Thank you so much for all you help with settings. I have watched about every video you have in set ups. Has help me a lot I. Understanding what I need to do. Keep up the great videos.
This is a truly useful, incredible series of tutorials. I just bought a new Helix 10 G2 and have watched a number of videos, but this is BY FAR the most informative. THANK YOU!!!
Thank you and I'm so glad they helped.
I have this whole series in a separate playlist saved....that way when I get one I'm set to get on them slabs like Jessie and the Mrs....And yes sir First up in here on a Saturday night...Always glad to see you brother.👍👍👍🔨🔨🔨
HEY MY BROTHER!! I don't think you'll need a fish finder, you can smell them critters. lol Thanks for the support.
Great video and a lot of great information 👍
Came across you're channel today. AMD it's awesome. Thank you for sharing this great info
You have the clearest explained videos I have watched, (great for new guys like me) keep up the good work!
Thank you sir.
Good Information. Its good to see what you do while your on the water. Thanks for the information again.
Leslie Thomas ...Thank you sir. And thank you for watching and commenting.
Thanks for this video. Great tips. I didn't know about the check mark short cut.
Ha ha, right away a great tip. I had no idea about the check mark shortcut! Great info as usual, great series! You should make it a playlist on your channel if you haven’t already.
EatnLunch Fishing ....Hmmmm, playlist ya say(?). Gonna have to figure out how to do that. It would be nice to have them all grouped together for easy access.
Just found your channel. I don’t fish for crappie. I’m a cat fisherman I really enjoyed the helix videos you do a good job explaining the unit. Look forward to watching some more.
Great video's, they will help me learn the Helix 9 quickly. Thank you!
Subscribed!
Awesome video. Love the tips- easy to follow. Will be using on my new Helix units!
I would like to say thank you very much for watching my videos I wish I could answer your other comments but I just had major neck surgery and it's just now getting some feeling and movement in my arms I'm doing this through speak the voice thing on this but I would really like to thank you for watching and commenting
Good tutorial, good stuff.
Great video,looking forward to your SI tips.
David Klinger ....Thank you sir!
Great lesson Sir!!!
GREAT Hummingbird Stuff - Subscribed
Thank you sir. Hope it helped.
Great video!
Straight forward!
Easy to follow!
I'm glad I ran across you!
I'm now a subscriber!
Thank you. We haven't put any videos out in the past couple years because medical problems have kept us off the water, but time to heal along with physical therapy, we are preparing to get back at it in a month or so. Again, thank you for subscribing and leaving a comment. May I ask what state you're in?
Great job sir. I continue to appreciate your efforts with these vids... very helpful! Thx, and God bless!
(Prayers for continued healing, as well!)
Hope you get out on the water soon.
Bryan Beavers .....Thank you Mr Beavers. And blessings to you as well. Ya been having any luck out on the water?
Not recently, but about 3 weeks ago during a warm spell.... the most spectacular day I've ever had (quality wise.) I hope to top that day sometime soon.
Thanks you so much for this!! I'm Soooooooo Subscribing!!!
Thank you. Just so you know, medical problems have kept me off the water and so no videos since last year. I just had my second neck surgery (C2-C7 backside [first surgery C3-C6 frontside last year]) last week but I do plan on getting back out and getting some new vids going as soon as possible. Stop than toy for the subscription. You in Texas or? I love taking subscribers out when I can.
I have just subscribe to you thinks .good info just got a Garman stryker four. My first one ever now learning how to use it . All information needed good video you explained it good looking forward to more videos think you so much 👍🏻
Thank you for subscribing
It took a couple outings with my Lowrance before I started figuring out the 2d , still need to fiddle with down image a little more! Awesome work and great video!
Thank you. I didn't get a chance to come watch more of your vids today, but first chance I get, I'm in there.
No worries, Just glad we are all working together moving forward! Have a great evening my Friend!
Good video
Just found your channel! Subbed..
You explain things very well, I like it !
Trying to find the video about screenshots and waypoints too.
Thanks !
Thank you sir.
Thank You for taking the time to make these videos. It is really helping me. What program are you using to view you photo. I assume you are on your computer
No special program. The pics are on the xd card. Just remove the card from your unit and place in a card reader and your computer will recognize the pics as jpegs. Video is a different story. Computer will not recognize a recorded video off a unit. There is a way to download a video, but I quit trying to do it. Now I just record straight from the unit screen with a camcorder if I need to show a video I've recorded out on the water.
Bro I just finished watching this and I cannot wait to get that helix!!!...Do you think the mega is worth the money? The way it looks I will either get a helix 12 without mega or a helix 10 with mega.. What's your opinion Brotha?? By the way this was an awesome video Bro!!!!
I love Granger lake, I like going up In Willis creek.
One day if I ever make it back out there, hopefully you can show me around. Only been there once and that was for that crappie tourney. Nice lake though.
Please do a video on 2d with an explanation of what fish verses brush looks like
Yes sir, good footage and info...I see you don't use your sharpness but I use mine to help those fish pop... it's not good if I'm lookn for purdy pichers but it really brings those fish out in brush piles.... totally agree there's no set settings for the sensitivity and contrasts....👍👍👍
I've tried using that sharpness and there's entirely to much going on with it even set on low. I myself do better with it off. Now fishing clear deeper water it might help to have on, but I normally don't fish more than 22' deep. Do you use it in shallow water? Or when do you turn the sharpness on?
Crappie Craze I almost always have it in low but do have to run the sensitivity lower than with the sharpness off....I am running tree core birds so that may be the reason it's workn for me....I usually don't fish in over 15' of water...
SK's CRAPPIE Catchn Adventures ....Oh, ok! Yes, when I had my core birds I too ran the sharpness in low. I'm running 2 Helix Megas now and there's just WAY to much sensitivity if you try to run the sharpness.
Crappie Craze Yes sir....I just haven't found a reason to update just yet....I have a few recordings of my units running that I might post soon.... I've played with a few helix units and there were only a couple color palette's that gave good readings with the sharpness in low.... if Minnkota ever fix their shaft to accept the cord from an external transducer I might upgrade all my electronics then.....
SK's CRAPPIE Catchn Adventures ....Yes sir, the transducer cable can be a pain. But there are brackets you can buy that take care of that problem. But they have to be put on just right or the cable can still get pinched when stowing.
I have the hummingbird helix 5
Hay Jess how about a little help? Could you please tell me why or for what reason would a person change frequencies on there unit?? I always thought the new mega cheap unit's should be run at the highest frequency. But if that was right then why would you need different frequency at all? Hay thanks I can't tell you how much you have been helping me out the all this graph stuff. Im an older guy and bought a new mega last year and have been struggling with it ever since. Thanks for all the help. Im here to learn. Thanks Again Jess.
elmo wanafish ...because sometimes there's to much information on the screen. It can be like having 2D Switchfire on or having the the sharpness on high. But in my side imagining video, which will be next, I will explain the frequencies and why using the 400kHz is better than any of the upper ones in a certain situation, and it has nothing to do with silt or algae. Hint, you can find brush piles easier using the 400 kHz. Great question!
Ok - I know this question has been asked several times. When do you throw your marker buoy? I read your response and I get it with one exception. I assume the transducer is on the back of the boat. So when a brush pile comes into view, wouldn't the back of the boat be either on top of what you just saw or just passed over it? Therefore, you would need to throw the marker behind the boat. Correct? Sorry if I'm asking a dumb question. FYI- I run a front steering boat. So I'm sitting 15+ feet in front of my back transducer.. I did learn some things from this video. I just purchased the Helix 7 with GPS and mega down imaging. I'm learning it still. Your video helped that learning. Thank you.
You are correct. A few variables depend on where you throw the buoy. Speed, size of BP, and in your case, where you're placement is in the boat.
If the full pile can be seen on the screen, you have gone past it and you need to toss the marker behind the boat. How far back depends on your speed and how far from the edge of the screen the pile is. What I mean by the full pile showing is, as you're looking at the screen and the pile starts coming into view and it comes completely into view, in other words, you can see black between the edge of the pile and the edge of the screen, then that black gap will let you know how far behind you the pile is. (I sure hope I'm not confusing you)
You, steering from the front will always throw the buoy behind you. How far back depends on the first two variables I mentioned.
99% of the time, the first buoy I toss is just for reference. I always use my trolling motor transducer to find the exact location of the BP to place a buoy about 5 feet in front of it with my boat facing into the wind. I never place the buoy directly on the BP. Always place it a few feet in front so you can fish all around the edges of the pile as well as directly in it.
Thank you for asking. And I thank you for letting me know my video has helped a little.
Crappie Craze - thanks for the reply. No confusion here. Great job explaining it. I’m up a little higher on the learning curve because of your explanation. Thanks for that. Take care.
I know my lake and I know where the fish are. I know where the creek is and where the structure is. I haven't used sonar in 10 years and I don't have a need for them. Frankly I find them complicated to understand.
Like you, I fished for years without sonar. I also caught fish. Then I decided to buy my first unit. I was clueless and had no idea what to do with it. Id turn it on and look at it, but had no idea what I was looking at. I didn't know how to set it up. Nothing. When I bought this boat and got a 798hd unit, I started watching vids trying to learn. Problem is, I usually walked away more confused than I was before I watched the vid. I just kept plugging away at it and started figuring it out. So with my vids I try to break it down so that I would have understood when I was first starting out. Now I will say, sonar will help you learn your lake faster and better. Without sonar, you are missing tons of structure that would yield you more fish. And if you ever decided to add a little spice to your life and venture out to new waters, sonar would make those experiences a lot more memorable by putting you on fish a lot faster. It just takes a little want too, to learn sonar. But if you'd rather not use it, thats up to you.
@@CrappieCraze thank you for your tips and share of your wisdom. I am open to learn. I will be in the market for a new boat soon. I can't imagine not buying electronics with a new boat. I catch lots of crappie on my lake without electronics. But if I was to venture off my lake, I would be at a tremendous disadvantage.
Just found your channel and subbed right away,I have the helix5 di with GPS, my question is can I use the simulation mode and adjust my settings here at the house so it'll be ready for when I go to the lake ?
The only way I have found to keep the settings is to hookup the transducer. Any transducer should work as long as it's a hummingbird ducer.
@@CrappieCraze yes sir it's already installed on my boat just wondering if I could adjust the settings using the simulation mode out of the water ,thanks
Crappie Craze can you tell me when do I throw my marker bouy is it when we 1st see the structure come on the screen then throw thank you for your knowledge and insight God Bless
Yes, as soon as you see the structure appear on the edge of your screen, drop your marker. If you're going 1-2 or even 3 mph, drop it right next to where you're sitting, but any faster, up to 5 mph, toss it right to the back of the boat. Over 5mph toss it well behind the boat, but at that speed, getting a good buoy mark will be very difficult.
3 comments down, Joseph Auld asked the same question. I wrote a pretty lengthy explanation in my comment to him. Please have a look and let me know of that helps you any. Thanks for question.
@@CrappieCraze thank you so much for your quick reply really learned a lot
Those clear images in simulation mode going by while you are showing your settings is that possible to get that clear of images in regular mode? I have tried every setting, leveled my transducer and I can't get images near that clear. Is there a different transducer that I can buy other than the one that came with my Helix? (Helix 7 SI/DI/Sonar G2 N. No mega imaging)
Yes it is but it has to be on a very calm day with no waves bounces the boat around. And your boat speed and sonar screen speed have to be very slow.
I don’t have a helix mega I have a helix 7 with Di/Si can you do a video on set up or at least showing some tips on being able to tell what fish are on smaller screen as I really can’t afford the larger units at this time or do you have a video already out on this?
On a smaller screen, all you have to do is speed the scroll on your screen up faster than the boat speed. That stretches the pic out so you can see the structure and fish better. Judy keep your boat speed down a slow a possible. It will look the same as on a bigger screen. Not as detailed, but pretty much the same
Thank you for the tip you’re videos are great , ty for taking time for us fishermen
@@gregorygoss8485... Thank you and thank you for taking the time to watch my videos. Because of medical reasons, I haven't been able to fish in over a year, but hopefully I'll be able to hold off any future surgeries to get back out on the water this coming Spring.
Crappie Craze sorry to hear as I’m also having some medical issues. I want to get good at my helix 7 any other pointers I’d appreciate
Hey..great video..just found this...im new to fish finders i just purchased the humingbird piranhamax 4 di for my kayak...im having trouble understanding where the picture is to reference of my kayak and where to cast for a fish showing on the screen...i have the head in the middle of the kayak...thanks for helping me if you can
I do have a video that should help you. Here's the link...ruclips.net/video/yHGWShOdJOg/видео.html
Just noticed you said your unit is a di. So the sonar beam is not coming out of your unit is not round, it's a single thin beam that goes side to side. In one of my videos, I explain this.
May I ask how long you've been kayaking? If your just starting, I have to say, to me, kayaking is the one thing that can really put your mind and soul at ease. Getting out early in the morning on a river or large creek and just enjoying all that mother nature has to offer, is pure tranquility. I miss our kayaks.
Hey I live in northern Indiana fort Wayne it was warming up was hoping crappie was going to pre spawn where you can catch them on shore but the weather dropped big time like 20 degree at night will crappie wait to pre spawn or are they still on shore in 30-40 degree weather
That temperature drop will definitely push them back out into deeper water.
@@CrappieCraze when would you say crappie would start biting on shore in northern Indiana when it's been a really cold spring will the crappie have to just say screw it and pre spawn right now when the days are getting longer and weather is in 30-40 degree ? Sorry I can't find any info on when the crappie pre spawn and how they act in a mild spring lol
@@bluewidow9151..... I wouldn't think the crappie are spawning yet in northern Indiana. But yes, crappie can and will spawn deep, but you should find some shallow.
Lake waco? U fish whitney?
How did you transfer those images to your computer?
When you take a snapshot, it will be on your card, if you've installed a card. Just remove the card and install it in your computer. You will be able to download pics, but not any videos on the card.
Great informative video Sir. God bless you. Liked and subscribed. I have the Helix 7 SI,DI GPS GN 2. Trying to figure out how to get my navigation screen back to full screen. Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you.
Not quite sure how it's not in full screen unless it's in split screen(?). I'd have to see it and if not in split screen, try to recreate it on my sonar to see how to info it. If all else fails, you can reset the unit to factory settings. That'll put everything back to the way it was when you took it out of the box.
@@CrappieCraze yes it is in split screen Sir. I would like to view my mapping in full screen from my lake vu card. I tried to figure out on the lake without any luck. Evidently I have done something incorrectly. I will be checking my settings this weekend. Definitely in my viewing screens somewhere I suppose.
@@fuzzyfultz so your preset button is preset on the split screen. Easy fix. When you power on, just scroll through all your screens and when you get to the full screen navigation screen that you want stop and then push and hold the preset button that has the split screen on it. Then next time you press that preset button, it'll show it in full screen.
@@CrappieCraze thank you very much Sir.
I got a question about transducer, dose it have to be perfect level to get those good pictures? I have been on lakes where people tell me where a brush pile supposedly be , and I don’t see anything, any help please
I say no, it doesn't have to be perfectly level because it will never be perfectly level. You do want to get it as level as possible, but out on the water, it will never be perfectly level. You set it up on land to be level, but that's on land. Once you get your boat on the water, the weight distribution is always changing because you add water to 1 or 2 live wells, you change position while you're in the boat, you go by yourself or take someone with you, and each person you take weighs differently than the last person, the speed you are traveling. All these things and others will change the way the boat sits in the water which will change the angle of the transducer.
Crappie Craze thanks that makes a lot of sense 👍
How do you get the right angle
You just have to take different passes at it from different angles.
When I see a brush pile come on to my screen..do I throw my bouy out the back of my boat or.. the side of my boat??
If the brush pile is just coming into view on the edge of your screen, then simply drop the buoy next to you. If the full pile can be seen already but is still at the edge of the screen, then toss the buoy directly behind the boat. The further the pile is away from the edge of the screen, the further you'll need to toss the buoy behind the boat. The ideal speed for me when marking a pile with a buoy is 3mph or less. 5mph or faster, then 99 percent of the time you'll need to toss it behind the boat unless it's a huge pile. I hope I haven't confused you and you asked a great question. I know i had a lot of trouble figuring this out myself. Just remember, keep your speed slow and if the full pile isn't seen on the screen, then simply drop the buoy next to you. If you can see the whole pile on screen, then toss the buoy behind the boat. Also, if possible, always have the nose of the boat into the wind. It's so much easier staying on your pile with the wind in your face.
This guy sounds a little bit like meat wad from aqua teen hunger force
But is he handsome? 😎😂😂😂
I can't get how to read these or how to use one I want to get one to help find fish in my kayak but pointless cause I don't know how to use it lol
I've got other videos to help with that. I'm planning on putting out more videos in ther near future.
Both my wife and I miss our kayaks.
