Humminbird Fish Finder Training with Captain Jim!



Humminbird Fish Finder / GPS units are simply the best on the market! When you have to depend on your marine electronics to navigate safely at night and in the fog as well as help you find fish, it is one of your most valuable tools!

My Humminbird 1199ci HD SI unit is simply great! When trolling artificial lures or live bait, I just don’t troll “hoping” to run in to a school of fish. I am scanning up to 240 feet per each side of the boat, looking for schools of bait and fish. When I see them (example: 3 o’clock to the starboard or 9 o’clock to port!), I can then “turn” my boat towards the schools of bait and fish to “get in to the strike zone”. Once arriving on the schools of bait and fish, I can switch over to the “Down Imaging”, “Quadrabeam Plus” or “Switch Fire” sonar systems to let me see with great clarity (each technology providing a different yet important view!) exactly where the fish are and how they are orientating.

Why troll “blind” when you can scan surrounding water to see where the “big ones” are!! It makes all the difference in the world, turning a slow fishing day into a great catching day!

My Humminbird Fish Finder is a guide’s best friend. As a Field Staff member of Johnson Outdoors, I strongly recommend their products to any open water fishermen.

To be successful, you need to learn to use your marine electronics. StriperFun – Captain Jim provides true “hands on” training regarding how to read your Humminbird unit correctly!

This includes but is not limited to learning to read a standard two dimensional bottom view presentation, learning to read down imaging and side imaging, learning to read the GPS and Radar and a multitude of numerous other features and techniques!

Humminbird training trips are $75.00 an hour cash only with a 4 hour minimum (trips are normally 4 hours and can include other related topics such ) beginning afternoons out of Grider Hill Marina on Lake Cumberland or out of Celina TN on the Cumberland River. You can bring one friend if you choose.

The Striper fishing training services offered are "hands on and personalized" Striper fishing instructional technique training with me "on the water" aboard my boat.

I have attached a short video that touches very briefly on just one of the numerous topics / techniques taught. Please click the link to enjoy it.

About StriperFun and Captain Jim

I personally charter out of a 2015 new 24 foot center console Alweld Escort Bay boat. Powered by a 2015 Mercury 150 four (4) stroke outboard (I love my Mercury!). She is quiet to sneak up on big fish and fast to cover a lot of water!

With 24 mile radar, full Humminbird electronics, Minn Kota trolling motor and Cannon downriggers, this rig is the ultimate guide boat! She has "tons" of for moving around and fighting big fish and also has comfortable seating for the trip. The boat is covered to keep our clients dry during inclement and a heater is provided when it is cold. The boat is also outfitted with ultra fast Cannon Digi Troll 5 down riggers.



My crews and I are all United States Coast Guard Merchant Marine officers and are federally and state licensed, insured and are well trained in CPR & First Aid, with no less than 20 years experience per man! We have worked to be one of the best known guide services in the region and we will work hard to deliver "big trophy fish". You can count on the fact that your group will be treated with the utmost professional care and safety.

Sincerely,
