Great info Josh!

Excellent Information on your Video. I have been so busy playing games with the military for the past 33 years and wife is getting ready to retire in the UN LIKED STATE OF CALIFORNIA and we are Moving to Texas hopefully within the next 3 months. I do not have a fish finder or a boat and never have had one, BUT... I am moving to Texas within hopefully the next 100 days and I still have to tell the wife what she is getting me for Christmas. ( A 1448 Jon Boat and a few toys to go with it) I have been doing research and trying to learn things in advance to help me decide what to Get and how to play with it after I get it. Your video is really helping me lean what things look like etc... Thanks for the help and the easy to understand and follow instructions... The best video so far I have found when it comes to using a Fish Finder... I have subscribed..

Very useful for me - thanks. U so young but know much more than me. I have same exact 10” helix but gen 1. I just use it to find ledges and anchor there blind. My settings must be very wrong, i rarely see big fish. And i never see nice arches.

@BackwoodsCatfishing

Double check that your frequency is set to how mine is. You can get arch’s my sonar settings are the exact same as the gen 1

Any tips for bass? I've never seen a single arch on my mega 10 + and it's very irritating with the money spent. Lol. My oldschool 10 year old lorwrance finds me more fish. Thanks for the help.

What do you see on the HBird for good bait fish to catch/net?

Would these work for a older Humminbird 998 unit?

Phenomenal video... a good refresher for me. i.e. clear/max mode. Can't wait for the solix video. Get'er done...! So hitting the check mark allows you to change frequencies quickly vs in the menus? Didnt know that.

I am learning a lot from you just would be much better if the sun glare wasnt so bad... but still is better then any others I have found.. Thank You

This would have been better at night hard to see with glair and brown color. Also would have been nice to put the sun in front so it was not making screen unseeable. This was great info and explanation just wish it was more visible with explanation.

We’re did u get the mounting bracket

Hey bud awesome videos. I'd like to invite you to come to NC some time man we hold a lot of tournaments on the yadkin river chain and pull out some hogs. Plenty of big fish in lakes and good crowd to fish with. If you would like get with me and I will send you a flyer for next years tournament series

Yes ,fall time the Kerr will have a tournament called fall brawl and in the winter time it's called the ice bowl. Big turn out maybe see you there this year

What unit is that

I do not have a fish finder, or even a boat yet but still researching... Do you have to pay extra for GPS on a fish finder and for maps? Maybe I am not using the right terminology But like if I want to mark a spot to come back to or if I want to know exactly were I am on GPS is that a extra charge or is it included with the fish finders. I am still researching on what to get for later.

@BackwoodsCatfishing

CatFish 911 when you buy a unit you’ll need a navionics card or lake master card for it. Lake master only works for humminbird units. After that there’s no more cost, no monthly fees if that’s what you mean.

Why is the screen and ground Moving on a fishfinder!? I never understood this!

I have a hummingbird 1199 and I have changed settings a hundred times and I can not see arches for real it is not my first unit I had a 597 and saw a few fish with it can u help me how 2 set 1199 di si

Will some of these settings b the same for other brands ie: say Garmin or lowrance?

Great video. thanks for sharing.

With your colors I could not really see much on the SI. Probably just the lighting or glare. Really just looked black with the white distance lines. Have not decided yet if I want to go with Humminbird or Lowrance. leaning toward the Lowrance hook 2 tripleshot.

Jessie Barrington catfish on 2D sonar will have a 3/4 arch with a hard hit on the head because of the bone density. However we don’t know what they will eat until we try giving them some bait.

Do you run a separate transducer for your 2d sonar?

@BackwoodsCatfishing

You will need to go into settings (menu twice on any screen) go all the way over 2nd from right I think. In that column you’ll see a setting that says user mode. Depending on when you bought that unit it will say either advanced mode or custom mode. Turn that on. Then go to the bottom of that column and you’ll see chirp configuration. Select 2D and turn that off. Now your unit will read 200khz or 83khz.

Why do you turn off chirp on sonar? I have a helix 12 mega so kind of interested in the benefits.

@BackwoodsCatfishing

5 жыл бұрын

Jason I turn chirp off because with chirp I can’t see arch details. With catfish they display a very specific arch return. If I had that on I could mistake stripe, carp, or gar because they would all look similar.

That is why hummingbird has fish id, Take all the guess work out of it,

This is going to be the winner of the dumbest question but when your point out all the logs and rocks, where are these in relationship to the transducer?... 25 feet behind the boat? directly under the transducer? By the time one sees the image how far away is the boat?

@BackwoodsCatfishing

5 жыл бұрын

It depends on what mode your in. Down imaging is directly underneath the boat. Side imaging is either side of the boat

Humminbirds are great until something goes wrong with the unit, they will promise you the world and do nothing. I had the unit a couple months only, I sent the unit in for repair or replacement months ago, I guess I am out the money spent on it and will never see it again. So be careful what you buy and who you buy from.

All these guys that's spending big money on these fish finders gonna be pissed when this new federal law they trying to pass to make them illegal
