 Welcome all back to a steamy steamy day in Texas y'all. Thanks for being here We are going to hit the water today in the silver bullet freshly back from the cool waters of Lake, Michigan Last video took the crispy out trying to catch catfish didn't work out, but I have been Dying to show you guys and me personally test this thing out. So we're gonna see this thing together what I am calling the Doppler 9000 What is the Doppler 9000 you might ask Well, that's what I'm calling it just because it's so crazy if you look at my trolling motor It's it's got a lot going on But what is new on the silver bullet right now is I've got a motorized turret that is able to Separately from the trolling motor Scan the waters with the live scope now in theory. This is gonna make life a lot easier for me to go out sit on brush piles or Just angle to banks and not having to adjust my trolling motor downsides It's slower. It is a slower motor than the trolling motor itself So for bass fishing there may be some disadvantages with it for crappie I see all the advantage there. These have become popular over the past year They've been kind of hard to get but when my trolling motor broke at a lake earlier this season I was getting it repaired at this place called Texas boat works and the guy Aaron that runs the place was fixing my trolling motor and I Saw this motorized turret. I said man I've been seeing those is there can you get your hands on one of those? Can you put them on my boat and he was able to get one fairly fast for me and Install it on the silver bullet and it was it's actually so big now my whole trolling motor system that I had to Get the cover adjusted the cover would not even fit on there. So Texas boat works. They hooked me up with Redoing the cover and adding the Doppler 9000 to this thing so let's get out there on the water and I'll show you guys what this is how it works And yes, we are going to snatch some fish with this thing. All right guys. So this is the unit right here. This is the This is the right height makes this one See here turret T 20 and this right here is the life scope Mounted on the turret and then there's a separate foot pedal right here. So when I press these buttons By the way that right there just holding that with my finger It's probably about a hundred and twenty five degrees that is scorching scorching hot And that is basically how it works, but in order to get this on here I've got a lot going on here because I've got the 360 So that is on an extra bracket and then we've got an extra bracket for The the right height the Doppler 9000. So this thing is It's got a lot going on. It's hefty to say the least now unfortunately when I went up to the Great Lakes I wasn't even able to to utilize this I never even turned on my life scope because I was sight fishing basically 100% of the time bed fishing for small mouth By the way, those videos are going to be on our Guganswad channel. We do a northern dangle every year. It's so much fun, but I didn't get to utilize that this being back in Texas 114 degrees outside fish moving offshore getting on the brush piles and just suspended and doing weird summer fish things This should work really well. So I got the crappie poles. We're gonna rig up some crappie stuff Maybe you can get get a few bass who knows, but I can't wait to try this out on the water All right boys Hotter than Satan's Tane out here. I can't wait We want to be prepared with that Okay, so Troll motor down Live scope on got a little bit of an orientation issue happening here. See if it fixes itself There goes. Well What's it wanting to do here it's not wanting to Orient right Try that again if I slam it in there. So what's crazy? All right, so I just identified the pile Turn the troll motor 180 degrees Start going backwards. I'm still on it still on it. So now You need to rotate it Okay, so right here's the pilots. It's actually behind me so the turret The turret is facing a different direction That's how it moves. I still haven't determined whether I don't know what's for is it the Is that little arrow or is it like the beam the wide part is? Okay, spotlight ten feet out The beam the arrow The skinny part is what is facing At first I thought it was like the wide part like being the beam, but When you think about it life scopes not really a wide Beam, it's really really narrow. So okay, we got that figured out. Let's grab ourselves Jig will start with a heavy one. I'm going I've got two rigged on I've got an eighth ounce and I've got a 16th ounce So this is the the eighth ounce fishing It's about 12 to 15 feet of water There goes my jig All right, I'm starting to get the hang of this now Got one guy right on top. Oh, this is so dialed that we're about to get spanky mcdoodled here Just got a bite. Oh Goodness still got him on real exploded and there we go within Let's say five minutes of use We have the first crappie. This one has a Little nose damage. I'm gonna guess he's been caught before and returned things gonna be a thousand degrees. Sorry buddy Put it in the water cool it off See if you make the cut. Oh Man, you're just just a hair under Mostly just tiny fish on this one guys. So I'm gonna pull up head to another spot All right, we got a new pile here. I don't know who planted this, but thank you It's a fresh one Still still has got a lot of the leaves and stuff on it I don't really see A lot of establishment here a lot of big fish, but there's definitely a lot of bait So I'm assuming that there's gonna be some, you know some fish get on this eventually But just to just to kind of show you guys the Doppler 9000 here So I'm gonna hold this in my hand so you guys can kind of see it real time But as I move this turret we're spot locked right now Spotlock As I move this turret You'll be able to see Or the pile So you can really line things up Even though the boat's moving around shifting you make your little little micro adjustments with this That is awesome. And it allows you like once you find a good spot You can kind of just you can scan around it without having to move your trolling motor and Maybe you'll find something else, you know really close to it, but but really it's it's for this right here It's little micro dials like boop Boop. Oh, yeah, there it is there's the whole meat of it instead of Going back and forth with the trolling motor and maybe you get off off the spot a little bit You're having to do a little guesswork Which is which is fine. You can totally do that. This is just It's the lazy man's way of doing it. Oh, that's a bigger fish moving in there right now for sure Bigger fish. I don't know if that's a bass or what? He just moved in there. Oh Something big is coming over to it. There he is So that one. Oh god was a bass Saw him come over to it and grab it Already got him coming up to it. He must be tiny. Got him. I don't know what it is. Oh, it's crappie Little guy, I'm sorry you had to reach the surface of my deck surface my boat about like the sun Little guy they kind of blend in with the leaves those fresh leaves When you throw down there, and you'll just see him come out of it Not very big and not very Ticed there's the jig falling very slowly. We've reached the leaves Big ball bait big ball bait came in there. Look at that. Something's flushing that Something just flushed everything out of there. Wow. That was insane I'm just idling points guys. It's all I'm doing idling points looking for piles Typical summer stuff Ding-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling Dinner time. All right now it's time to use Use a little a little scanning action a little Doppler action for some white bass. They're just Covering up the bottom right now I'm monitoring the school The Doppler unit just got hit God, there's so many Look at them. Just rapid fire down there They're attacking that spoon. It's not connecting. That is incredible Got many you're just going after it Not eating it though on the bottom. Gotcha Little bud scan Just to the left now The herd is migrating hard. Look at that Look at that. Wow There we go. Oh, geez see the line just flinching up. That is so fun Yeah, buddy Little better. Oh, yeah good Those are eater babies right there That is a fun fight right there. I have got to get my daughter out here catching these things Where'd Joe go? scan left Scan right just moving just a hair Goodness, this is something big This is probably a large mouth Yep, coming up the jump Big ol' largey mouth. Oh my goodness. Look at you eating. Oh, he broke my line God That gummit Man, I was about a four pounder Was not expected that I had six pound line on here from drop shotting in Michigan Forgot forgot that we were back in Texas Where you never know? You're gonna get into a big largey There go a Change up a little bit here We fish a reaction rod I really like fishing a spinning rod for spoons because when you're looking at them on the graph like I'm doing You can get it down to them so fast You know instead of You know opening You know just big cast or versus spinning you open the bail I get down it gets down there really fast You got one more of these prototype jigging spoons. I hope it I'll lose this one That was a little heavier Scan left scanning Where do I cast? Right there right there is where I cast I'm here, bud. There's some good ones here Baggins look at that school. Oh I got a school attacking this one Look at the school. Let's come off the bottom after this Just going crazy over it It just seems like they eat it a lot better closer to the bottom though. I'm gonna let it sink to the bottom Oh, yeah big Thrusty Bring him the whole entire school. Look at that giant school of him. Holy moly Baggins these are fun Fun size right here if my daughter wasn't oh, look at this. Look at the mud on this fish See their shad poop or mud that's probably poop if my daughter wasn't in uh Gym class and swimming today. It wasn't worn out. I would think I would get her out here right now All right back at the tree house harsh sun in the face sun's going down right now But final thoughts on the Doppler 9000 I'm about it. I'm a hundred percent about it guys I mean it for bass for offshore fishing bass. It's fantastic. I mean just just Lying it up with those fish on those brush piles. Just keep it locked on them. It's really awesome The disadvantage is the speed. I mean you're just not getting the speed to quickly Uh go down a bank and look but another thing that I really like is being able to go down a bank And then 45 this thing. So you're just you're just looking at the bank where you're going to be casting As you're keeping the troll motor straight not having to just constantly scan and look to the side So that's the big thing. I can't really see the air of that well and speed. That's a factor if I could make Some upgrades to this thing. It would be like a two-motor drive system where you have a high speed and low speed Beyond that just go ocular, you know just Get a button to stop when you want to stop Moving the turret with your face. I don't know guys. When is it too much? When does it become too much? Let me know in the comments Should we cut it off right now or should we just keep going when the fish just have nowhere to hide? Maybe one day they're all they'll all revert back to like going in the super shallow cover year-round living in like Two feet of water just to get away from the pains. I don't know. Let me know in the comments I'm enjoying catching them with it right now. So I can't knock it and special thanks to erin over at texas boat works for installing this bad boy and he had someone Locally do the do the boat cover. So it's it all fits really nicely I took the whole thing up to uh to michigan with the adjusted cover. It's really good. So If you want to get one of these put on there Or you just want like special works on your electronics Uh, you can hit them up and thank you guys as always for hanging with me on the water and here at the tree house We'll be back out there soon and the great outdoors. God bless you godspeed. We'll see you soon
