    Doing research before I buy. Good info here bro. I’ve been fishing since I could crawl, but I’m getting serious about learning to read lakes and do efficient work when I’m on the water. Upgrading tools cost money, but time is money.

    I run an old Eagle fishmark 320, suits my needs just fine and was dirt cheap Lowrance technology. I'd love to get side imaging but can't justify the cost. GPS, lake maps, weather, etc is my cell phone lol. Marker buoys are my hotspot waypoints. I would pose the point that the biggest benefit for fancy integrated units is if you fish a lot of unfamiliar water. Depth, temp, and ability to read weeds or rocks or not is all you need.

    @johnweber2247 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Nice video. In addition to the great clarity of both down imaging and side imaging the navigation is incredibly useful. I bought a used boat last Fall that has a Helix 12 SI. The boat also has a Minnkota Ultrex. The two units are linked with fabulous results. I can use “spot lock” to hold my boat in a small gps defined position that eliminates the need to anchor. Adding way points to steer the boat along structure allows me to concentrate on fishing rather than steering. I also use it for steering my boat well trolling with the 15 horse trolling motor doing the actual pushing. I have been fishing for 45 years and nothing has changed the game for me as much as the Humminbird.

    Great vid, thanks for doing one on fish finders. For the second vid could you talk about various humminbird transducers, sizes and powers you would recommend for a kayak. And perhaps transducer placement mounting for SI on a kayak as well? Since the transducers vary depending on model I’d be curious on how that would effect what could be mounted properly.

    First I want to say that I greatly appreciate the fact that you still reply to viewer's questions and comments. Especially after having over 17K subscribers. Secondly, after close examination of finders under roughly $700, I was stuck between Hummingbird Helix 7 w/mega imaging and Raymarine Element 7HV, which also has 1.2ghz (mega) imaging and the 3D imaging. I chose the latter because I didn't want touchscreen on a kayak and 3D was intriguing. How would you compare the two of them? Side note: Lowrance was my 3rd choice, but only because it doesn't have 1.2ghz.

    • @OutofWORKoutdoors
      @OutofWORKoutdoors  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Certain companies do certain technologies better then others. Lowrance is better with the touch screens. Humminbird is better with 1.2kHz. Same features but some how they show up better on the screen

    Excellent intro! Thank you! I just bought a boat (Raider 185) for the Oregon coast...bay fishing/crabbing. No experience. I’m new to all of it. Seems like most boats in my area are running a Lowrance setup (I don’t know why). I’ve been looking at the Lowrance Elite FS 9. I think the FS9 hits all your key points but I’m still confused on the mapping. It comes pre loaded with mapping but it appears there’s more maps to download? Any other units I should look at are welcomed.

    Hola. Thank you for the explanation. Okay, I bought a used 22” Sea Pro here in Baja Sur by the Sea of Cortez. The boat has old-old Garmin fish finder (no GPS). I have Lawrence for my kayak, but I want to step up for the boat. What level of Hummingbird do I need to obtain side image and internal GPS? I am fishing saltwater, so is there something I need to be aware of what model is best. Depths here can go crazy deep. Also - how about navigation? I heard Hummingbird does not have navigation software for Sea of Cortez? Thank you. I want to make a purchase very soon. GRACIAS! Also, I expect the transducer and wiring comes with the unit? Or, is that more?

    • @OutofWORKoutdoors

      My humming bird helix 7 can ready to 150ft with the standard transducer. If you need more deeper, Humminbird has a exchange program for standard transducer to extra deep transducer. i think at minimum you should get an 8 inch screen Helix 8. Any model that says "SI" or "MSI" has side imagining. everything you need will come with the unit.

    It sucks that we here in South Africa pay almost double what you guys in the States pay for the same units.

    I'm 68 years old. Didn't grow up with technology. Had to get my 11 yr old grand son to make me an e mail. So my question is for 700 to 1000 which fish finder w/GPS is the easiest to operate.

      i would recommend the Lowrance Hook Reveal in 9 inch screen. I know these units were designed for the new comers to the sport.

    If you need a fish finder, you won't defeat me at my game. Believe you me. If you need a fish finder, like the meme, you should take up knitting.

    So you recommend the mega ? So you really don't like the 8 ?

    • @OutofWORKoutdoors
      @OutofWORKoutdoors  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      If your budget is in the mega imaging range, go for it. We both run mega on our kayaks. Little disappointing in the 8. should have just gotten the 9 for thebigger screen.

      you don't need updates if the unit is already working good.

    Dude, you know your stuff but you ramble and repeat yourself a LOT. You repeat yourself a LOT, many times, over and over. I know my lake. I want the best fish finder. Which unit is the most accurate FISH finder? Answer in 15 seconds. Go!
