    The BEST tutorial of understanding sideview i've ever seen!!!THANK YOU!!!!!. Excellent video and explanation. Thanks for taking the time to make this..
  • This was one of the best videos I've seen on what fish and structure look like. I live on Chickamauga Lake where we don't know what fish look like on a graph. There aren't any left. Electronics are the only way to go. If you fish likely places where fish should be you're screwed. If you want to catch any you have to go to desolated areas with good electronics. They'll be fish there somewhere and when you find them they won't be scared to strike. Docks no longer hold crappie, they did and would but the fish are gone. I've caught a 30 fish limit under my dock but today 2 or 3 is it. Guys if you have a good lake shut up! When word gets out you'll have 5 to 7 years left. Then every sob with two friends will be raping and pillaging. No one will be a local.

    I fish with my son, not in tournaments, just for memories. I have watched so many videos to try to make my 93SV more than just a map for me and this is BY FAR, the most informative and understandable side imaging video, I have watched..... I am a subscriber now and will be sharing this with all my friends
