Sonar Basics: How To Find Fish

Ever wonder what Fish look like on your sonar? In this video Tim takes you along with his Humminbird Solix and shows you what fish look like. He breaks down the basics of today's Sonar units including; Understanding your unit's transducer, how it works, and the "Cone Angle". All of these factors are important to painting a complete picture of what is below your boat.

Most default frequencies of today's transducers are 200kHz. At this frequency, the bottom area that the sonar is covering is approximately 1/3 of your overall depth. An easy number to remember is at 30ft deep, your sonar is scanning 10ft wide. 

Here is the gear Tim is using...
