- I've had a lot of people ask me about various settings on my Humminbird Helix Mega and how those settings help me locate big catfish. In todays video I will walk you through all my settings I use to find and catch those river monsters.

Great info Josh!
Excellent "How to" Video - This video help me a lot to learn the setting on my Helix 7. Thank you!!
Ed Romero glad I could help!
Awesome video of how to setup and understand your fish finder!! I actually have a Lowrance, however, the settings are similar and I now understand some of what I've been looking at!! Thanks brother!!
K&B Anglers it should have similar settings they just are named something else I would imagine I’ve never had a lowrance.
Just got your channel from Steve Douglas catfish dude. Pretty awesome you guys help me out like that weighing that fish! Being cool like that gained me as a subscriber! Good luck on the water guys!
Thank you I hope you enjoy the channel!
Great video thanks you taken the time to make it.
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..
Retired Old Sarge thank you that means a lot and thank you for your service. Glad I could be some assistance.
Awesome Video Josh! It helped me sir.
Thanks for the video out of all the how to videos I've seen you explained it the best far better than anyone has I live close to pickwick lake and trying to get my helix 7 dialed in you have helped me tremendously thanks so much

Lovin' the channel! Pretty cool you got an Iowa guy catching fish with ya too!
We’re trying to get that channel cat outta him lol
Haha thatll take some time. Johnny Coleman told me he knows his way around flathead fishing tho!
Awesome great explanation I learned more from this video then any video i saw so far thanks for posting. I have a question are you running a seaark procat 200 if so what is the largest size hummingbird helix you can mount without obstructing your vision.
Great vid

Stephen Hair glad to help
Just subbed y’all great video brother!!!!
Thank you! Hope you find the channel helpful.
Nice explanation. Could you tell me please witch gen of mega si? My G3N Mega 9 dont have that menu of 83Khz.
Great tutorial.
Hope it helped
What do you see on the HBird for good bait fish to catch/net?
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.
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.
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
Would these work for a older Humminbird 998 unit?
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.
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
CatFish 911 the next video will be better. I plan on redoing this I wasn’t aware of the glare until I starting importing video to my computer
great... Thanks I will be watching for it... I was trying to see what I could but it was hard at times.. .But I Really liked the info you put out and it helped me a lot as I am n the learning and research part of it.
We’re did u get the mounting bracket
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.
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.
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
Mud Cat we’ve definitely wanted to get up there and fish Kerr and gaston
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
Can you please tell me what color palette you are using?
Tony Harvey this is pallet 6
What river you in?
Will some of these settings b the same for other brands ie: say Garmin or lowrance?
WAR BROTHER THE RIVER MAN some setting will I’m not very familiar with those units so I don’t want to give you and bad info. However the imaging side of things won’t be able to reach the quality since the birds came out with mega.
@@BackwoodsCatfishing right on ty brother
Do you run a separate transducer for your 2d sonar?
No I don’t it’s the factory transducer
I have the helix mega 12 and the 2d sonar I cant change it to 83khz it dont give me that option.
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.
Great video. Is this the mega Di or Si model?
It’s the Helix 10 G2N SI
Backwoods Catfishing , thanks man. Appreciate your videos!
What unit is that
What part of alabama you from
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
My side imaging works well
Why is the screen and ground Moving on a fishfinder!? I never understood this!
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.
Very informative video, thanks.
Yes I didn’t realize the glare was that bad when I was filming. When I come back to this it’s gonna be much better
What humminbird helix is your unit?
Tony Harvey that’s a helix 10 mega
Also found you from Steve D video
D Tbone thanks for watching hopefully you’ll learn something here
Why do you turn off chirp on sonar? I have a helix 12 mega so kind of interested in the benefits.
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.
@@BackwoodsCatfishing gotya thanks for the reply. I'm in process of getting this 12 worked out due to humminbirds 1.9 update. Will give it a try. Thanks
Great video. thanks for sharing. This video DOES NOT pop up when we search for mega imaging settings or hummingbird mega imaging etc. i think you should change the name /title of the video to simply hummingbird mega imaging or other easy to search names so more people could watch this video and learn from you. thank you again for sharing with us.
Thanks for letting me know. The key words must not be working. I will modify the name!
How do you know that it is catfish and what are they bitting
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.
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?
It depends on what mode your in. Down imaging is directly underneath the boat. Side imaging is either side of the boat
Can I do this to my helix 12 gen one
Yes you can only thing you won’t have on that model is mega
What sonar is that
That’s a helix 10 mega, a solix video will be released soon
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
Sorry had to give you a thumbs down. You present yourself as a salesman for Hummingbird.
Bobby Noname definitely not, they are not even a sponsor for us.
What kind of boat do you have ?
Steve Ramer it’s a G3 Sportsman 200
