I use side imaging or the PS 21 to find the school when it moves since they see to the side and I use Minn Kota Spot Lock to sit on the school and vertically jig for supper. The PS 30 looks down and to the side and the PS 21 looks to the side.
Next are 2 videos showing the Panoptix with 2 different transducers. Image #4 shows the same school with the Humminbird side imaging Image #3 is the same school using a Lowrance TM150 transducer set at 105 kHz frequency.
Image #2 shows the same school with a Humminbird using the MEGA transducer on High Chirp. Image #1 shows crappies on a 2D Garmin sonar using High Chirp. In this session I will show what they look like on different sonar brands. Crappies often suspend over open water, making them difficult to target. Learn how crappies display on different sonar brands.Ĭrappies are a much sought after fish and I get a lot of questions about what they look like on sonar. walleyes below it.Ĭrappies on different sonar brands Posted on August 27, 2017 Last but not least is what a 5 inch minnow attached to a sinker looks like with 1.5-2.5 lb.
I was lucky in my timing to collect good data to prove fish size on sonar. This screenshot shows a 29.5 inch walleye after being released. The last screenshot is smallmouth bass and I caught a few, this is a picture of one of them. northern pike, you can see when I set the hook and started bringing him to the surface. Needless to say I was excited when I found them but they didn't bite so I dropped the Aqua-Vu camera and was surprised what I found. The first example shows my bait dropping (green arrow), the bait is intercepted by a bass (red arrow) and the bass swims to the bottom (black arrow) and then I set the hook and catch him. The best way to tell size is catch one the fish you see on sonar or use an Aqua-Vu camera. In the image the black vertical lines show how long the fish is under the transducer and the green lines show the thickness of the fish arch. How long the fish arch is just how long the fish is below the transducer. The thickness of the fish arch also determines fish size. The more yellow you see the bigger the fish. For example if you have palette colors yellow, blue and red. The size of a fish is determined by the color of the fish arch. Fish look larger on a depth range of 20 foot than 100 foot.
Identifying fish size on sonar is very difficult since you can change the size with sensitivity adjustments or depth range. Fish size on sonar Posted on October 30, 2017
