Matt Herren on Fish Finders | Old Dog New Tricks

Professional angler Matt Herren shares his simple and straightforward approach to using modern fish finder technology to your advantage. He explains how today’s best fish finders have revolutionized the way anglers locate and catch fish. Herren emphasizes just how simple it is to operate this technology, and in the event that customizing your electronics gets them out of whack, how easy the fix is.

THE ROLE OF TECHNOLOGY IN MODERN FISHING
Fishing has changed dramatically over the years, with advanced sonar systems and detailed mapping leading the charge. Herren highlights how tools like forward-facing sonar and custom boots on the ground mapping have made finding high-percentage spots faster and more efficient. What once took hours of physical scouting can now be done in minutes.

USING TECHNOLOGY WITHOUT FEELING OVERWHELMED
Herren reassures viewers not to fear their electronics. Modern fishing technology is very intuitive, and customizing it to your liking is easier than it may seem. These units are already setup for success fresh out of the box. But Herren emphasizes that hands-on experience and practice is important, and learning your electronics in an area in which you are already familiar with is very helpful.

THE BENEFIT OF RESTORING TO DEFAULTS
If adjustments create confusion or undesirable results, restoring defaults quickly reverts the device to a known, effective baseline. This approach is especially beneficial for new users or those unfamiliar with advanced features, as it simplifies the learning process and ensures consistent functionality while learning the device's capabilities.
