  • Ive been getting a lot of questions about my electronics setup, so I figured it was time we went over it again. We'll talk SideScan, Downscan, Active Target, everything you need to know. We'll catch a few fish in the process. Thanks for watching!

    I know on older lowrance you could adjust the ping speed, which gave a clearer picture, more detail.. on humminbird, ping speed and scroll speed are linked.. search thru your settings and see if you can find ping speed, if u can, crank it up. envision an artist painting a picture as hes walking past it,, the faster he can paint, the more detail he will get..

    • @BrandonLesterFishing
      @BrandonLesterFishing  6 месяцев назад

      I use the foot buttons. Mount them where they are easy to get to so you can make little adjustments left and right as needed. That’s the easiest way I’ve found. Thanks for watching

    Not sure if you knew it or not but the first crappie you caught was a magnolia crappie with the stripe down its back. I noticed it when you weighed it.

    • @BrandonLesterFishing
      @BrandonLesterFishing  6 месяцев назад

      We call them black nose around here. Probably 40-50% of the crappie we catch are them. Fun to catch and fight like crazy.

    Your images are so clear! Do you mount your rear transducer at an upward angle to help keep it level while idling?

    • @BrandonLesterFishing
      @BrandonLesterFishing  6 месяцев назад

      It’s tilted up just a little but I think it has a lot more to do with it being mounted in the right spot and all your wiring being installed correctly. Big wire and dedicated power equals a clear picture.

      Start with what your confident in and works most for you. If they won’t bite that then start playing with size, color, and rate of fall. Thanks for watching.

      I run all my electronics on a single 100ah impulse lithium battery. Never had an issue and still have 70% battery life after a long day of fishing. On my trolling batteries I run two 40AH 36volt impulse lithiums in parallel. Never an issue there either

But I’ll never look back now. Impulse Lithium has a 10yr warranty also and are a great, family owned company.

    Do you prefer the ultrex over the ghost?

    • @BrandonLesterFishing
      @BrandonLesterFishing  6 месяцев назад +1

      I do. I find it easier to stay lined up when using active target (when using the transducer on the shaft) with the ultrex. The ghost is a better motor for shallow water power fishing though. It’s stronger and quieter than the ultrex. Both are great motors but the ultrex works for me and I’m going to stick with it for now. Thanks for watching!
