different size pure fish symbols which I figured out by playing around on the simulator. On real water I was fooled into thinking all fish symbols were the same size because I was trolling shallow water(mostly 10 to 15 feet) with the 200khz, 15 degree setting which was too narrow and only showed me small creek chubs. I changed the settings to 77khz for a wider 45 degree angle in the 30 feet or less water that I troll in. I got it.
Glad you got it figured out...here is a video I did awhile ago explaining the fish symbols a bit. th-cam.com/video/gP7AVbk6FUI/w-d-xo.html
Scroll speed is a common thing to cause the arch's to be "wrong" in peoples view....most of the issues we have are self inflicted with our settings choices.
Can the garmin striker 4 do side imaging?
No the Striker 4 series can not
Excellent video!! How do I set boat speed display?? Thanks!!
Boat speed is a readout that can be in the upper left corner of the screen. If it is not there, you can go to the readout menu and select it to show. If you can not find it, let me know. Just repost as a new comment so I get the notification and can reply.
@@1Cast1Fish Will do! Best channel on TH-cam! Thanks!!
do the fish symbols vary in size or are they all the same ?
They will vary in size based on what the fish finder thinks are larger or smaller fish
How do I add the depth to traditional screen as of now it only shows blank lines for depth
Please explain a bit further...do you mean the depth indication on the upper left?
Yes sir but it was cause boat was out of water when I was trying to make some adjustments I’m good now but would not have been had I not watched your series on the stryker
Glad you figured it out :)
Hello mate have a good day..I have a question mate.is this normal if every 20 second the Garmin automatically back to menu..same model.
No that is not normal, possibly try a factory reset and see if hat clears it up.
@@1Cast1Fish oh ok..every time I use when I already set and stop then start fishing..after 20 seconds the settings that I already set automatically back to menu..i just buy last two weeks..
@@azchannel1291 yeah that definitely does not seem right to me...try a reset
how transfer data from old Garmin to striker plus 4 fish finder to new please.
Great question, and I will be covering this soon hopefully...hint, it's the blue/brown wires
@@1Cast1Fish thank you i will wait you recommendations
Do you know how to add fish symbols on a striker 4 plus?
here is a video I did awhile ago explaining the fish symbols a bit. th-cam.com/video/gP7AVbk6FUI/w-d-xo.html
@@1Cast1Fish Great videos all of them but I dont think the striker 4 plus has the fish symbols??
@@skylinearielimagery7841 It should, all the Striker models have it
i left a like for you my friend sorry it has been a while.
Thanks a ton...I see you are still at it on the game streams
@@1Cast1Fish i am indeed and other stuff as well.
Can you see fish in the a scope
Yes you can (just not arches) its kinda like a flasher
i have a dumb question: For the fish icons, what size do the icons represent in real life? for example: small = 4" fish, Med = 12" fish , Large icon = 16" ?
You know that's a good question, that is not covered anywhere...I really don't have an answer for you either as they are not really meant to represent fish of a certain size....I think its a generalization
@@1Cast1Fish thank you for the time to answer!! Appreciate all your tutorials. I spent all day yesterday watching them in order to get familiar with my striker 4 plus!
Thats awesome, learning how to use the fish finder for more than just temp and depth is critical to catching more fish and understanding what is beneath the waters surface. Sorry I could not help more on the fish size question.
@@1Cast1Fish you've helped me 10-fold on all of the videos!
Thanks for the great information
You bet! Thanks
I love this class i highly recommended i even post it on the FB group kayak fishing for beginners do u have Instagram ?
Thank you, glad you enjoyed
I'm a kayak guy, my wife got me one of these for Christmas and I went out today and when I was paddling it was going insane. Advice?
Need a bit more info...hows the transducer mounted? Water Depth? Clarity? Weeds or Grass?
@@1Cast1Fish thru my rear most scupper hole. Plan on getting the yak attack blade to permanently mount it. The water was 20 feet while not paddling but as soon as I started paddling it was going crazy
My guess is that in that mounting location, when the kayak moves (you paddle) it is causing turbulence in the water around the transducer. Also be sur ethe transducer is below the water line while paddling.
@@imatreeguy1143 awesome, I got one for my kayak also for Christmas from my wife. These classes vids will help us
How to know sand and coral????
I don't have any coral, but sand shows up as a soft bottom....I assume coral should be like a hard bottom, but not 100% sure
When is the next class ??
With spring to do lists it has been busy...but finishing up on #5 tonight...so should be posted up for Saturday. Some really good stuff in this next one that took a bit of extra time...hope you enjoy.
my question is how do l even find that sonar setting from home? l’m lost 😠
The best way to work through sonar settings at home is to use the simulator mode
this thing is to complicated
Just gotta practice and learn
Will you do one with the clear vu?
I do have a Clear Vu model now, so...Yes I will be going over it as well
Thank you for doing these.
Glad you like them!
Hello!
Do you think it'll be able to work at 400-600ft? (off shore, salt water), all the videos i've seen are for shallow water :(
Yes, but probably about at the max limit of functional use, as the max saltwater depth is lower than freshwater.
The Saltwater Max is 750ft
