This is a GREAT video. I am 70 years old and I don't do will trying to experiment with electronics all by myself. This saved me years of fiddling around. I don't have that many left. Thank you for making this video. I am glad you won the tournament.

This is the only video on side imaging newbies need to watch. Period.

Agree,really helpful

The SI demo with the light bulb and paper was the best demo I have EVER seen and I have watched a lot on SI. Your explanation of the water column and how far away objects actually are is awesome. For the first time I actually get it. Thanks!!

I don’t have Livescope, but have watched multiple Garmin side-scanning videos and this by far is the best. You are very articulate and explain very well what we are seeing, which we all appreciate. Keep up the great work and good luck fishing. Obviously with your skill set you don’t need as much luck as the rest of us.

Best side scan video I've seen...graphics were outstanding at the beginning to really show how things lay out in 3-D. Only suggestion is you say you have to "subtract" off the depth...that is not really correct. The object's distance is exactly what it says on the unit if you draw a line from the transducer to the object. You can think of this as the hypotenuse of a right triangle (one leg of the right angle is a line dropping from transducer to the bottom, the other right angle side is from the bottom directly under the boat moving to the side (right or left) along the bottom. You do not subtract the depth of the right angle side going from the boat to the bottom from the distance along the bottom's right angle side...instead you measure the hypotenuse to get the distance. So the object is closer than it appears if you just consider distance right/left of boat, but it is not as close as you would calculate if you subtract the depth off of the range. Your model shows this relationship well, but you should not say to subtract off the bottom depth as that will put the distance too close to the boat (you could use geometry to actually calculate it...this is called slant-range correction). Anyhow...all that does not diminish how outstanding this video is...thanks!

YESSS!!!! Thank you for saving me twenty minutes of typing!

This channels and “fish the moment “ are the best

One thing that was not mentioned regarding side imaging, the dark spot directly below the transducer/hull and the distance from your boat is directly correlated to the depth of the water you are in. To overcome this problem mark the brush, rock or structure on the screen with a waypoint/GPS then go back over the waypoint and dial in the location precisely with a waypoint edit.

I don't even own a boat let alone any electronics yet found this presentation quite interesting. Nicely done T.

To use side imaging you dont have to have a boat. These days kayaks are also good options to put a sonar on them.

Garmin owner but came to learn SI better. Probably the most comprehensive video on learning Side Imaging on KZread. You would think the manufacturers of these electronics would make videos like this...

This was probably the best overview on how to interpret side-scan I've come across so far. So many of the vids just go over the individual unit settings, but neglect to explain how to actually tell different things apart, be it structure, bottom types, or fish. Thanks for putting together a solid tutorial on actually understanding what's what on the screen and correlating it to the downscan. Got my first graph on the way and look forward to having a head start when I hopefully begin using it this spring.

Hands down the most helpful video I’ve ever watched on deciphering sonar images. Well done! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

This is by far the best Side imaging explanation video I have ever seen. Thank you so much and I just subscribe lol

This video is absolutely awesome. It was exactly what I was looking for. You did a perfect job explaining everything as simple as possible. Thank you very much 👍

The best video I've seen explaining side imaging, thank you. I've just spent a ton of money on electronics to up my game (meet my boys expectations of catching fish). I don't fish bass specifically, but feel with a little time on the water and practice, I will have the process mastered. Thank you again.

G'day mate. I've actually paused the video to ask this question. It was the only thing in my 4 hours of You Tube and Dr Google that wasn't explained and you did so perfectly. The distance "fold up' of the black space makes perfect sense now and thank you for stopping my brain coming out of my ears. The distance adjustment was something I thought of in other tutorials but never explained. My question is : Why don't the manufacturers factor this in and make it so much less confusing???? Love this vid. Cheers

Good question!

This enlighten me a lot. For some reason I didn’t put together the major benefit of the split screen until this. I understand it so much more because of the cross referencing. I kinda understood the professionals having multiple graphs but now it really makes more sense. I have a Garmin and plan on setting my split screens up very soon. Also the side imaging with the “ white dots “ enlighten me even more. That part I didn’t know and I realize how far behind I am in the game but at least I know now. Thanks dude!

Have to compliment you on the thorough job you did in this video and in others that you do. This video alone had 3 tips I hadn't thought about And never heard on other videos trying to show side scan

Excellent video. I'm 67 and have only been bass fishing for a few years, and I never get enough time on the water. Your videos are very helpful. Thanks!

Just got a Tracker Pro 170 and I’m looking to upgrade the little stock lowrance to one of these humminbirds. This video helped me to pull the trigger. Thanks for the awesome explanation!

Please know that the analytics for this video are going to be messed up cause I’m gonna watch this about 50 more times!!! AWSOME video. More More More!!!

Thanks Ty. What a great help, always looking to get better with my electronics .Thanks again and God bless you and your family!!!

Best side imaging video I’ve watched. Description and information was broken down perfectly.

Well done. Very good illustration and instructions I understand more of what’s I’m looking at. Thank you!

Thanks so much Tyler...by far the best content available...great detail!

Great refresher for me. I always pick up something new that will help. Awesome stuff!

Great video! I am still learning to use my side scan and this was VERY helpful at understanding what I’m seeing.

I am totally amazed at your presentation on side imagining. It’s light years from the Hummingbird Super 60 flasher I used way back when. I just wanted to say thank you for explaining it all. Very educational

Well done Tyler great info for newbie,s and great refresher for an old guy lol. That boat looked like a small sailboat. Keep up the great vids.

Great job of explaining what you see when using side-imaging. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

Thanks for this simplified explanation of the use of side imaging.

Really great video brother I understood this breakdown of sid imaging better then any other one I've watched...

Best video I’ve found on Side Imaging. Great teaching video!

Great explanations and very educational! I Love when I can watch a video and actually learn something from it that I can go and duplicate on the water. Let us know if that was actually a boat under the bridge. 👍🏻🎣🇺🇸

Funny that I didn’t even see that when I took the screen shot. Just after reviewing the photo. I’ll definitely have to check it out

Very informative and clearly explained. Thank you for your time

Best side imaging video on the internet hands down. GREAT work. I am a very experienced user and fully understand side imaging and still learned a few things.

Im in the process of buying a boat now and this was definitely some need to know information. Awesome videos, keep the content coming.

Young man you absolutely killed this video. In fact maybe the best I've saw. Love seeing the the attention and education back on traditional,, SI and DI. Excellent show sir!

Best side imaging video I have watched,yet, nice job explaining and showing it.

Ur videos have been helping me alot im new to the electronics game with fishing i really appreciate u taking the time to break this stuff down for us to learn

This video is so informative. I’m pretty good at locating fish on my side scan. My biggest problem is finding my spot in relation to my boat.

Fantastic video tyler. Great info

What a great presentation! Thank you Sir!

Without a doubt, the best and most informative idea on using my Bird I have EVER watched 😎 Thanks so much Sir for sharing. I will be re-watching this one. Great job of teaching 👊😎

Man this is the best explanation ive ever seen on side imaging! Thanks for this!!

This has been very helpful to me. Thanks so much.

I kayak and only have DI I find it pretty hard to get a clear picture of what's really going on underwater. I am still trying to get the most out of only having Di. cant wait to get a boat, great video by the way very easy to follow and you do a great job trying to help the viewer understand what it really looks like underwater.

Excellent presentation well explained and good graphics as well

Very happy I found this and your channel, great info. I'll be watching many more.

Great stuff man. Very informative.

Great content. Thanks, Ty

This is the best video out there in regards to understanding SI.

Best video that has ever been posted to KZread. Ty you are king!

Great job on the video. I would like to call attention to one thing though: the Biggest Mistake. Because sonar always goes in a straight line, when something shows up at 50 feet, it REALLY IS 50 feet away from the transducer. However, 50' away does NOT mean 50' to the side. But it's not as simple as subtracting the depth either. To know the exact horizontal distance, you need some trigonometry. The depth is one leg, the horizontal distance is the other leg, and the sonar distance is the hypotenuse. The good news is that as long as the target is more than two times the water depth, the adjustment to find the true horizontal distance is small. The key to remember is that it will always be closer than reported, but the amount closer depends on water depth and sonar distance to the target. Shallow water and large sonar distance, little correction is needed. When the sonar distance is barely more than the water depth, the target is practically under the boat.

Wow by far the best video I have seen. Thanks for taking the time to create this...

Wow! Thank you for this video! Learned a lot!

Really good breakdown on understanding what your looking at. Very well done with dumbing it down with the paper an light illustration brought me to new light on underneath me

Great video man! Very informative

Excellent presentation!

This was the best info on side imaging I've every seen thank you

Excellent video...learned a lot...thanks

ok WOW nice run thanks for sharing. Its a need to watch. Great job did not know much now I do, wish I had extra money but just bought my boat and Humminbird. tapped out but your vid is fantastic. Thank you

By far, the best video on side imaging.

This was a very well made, and informative video. Thanks

After watching numerous side scan videos finally the best video out there. Thank you for this effort. New subscriber here.

I originally wanted a 10" solix fory kayak, but end of last winter I was able to pick up a 10" Garmin echomap Ultra 106sv for 758+ tax after sales & bass pro club points. Then I added steady cast heading sensor & Lvs34 system late January. Between sales, coupon codes BP club points which is cash in store. I ended up paying 2350+ tax for all of that! The 10" Solix or 10" hds pro is running 2799.99 by themselves. Been extremely happy with my set up so far. Its actually my first fishing electronics. In my opinion hummingbird still has best side imaging but Garmin's GT56 & new hd3n1 are so close, its not worth price difference for what I paid. Garmin definitely has edge on LS. Lowrance doesn't really have an edge with anything anymore. Their bad to almost non-existent customer support is what completely ruled them out for me.

Best explanation of what's under the boat while side scanning thar I've seen on the internet. Especially the depth/range differential. 1👍

Excellent video and well explained,thank you 👊❤️

Fantastic tutorial

This is a truly fantastic explanation. Nicely done!

Home run!!! Mic drop! I couldn't ask for a more detailed explanation for using my Solix. Now, an on-the-water followup would be icing on the cake showing how you position your boat and lure selection. Thanks.

One of the best side imaging review that I have seen. Nice work.

Great job brother, best video on the subject matter. Keep up the good work.

Great tutorial. Thanks
