I’ve been wondering how to do this so Thank you for the information. Keep videos like this coming.

This was the best vid I’ve seen really fish with a graft,not just doing settling which is good as well. Merry Christmas

Thank You so much for this video. Showing the setup, the screen and fishing at the same time really helps me interpret what we are seeing on the screen. Merry Christmas and Safe Travels during the holidays.

you did an outstanding job of explaining this process. i now u understand what to look for and how to do this! thank you 🙏

That was awesome!!! Cant wait for warm weather to try that out.

Merry Christmas Mr Doug and thank you for all your help setting up my new graphs on my boat this fall.

Nice going Doug, that's what I'm talking about " Hummingbird " can do it too! I am just getting the hang of this way of fishing. Thanks a million man!

Been doing for years all the way back to Matrix 97 I've been vertical fishing with. Just about any Humminbird can do this!

That was fun to watch!! Nice to know how you set up your unit. Thanks for sharing this!! Merry Christmas my friend!!!

Glad I could help and hope you enjoy more videos in the future.

In Minnesota, I catch crappies in that depth just after ice out and in the fall. Next time I will set my depth range like you did there. Sometimes I see my jig and sometimes I don't. Now I think I know how to see my jig every time. In the warmer months maybe I'll see if the bass or even walleyes are down in those depths. Deepest part of my lake is 84 feet. Depths more like 30's and 40s are more realistic for fishing.

Definitely the best video game fishing video I have seen so far! Just realistic and clear! I only saw videos catching fishes all the time, which upset me a lot as I thought I was doing something wrong or I misinterpreted the fishfinder. But your story told me and confirmed me I was seeing fishing and scared the fish anyway lol. Thanks! I got my confidence back and will give it another try. Just a quick question: I usually fish from kayak. Will it be too late to drop bait when I see the fish on graph, since the kayak always drifts a bit?

What the heck.... Thanks for the invite Dougie!

Hi Doug Vahrenberg We must bite the grass. Garmin has come with Garmin panoptix livescope. It looks fantastic. I have always used Humminbird and have ordered the new Solix G2 but it does not come to Denmark until February But has now also bought Garmin panoptix livescope and is going to mount in the boat.

Look at the limited coverage area. And how you have to control where it looks with the trolling motor. I was in a boat with it looks cool but day I seen it was windy and hard to stay on where the fish where at. Why I prefer 360 Imaging. I can see so much more.

Is your helix 10 a mega imaging? I have a helix 9 g2n running through the transducer on my ultrex. It keeps reading double bottoms. Is there a fix for it? Thanks been watching your videos for years now.

Great video! I have a Helix 7 Si on the bow, all i have right now is 2D because the imaging has went out....thanks for sharing you settings....If you had set your depth range to 80' would that have opened up your picture even more?.

@DougVahrenberg

You can adjust to what ever level works best for you. the smaller the coverage area the larger the data. Just depends on how deep the fish are and what you need to see

Hey Doug, great video! It didn't look like you varied your jigging speed or vertical height with the spoon to entice a bite. Do the fish look for different presentations when vertical fishing, or are you always using a consistent jigging action?

@DougVahrenberg

5 жыл бұрын

I vary from time to time height, speed reel up, drop farther to get them to react. Most of these it seemed like they like more consistent movements. But lots of little things I do to get them bite.

Doug around the 7:40 mark why did it look like there was a gaps on the birds screen like it was paused, were you changing frequencies on the transducer or was it just gaps in the timber. I learn alot from your videos keep teaching. Thanks.

What frequency do you run? Or is it not selectable on the G3. How do you keep the lure in the cone with that much wind? Spotlock? You did not mention using jigging mode Ty

@DougVahrenberg

5 жыл бұрын

Wind makes it difficult...spot lock helps a bunch or lots of practice or use a heavier weight lure to drop faster to see quickly and catch quickly before the wind blows you away.

Doug. My question has nothing to do with this video but I have a minn Kota powerdrive with ipilot. Why can’t you get the i-Pilot link for a powerdrive system. And can you use the i-Pilot link remote on the i-Pilot. Thanks

I have two 988's on my boat right now and this winter i wanted to pull them off and put two helix 10s on it. Should i do the mega chirp si at the console and mega chirp di up front? Or how would you reccomend me setting my boat up?

Hi I have helix 9 g2n mega si an I have had for a while but have only had it out for 4 maybe 5 times for me an for the life of me I can do not understand it yesterday it was jumping depth from 7ft to 90 an anywhere in between also it looked like it had two bottoms like one a ten ft an then a very hard return an 20 something ft also my 2d sonar will show fish but my down very seldom does please help

I’m getting a helix g3n mega. What trolling motor transducer do I get so I can do this?

Any 2D Transducer can do this. It's not the transducer but placing the bait in the coverage area of the sonar that is most important.

HELIX 5di chirp gps g2. The color palette wich you recommend me. 1 or 5

I've caught them down to 90' and they been fine. If keeping to weigh in I fizz them but returning them to the water they will equalize the air bladder is what fisheries biologists tell me
