In general, the TI units are faster in response to inputs. This is seen when quickly switching between sonar, downscan, chart, and split screens czcams.com/users/postUgkxeAxH15LxhjGlg5-CRYqjTGTEH0tbY4vk recommend The Hook units will show some lag on button pushes and screen switching. The big ticket item though is maps. If you install a mapping card such as Navionics or the free C-Map Genesis which has a lot of map detail, then moving around the map with the cursor or when running down the lake can lag significantly on the Hook units, but is seamless with the TI units.
Very well explained and helpful. I am learning a bunch. Just retired and getting back into fishing. Just got a boat and trying to figure out the fish finder. These videos help a lot. Thanks!
Thanks for the videos! Nothing better than having your pole willow over when that brush comes onto the screen. The 12ft acc crossover is a fish catching weapon.
Thanks for this video Davis. I was setting over a brush pile today and there was a bunch of crappie over it just like your screen. I'm going to check my settings and set them closer to yours so those crappie show up better. I run a spit screen of 2d and clear vue. Thanks again
I needed this video. I could see the things I'm doing wrong. I have the Garmin echo MAP CHIRP 43dv and need to learn how to use it better, so I can put my Bride on the fish.
Thanks for the tips buddy!! I do have a garmen fish finder I actually have two of them with one being the live scope unit!! But for someone that has never used a fish finder let alone even barely see one other then one on another boat!! They have become kinda tricky to use I think but I would just keep going back to bass pro where I baught both units and ask questions on the units!! Like the very first time I got my first unit I installed the intire thing myself on my 18’ flat bottom boat and then took it out and I could not hardly even see the screen at all so I would end up asking bass pro shops what I would need to adjust so I could actually see the screen!! But with bass pro being at least 45 minutes to an hour from me it can get old also!! The other things I would do would just mess around with buttons and see exactly what they can do on the screen this way has also helped me get a little bit more familiar with how to run the unit!! Awesome video buddy and thanks again for the tips on the unit!!
Here's an idea. How about heading up to a northern shield lake like Kabetogama. Large body of water, no brush piles like in the area lakes, and give it a shot during various times of the year. The lake has an abundance of large fish but due to the size of the lake its very difficult to locate them. I challenge you!
I mark waypoints with my Garmin Striker plus 9sv it's connected to a Garmin Striker plus 4 on the front of the boat that makes it much easier to get back to the waypoints
Hey Davis how about sharing your reasons for The jig weight selection and also how you work the jig over brush piles whether you cast it beyond... holding it above... sinking down into etc.Great show man! Keep it up 👍
Great Video , I have an Garmin 7 Vivid Plus CV ! I am always tweaking my settings, so right on the mark with this one ! Got a number of tweaks, that I will try ! Oh by the way , I always use Orange Crawfish as my color pallet ! Take Care and Be Safe
Hey, will you do a video on SI but not fish under the boat. Maybe fish 50’ out and how to different sizes of crappie? Anything out of that black zone and more in that gold zone
I've had tons of questions learning my garmin echomap. Don't have live scope but the side, down and traditional. Thanks for help with other settings. I'm on a big pontoon. I think I mounted my transducer too high on bracket. I'm not getting echos, but do see fish if I switch to fish symbol. It's weird. I think it needs to be a little below the pontoon bottom. I hate to orange. I like the grey or black white screen for downscan.
I do have a question ⁉️⁉️⁉️ can you do a video some time on finding structure with side vu , marking it and how you go to it once you have made the weigh point... most everyone shows how to mark it but now how they actually go to it ....thanks so much. Sid
So the Garman livescope is the gamechanger of crappie fishing ? I have the helix 9 si di now.. just watching all the people switching over to Garman. Love your videos.
The garmin 93sv is compatible with livescope. Its a 1k unit. Many are getting those because hummingbird does not have that capability. However they do have 360. But its just an image. Once the live 360 comes out it might change things again. The hummingbird units that work with 360 will work with 360 live.
Humminbird just released its mega live transducer which is the competitor to the Garmin Livescope. The mega live transducer is compatible with newer Humminbird units, but it may be hard to find a transducer in stock.
So the problem I have, having only a console screen is, finding them then fishing for them.. I have no livescope and no spot lock trolling motor lol. Very hard in deep open water
Will your setting suggestions that your showing for that Garmin devise in your videos whether it be downscan sidescan or traidtional sonar also work for the Garmin echomap 106sv?
Just curious... I have the exact same unit. How do you have "crawfish orange" instead of Amber...and an option to turn zoom off all together? Great video sir thank you.
No sure why the crawfish orange pallete isn't showing. there is an arrow (up and down) on the far right of the screen that shows multiple pages of pallets. that's the only thing i can think of. as for the zoom function, are you referring to the zoom in/out with the touch screen or a different option?
How do you tell the difference between crappie and white bass on down imaging? Also what do you do when youre on a school that looks to be crappie and they wont bite live minnows on jigheads? Do you switch jigheads? throw plastic? switch techniques say from vertical jigging to try and swim something through the school? leave to find another school or all of the above?
You never know for sure if it's a school of white or crappie. On the lake I filmed this video, there aren't any white bass. I start with a jig/plastic and switch to a hair jig if I can't get a bite. A slip bobber and minnow is the last option, and If I cant get a bite in that I move to another spot. I'll try this spot later in the day to see if the bite turns on.
Enjoy your vids. Although I can interpret down imaging I'm struggling with the term. If it is truly pinging straight down why do we see a side view of the structure? If you set up over a tree then a true image would show the top of tree but we get the side view.
It shows what's directly under the transducer . . . But what about the fish that are two or three feet to your left or right??? You pass right by them and never know they're there.
Down imaging will show a slightly larger area under the boat than 2d sonar. If the fish are outside of the beam below the boat, then you won't be able to see them on the screen. Unfortunately this is the limitation of 2d sonar and down imaging.
Dropping your marker buoy right on top of the school doesn't spook and cause them to scatter? I thought the weight and line sinking down through the school would spook them.
Thanks for the videos - getting into it and just picked up the Garmin 73 SV - when you are vertical jigging without a slip bobber do you normally count seconds to estimate your depth of the jig after cast? I dont have live scope or anything like that but I was wondering if you are just casting a 1/8 or 1/16 how you estimate when you are about 14-16 ft vs if you were only about 10ft - shallow depth seems easy enough but for 15ft plus I feel like im just guessing? Thanks alot!
@@FloppingCrappie yes I finally found them online last night that’s not gone work for us in Texas I read where yal build them in winter on ice or drag out on ice and let them sink when ice melts that’s cool but we don’t have such ice in Texas lol
@@slabslayer258 haha, not much ice in Texas, but I see guys with 5 gallon buckets and brush stuffed in there driving around and dropping them. It's pretty much the same principle, crappie love piles of wood
@@FloppingCrappie yes we drop brush ourselves we dropped 18 piles the week before spring break this year down here we don’t do the bucket thing no more we figure out a different route the crappie like better so far last 2 years it’s proven better minus natural submerged stumps etc that I have found that’s the best

Dude you are straight up teaching in these videos lately. No gimmicks, no bull corn, and I’m still leaning in. Good job sir
Thanks!

I'm glad the video helps!
Great sonar screenshots. I fish for stripers and bass, and have been seeing those types of schools and didn’t know what they were. Thanks.
Thanks for the videos! Nothing better than having your pole willow over when that brush comes onto the screen. The 12ft acc crossover is a fish catching weapon.
I love the 12ft!
You always do a fantastic job explaining everything.....no one else does that....thank you for what you do....
I appreciate that, thanks for watching!
That’s EXACTLY the info i need to keep learning please keep it up Screen shots and info are super
Glad it helped
Liking Garmin tunning, just got the same as yours and need all the help I can get . Thankyou 👍
Great tutorial. You break it down to it's lowest term, keeping it simple.
i like it thanks for the lesson i try the same technique boat traffic is rough when doing that style of fishing
Thanks for this video Davis. I was setting over a brush pile today and there was a bunch of crappie over it just like your screen. I'm going to check my settings and set them closer to yours so those crappie show up better. I run a spit screen of 2d and clear vue. Thanks again

I'll see if I can plan a trip up there this spring. Hopefully gas stays under $4/gal
THUMBS-UP!!!!!...I SHARED THIS TOO MY FACEBOOK AND A COUPLE OF MY FISHING BUDDIES...GOOD INFO
Great Info thanks, also I left a message on your recent 2D sonar video. Hope you make a video on marking and returning to waypoints. Thanks again
I did see that comment and I'm filming a video today talking about marking a waypoint and trolling back to that location.
Thank You so much, very much appreciated. 👍

Good information! Thanks

Hey, will you do a video on SI but not fish under the boat. Maybe fish 50’ out and how to different sizes of crappie? Anything out of that black zone and more in that gold zone
Ya, I can film a video like that. Unfortunately all out lakes upnorth are frozen right right now. So this video will have to wait until spring
Thank you for the lesson!
You're welcome

Great show, Kentucky
I just subscibed. Looks like I'm way late to the party but really enjoying all the fishing electronics related vids
Are you able to make a video about how to set up on a way point once you've marked it? I have trouble with getting ON the spot once I have marked it
I'm filming that video tonight, hopefully it will be posted within a few days.
I do have a question ⁉️⁉️⁉️ can you do a video some time on finding structure with side vu , marking it and how you go to it once you have made the weigh point... most everyone shows how to mark it but now how they actually go to it ....thanks so much.

Yep, I'm filming that video today! Thanks for the video idea!
Super good to learn these!!! Thanks!

What's the difference between white bass from crappie
schools on down imaging? How do you tell the difference?

Glad it helps!
How would you compare Garmin striker 7sv vs hummingbird helix mega view?
This is a good video on finding crappie. I think itd the exact same sonar as mine.
Helped a lot
Super helpful
Thanks
👍

Cnt wait for side scan if there isn't one already.
Just filmed the side imaging video yesterday, planning on posting it Sunday
Great video
Good stuff brother!!!
Another good vid man👍
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it
How is the side imagining compared to that hummingbird?
Once you screen shot it, how do you find it in your Garmin?
I'm not sure if you can views it in the settings function or not. I normally take the SD card out and use my laptop
Do you prefer Garmin or Humminbird? I see you are using Garmin, just curious
Dropping your marker buoy right on top of the school doesn't spook and cause them to scatter? I thought the weight and line sinking down through the school would spook them.

I know 1/32 ounce drops 1 ft/second
Hey bud you should check out Red Rooster Custom Baits. We been catching some good ones on them.
I'll check them out
You won't be disappointed. Check out my Facebook page you'll see my pictures . I'm on Weiss Lake Al
Question with only one fish finder mount up front or console
I'd recommend mounting it on the console
Thanks for answering so quickly
Thumbs Up!!
👍
What is them structure piles Lincoln logs
These are actually fish cribs. It's basically a Lincoln log cabin without the roof.

Those look like cribs. Are you on Cedar Lake?
Yes, these are cribs
What size hooks do you normally use with minnows? Thanks!!
Eagle claw Size 2 rotating light wire hooks work really good . What we used for years.
do side imaging
Working on that video now
Flopping Crappie I have this unit and I love it. Just want to be more efficient. You explained that clear vu to the T!
My suggestion is.... don't tell anyone what rods reels or electronics ect you use....my wallet is gonna hurt 😞.
Haha
Great information, thanks
