Fish Finder Settings and Tips – Questions and Answers

Here’s another video from Wilson Frazier (the Lowrance professor). He answers some common questions about sonar fish finders and GPS units (see my list of video highlights below). I posted another one of Mr. Frazier’s videos on this post – basic fish finder settings and tips. It’s a another good video with a few fish finder setup tips. Wilson Frazier offers instructional DVDs on his website itainttv.com
