I'm an avid Virginia angler who loves to target Bass, Striper, Crappie, and Snakehead on our local lakes and Rivers. I enjoy fishing from my boat, kayak, and even the shore. My #1 goal for this channel is to teach others how to become better anglers and continue to learn and grow everyday on the water.
I love teaching anglers how to better read and interpret their fishfinders, from the Garmin Striker 4 on up to the Garmin Echomap Ultra 106. You will find many videos featuring how to use these great fishfinders to their fullest potential.
On this channel you will find a variety of content from fishing, to sonar interpretation, tips and tricks, and even maintenance on my Evinrude ETEC outboard. I hope this channel has a little something for everyone who watches, and we all continue to learn and grow together.

The River was Trashed...Muddy Water Bass on the Tidal Rappahannock River
With Remnant's of Hurricane Debby dumping 2-4" of rain over Virginia, I knew the river systems would be high and muddy for awhile. However after about a week I thought the Rappahannock River would have cleared up and fishing retuned to normal. Boy was I wrong, we had to dodge a few floaters on our way down river in search of some good bass fishing. The water clarity was les than 6" and you could see the silt in the water moving as the tides flowed. I was expecting the day to be lost...but we stuck it out.

My grandfather is giving me his boat soon and he has a fish finder already in it but wanted to get the striker 4. I never knew how to read one since I’ve never had a boat . I always thought all the fish in the screen were the fish under the boat . I really needed this video
Glad it was helpful, and enjoy the boat :)
Garmin echomap UHD 52cv Review please❤
I will be doing Echomap stuff this winter...but the 106 Ultras....very similar though
Review Garmin echomap UHD 52cv please... thank you

Thanks... ❤
Thank you
Really useful explanation, thanks you.
Glad it was helpful!
When doing data sharing should I connect the fish finders to transducers?
Not needed
will my transducer get hot using duck sealant
Nope, I have a few videos showing the testing and temps.
You talk about the GT 8 and GT 15. But my unit came with the G20 transducer, and is much larger than the ones you've shown. Can you give an overview of the G20?
The math ain’t mathing on my calculator
15/2 is 7.5 .. first in the order of operations. Then I got depth (30) x tan(2) as it appears on my calculator and it gives me -65.55 then I multiply that by 7.5 and it gives me -491
Hello. I have enjoyed your videos on the garmin striker 4. Thank you for your knowledge. I recently upgrade to side sonar and was hoping to learn more about it from this channel. Hopefully one day you can try sidescan and make simular videos as you have done with the striker sonar. Thank you for all the years of knowledge.
I will be doing some work and teaching with the Echomap 106 Ultras starting this winter hopefully. They have Si, so I hope to eventually get some out there to learn from. Thank for watching
Well, as your biggest fan...lol, I watched this video 2 days too late. I looked ALL over for the original plug stamped on my engine tag, but Joe from Barnacle Bills helped me to determine that the plug number had been updated to the QC10WEP, so I bought them from him (at twice the price), to support his business and compensate him for the help. Normally, I'd be looking for the best deal though. Thanks so much for all your videos and help, as always.
Honestly no foul there...I order plenty from Barnacle Bills, and they are super helpful over the phone making sure you are all set. I plan on sending my injectors to them most likely this winter just as preventive maintenance.
@@1Cast1Fish - Good to know, thank you. I'll look forward to your next video addressing removing and reinstalling injectors. LOL. I'd like to send my injectors in also, but am having a hard time swallowing the $500 cost to do so (in my mind). :D
Thanks for the video series. I'm familiar with finders but not the GS4 so it was helpful since I just got a boat with one of these installed. Regarding the flasher mode that people use for ice fishing, I would note that the flasher display is merely the A-scope rendered in a circle, which shows it a bit larger and easier to see than the A-scope on the traditional sonar screen. I have a different type of sonar for ice fishing that also has both options. Personally I don't see any value in the flasher mode. Why restrict yourself to just using the A-scope (i.e., flasher display) when you could use the traditional sonar and see both the A-scope and the sonar history. The history is a great tool to have so you can see what's been going on if you've looked away from your sonar screen, and lets face it, you're not facing the screen every second you're fishing.
Good points, and I always recommend using what ever modes and features you enjoy or find useful...there are many features I teach and show, but don't have much use for, while others find those features useful.
I bought a garmin stryker 4cv for my fishing kayak build. Cant figure out whats wrong. it reads 22 feet of water when my kayak is floating in 6 inches or less of water and it frequently shows a code of being unattended and attempts to power down if you dont catch it in time. anyonr have any ideas? faulty transducer maybe?
Not sure on that one honestly, never seen that pop up on my screen, even leaving it sit for hours. I would call Garmin CS
Does this display the boat speed.
Yes it does show a GPS calculated boat speed
Does show the boat speed.
Yes it does show a GPS calculated boat speed
You can't let it get you down when you lose one. Very true.
Exactly right, especially when tournament fishing those big ones can be worth alot of $
Too much music
Agreed...check out newer videos...Less music :)
excellent video what is the injector pin purhaps the middle of injector? thanks
excellent video: my new engine 2012 175hp has Code 43 an 69 engine temp above expected range port temp 195F star temp 192F Code 25 EMM temp above expected range EMM temp 188F I plan to remove all the small rubber cooling tubes an clean. remove thremostate an soak in vinagar. I know the engine runs cooler above 2500RPM an hotter at idel.what are normal temps.for both? thanks
1st do you have the diagnostics software? T-Stat should be 143 degree Max Temps 230 below 3000rpm, 194 above 3000 rpm. EMM Maz should be 212 Typical Engine Temp should be around 160 +-20 at idle...WOT 120+-20 at WOT Code 29 is EMM temp >176 and limits engine to 1200 rpm So with those basics out of the way, the best way to see whats happening and when, is to use the software and watch the temps in real time during operation to see what is going on and when. I would start with the obvious first...is it a good flow of water out the back? Is it a idle issue or a WOT issue or all of the above? Good water pressure? (Waterpump) Are the intake screens messed up or plugged? How old are the T-Stats? If over 3 or they are very dirty...just replace them (trust me on this one) If issue is at higher rpm could be the backpressure relief valve. I would make sure these areas are good before tearing all the hoses off. Also is it saltwater use? How old? Look up how to do a cleaning flush on the motor to clean the passages as well. It could be many things or a combo of things honestly, just use a good methodical trouble shooting with the easiest things first.
@@1Cast1Fish yes I have the EV Diag. software. seller didn't know anything about engine. only used in fresh water. 170 hours. I've only scanned w/ engine off. was looking at historical errors.waiting on new fuel filter to run engine then scan while running.an observe the impellor discharge. I want to do the 300 hour service including all cooling parts impeller/t/states/ would you happen to know the part # for thremostats? an should I purchase the kit w/ spring an cover. thanks for advising.
@@1Cast1Fish Yes I have the EV Diag. software, engine only used in freshwater/ 170 hours. Seller didn’t know anything about engine. I’ve only scanned engine while she’s turned off, waiting on new fuel filters. Was planning to do the 300 hour maintaince which includes water pump impellor /thremostates (plus all the other stuff) then rescan.may start her up w/ new fuel filters if she discharges cooling water then scan while running. The overheat errors I think where historical. Would you happen to know the part # for thermostat an should I get the whole kit w/ cover an spring seal? Thanks for advising you are the man.
Not sur ethe P/N without referencing the motor S/N and model. I replace the T-Stat, Spring, Gasket, and O-Ring...I reuse the plastic housing.
Your videos are the best! So concise and informative. It also doesn't hurt that you have the same exact engine as I do. : D Thank you so much for your contributions.
Definitely helps to have the same engine...lol I love mine
Seems to be a bunch etec owners in here. I’m looking at a boat with a 2010 etec 50 hp. How reliable are these engines?
As reliable as the previous owner and their maintenance. Honestly they are super reliable and great when taken care of, however they can have issues if not taken care of. I would never buy a used one with having a ETEC mechanic look it over and run diagnostic tests for codes and hours and such. You want to know it's history.
Our waters have been that color all spring and summer, and it looks to be this fall also. I can't imagine how much the river bed has changed. Fun day on the water!
We have mostly had a very dry summer and the water has been very low and clear. We needed some rain, just wish it was spread out more. Hope you are doing well 😁
If I purchase a separate power cable for the Striker 4, can I use these tutorials and practice inside my home without a transducer cable being plugged into the unit? Thanks for these tutorials!
Yes you can, just use simulator mode as well to give you a bit more realistic look on the sonar side.
Glad to see you out on the water my friend seems like it has been awhile since you have been out fishing. I have only gotten out once this year myself not many option close to me anymore for good fishing even though Briary creek is close I hate that body of water I spend more time snagged on logs loosing baits and dogging trees, logs and stumps then I do fishing just way to manny sunken trees and logs and some are very hard to see until you are stuck o them. Anyway good sto see you out again.
I have been getting out more, just not making a video everytime. I love Briary but you are right about logs and stumps...plus it's not the same fishery it was years ago. Hope you are doing well, and I like seeing some of the knife and air rifle stuff you post up now.
@@1Cast1Fish I am hanging in there not fishing as much as I used to glad you like the knife and air rifle stuff I enjoy doing those videso and it was the plan all a long for my chanel to be an outtdoors channel not just a fishing channel. Funny thing is I can make a short knife video and it will get hundreds some times thousands of views and then I can make an epic fishing video were I catch 4lb 5lb and even a 9.5lb bass or crush 30 pus bass in 2hrs smallest being about 2 pounds largest being almost 8lbs and those epic fishing videos will get 30 to maybe 100 views if I am lucky. And those fishing videos as you know take a lot of work to not only film but to edit as well not counting all the prep work and gear you need to make it as well. Kinda blows my mind to tell you the truth. But making a knife or air rifle video all I have to do is go into my back yard in the woods on my properrty with 1 camera lol! So much easier and a lot less hassle that is for sure. Anyway good to here from you my friend still hope we can get together and fish one day together that would be cool.
Great video! Where can a person get this filter?
Order online...Crowely Marine or Barnicle Bills are good sources.
Excellent, thanks much!
Thank you :)
Dang! You made me undrstand! Thats a first ! Lol! Great video explaination!
Glad you enjoyed...Thank You :)
@1Cast1Fish Nice video og good info.. I was so close to buy the vivid 4cv but then you explained how small area the transducer covered (narrow beam) with clearVu ( 05:15 ) And that really sucks.. I have right now garmin striker 4 and was thinking to upgrade.. What would you recommend with great area beam so I don’t miss any fish?? Can I buy garmin striker with clearVu with larger area beam ?? Or should I just stick to my striker 4 🤔 Or what about striker plus 4cv ?? Will that be a great upgrade ?? Sry my English and grammar.. Hope you understand my English. Regards from Denmark 🇩🇰 Thomas
@1Cast1Fish
#1Cast1Fish
@@cabomful If you want the Clear Vu, Upgrade. The Clear Vu beam is small even on the big $2000+ models...it's just the way it works to get the increased clarity. Another thing to think about is the availability of Quickdraw Maps on the Vivid. If you think the mapping and CLear Vu would benefit you, then upgrade...but if these features are not going to be used much I would keep the 4
@@1Cast1Fish I have a very small boat and I’m sailing between 3-5 knobs when I’m trolling after perch and other fish on shallow waters (max 2 meters of water) . I like my striker 4 but I wish I could get some more clear and detailed pictures.. and also more precise pictures of the fish.. I have only tried striker 4 and I can’t figure out if the vivid will be to my advantage (small beam) or will the small beam not be a problem when I only sailing 3-5knobs ?? Would you take the vivid over the striker 4 ?? Or maybe just buy striker plus 4cv ???🤔 Sry my newbie question 😅
@@1Cast1FishI only use the striker 4 to see if there’s fish or not.. I’m not using it for waypoints or other thing “yet”.. only to see if there’s fish where I’m sailing on shallow waters.
Are you using plumbers putty in the yak?
Its Duct Seal, for sealing duct work
What is a bait cluster?
Same as a bait ball....just a large congregation of bait in a close tight area
I decided no to go this route on my aluminum jon boat. I catch a lot of fish in the spring because of the thermometer. 1/2 a degree matters when fish are moving up.
I would probably go the external route on a boat as well
Very informative video. Great job bro! I have only one question: Why is your fish swimming backwards? Mine are mostly the time swimming forward. 🙂
Gotta hold your mouth right :)
@@1Cast1Fish 🤭
excellent video are you turning it Clockwise to remove?do you not smear a dab of grease on the gasket? very smart to write the date. do you also have another water/fuel separator before it enters the engine, I've read water kills the injectors.thanks for god tip on the wires inside the filter. remember the ETEC is new to me.
I believe it is clockwise...I turned mine to the left. A small about on the gasket does not hurt...just a slight film. I do not have another, but use only Marine Rec 90 Grade Gas and no issues so far.
@@1Cast1Fish I see your turning toward the front of engine which is clockwise thanks
Thank you for the straightforward video
Very welcome
I just got one of these the other day and turned it on for the first tike yesterday but not in the water when i went to way point the north arrow and boat icon were both facing south. Do i need to re try turning it on in the water and let it locate or should it work out of the water?
You must be moving normally for the arrow to be accurate...it's using your changing GPS location to determine your heading
how can i adjust the fish finder volume on my garmin striker 4?
I do not thing the volume is adjustable...sorry
another excellent video. btw your fuel line is contacting the steering ram don't let it wear a hole in line.
I will have to check it out...I did have to some rubbing on the main power wires under the cowl that needed a bit of added protection early on. Glad you enjoyed the videos...thank you
excellent video got a link for the clamp an tool? I was planning a high quaility reusable fuel injector clamp I assume the line is 3/8"

@@1Cast1Fish when you screw into the filter doe's the screw ruin the filter being removed? like if mines clean can I reuse it?thanks
You can, if you screw it in very lightly and pull...if it comes out easily then it probably can be cleaned and reused. However they are pretty cheap to replace. I just like knowing a new clean one is in there since you have alot of work to get in there to it already. Plus if you do have issues or it's messed up you want a replacement on hand.
champion are know as lawn mower SP.have you tryed a differnt name brand spark plug? I realy like NGK however my 05 johnson BRP 175hp (none Etec) ran on the NGKs but not near as good as the champions. I now have a 012 Etec 175hp an want to start tuning up an replace all filters. thanks for sharing to avoid the boat ppl.whenever possiable.edit:fleaday has best deal
The Champs are what Evinrude recommends so that is what I have always ran...I heard of others using different plugs but with mixed results.
Thanks yes 🙌💯
You’re welcome 😊
How about quick draw contour maps?
All "Data" will transfer...I have not tried to transfer any maps
I can’t seem to get arches I’m guessing it’s because I’m in a kayak not moving fast enough or sometimes I’m anchored on a school of bait
Possible...are you just getting dots? If so try to slow the scroll speed a bit
Excellent job my friend!
Thank you very much!
I have caught so many fish on this unit in the last 5 years.
Thats awesome to hear...hope you catch many more....good luck
That g20 transducer size is kind of a turn off for me. I really dont want clear vu after watching your vids. Also im subbed brother. Great videos
The GT20 is considerably larger than the base model and if CV is not really a need for you, then definitely stick to the cheaper base unit. Thank you :)
scraP FOR TODAY
These gen 1 engines were actually pretty reliable. People just don’t take care of them and they tend to run crappy fuel through them.
Proper maintenance and good fuel are very important in theses G1's...properly taken care of motors last a looooooong time
@@1Cast1Fish agreed. I have the opportunity to buy a 2008 250HO but I’m a little hesitant because parts availability might be an issue now a days.
Most parts are still available and many used motors can be had pretty cheap. Depends on hours, maintenance, and price.
