Love the videos man. Especially as you update with the newer versions. Man it’s all about the settings and messing with them as different parts of lake have different water as in clear or murky or weeds and sand bottom. So you always have to be adjusting. Sometimes it can be a headache so I’ve tried to leave it at the 12. Still learning frequencies and switching for different search styles and what fish I’m targeting and where

Appreciate the video, your video makes it so much easier to understand

Thank you, will do

I hear anglers using 2D sonar and mapping. What is mapping? Is it the map of the lake and split screen with 2D? Do you have a video on how to use both at the same time?

Thanks keep going 👍😀

What day settings work for a Gen 2

If I see something on my DI, what location will that be in relation to my boat? You say “cone”. Are all images from the transducer out and to the side immediately when I pass over/by things? I’m usually going about 3mph when looking for things.

I have a Helix 7 CHIRP MEGA SI GOPS G3. It’s my first fish Finder.

Whatever you ser on the right side of the screen is under the boat as you see it. As it scrolls over to the left side of the screen it's what you have already driver over.

Nothing changes Chirp is just a just a multi range of frequency. small numbers wide beam large or mega narrow beam. You can look up the numbers or i can help you

Can settings be chosen and kept in simulation mode?

@HumminbirdHelp

No once simulation mode is switched the settings will reset themselves. Once you change the settings on the water they will stay the same forever

He is wrong on this one. Most of the settings will stay. Does not reset. There are a few that do. I have great fun on the sim in the winter. Also not very good info on the beams Make this simple Wide is 3 to 1 meaning 10 ft of water 30 ft beam.Narrow beam is 1 to 1, 10 ft of water 10wide beam.

Why does HB show more blobs than traditional arches like other brands?

@HumminbirdHelp

Жыл бұрын

The advancement in technology over the years. The humminbirds are now shooting much bigger cones to see more of what's under the boat. The arches are created as a fish passes through the cone and the transducer pings the fish. With a smaller or narrow cone the highest part of the arch is when the fish is in the center of the cone and low spots are the fish on the edge of the cone or beam angle. With the wide cones and better frequency to get more detail the fish come back more natural and life like than the old arches

Do you always run it on clear mode?

@@HumminbirdHelp thanks for the reply. My lakes are pretty stained as well. I’m assuming it’s the sun causing it but when it’s a sunny day the returns get very busy on max mode, so I’ll switch to clear mode. On a cloudier day it seems like to me anyway I can get away with keeping it in max mode.

Wide is the largest beam Full less wide Narrow if the tightest beam Narrow gives best resolution or screen shot wide is a search mode not the most sharp picture Full is in the middle. Takes time to learn
