Top 5 Fish Finder Mistakes (Most Anglers Make)

Thank you so much for the layman terms used that was very comprehensive on my ability to be a better angler.

This opens my eyes to moving my electronics settings around much more especially the megahertz. Thank you

That short video cleared up a lot of issues for me! Good job helping a fisherman!

Good info, Chad, thanks! this is definitely helpful to those of us out here who are not the sharpest on the technology! Also found your video on maintaining your MinnKota Ulterra to be very helpful! Thanks again.

I've been trying to figure out the balance between chart speed and boat speed for a while. Crystal clear now Thanks a million

I think this is the best video out there. You explain it so well. I also learned you have to constantly play with the contrast. All the time. This is a great video. Best one in my opinion. It should be at the very top of YouTube recommendations.

Would really like more info on down imaging settings on hummingbird helix, this video answered some of my questions on side imaging but could use more help if possible on side imaging on the helix, thank you for the great videos

Great Info! The delivery was easy to understand! Thanks!

Thank you sir. I bought a Solix 10 in Nov. and had them install it. Just waiting for ice out now so I can finally give her a go. I will come back to your videos as needed (I did take notes) I appreciate your time and effort. Really great info!

Thank you Chad. Really appreciate this tutorial. Would like to see one showing the sonar when you are actually cruising around, find the fish and set up on them.

Thank you for clear, precise explanations of a fish finder.

Excellent! Thank you for covering the ground basics like proper installation, boat and chart speed, cone size and adjustments such as color, sensitivity and contrast. All of that was news to me! I'm looking forward to getting on the water and adjusting my Humminbird. I've been using it for 2 years now and have never had it properly adjusted. I will keep this video to refer to over and over. Thank you!

Thank you for that information. I just purchased a new Helix 7. Can’t wait to try it out this year. I’ll definitely be sending you questions haha. Happy fishing.

Hi sir and I love your video. I believe the manufacturers of all electronics don't do the buyer justice. I would love for Humminbird to put on a 8 hour class on how to use everything they sell for your boat. I have Helix 9 on bow and console and I have Mega 360 and live on my Ultrex trolling motor . I know for certain I am not good at using any of this for say. I probably get 20% of what the units are capable of doing. Or better yet I would love for someone to actually take me out on my boat and teach me on the job training for say how to set it up and use it. I would pay to do this if you know of such a person that lives around central Illinois . The younger generation definitely catch on to this technology quicker and better than us old folk .

Thanks for this video...I'm learning to read one now and this really helped...thanks 🙌

Been fishing for over 50 years yes I used a OLD barrowed Humminbird multi-color flasher ice fishing FF and same one once on a fly-in Canada fishing trip (worked great both applications helped me catch a 36" walleye and a 44" northen on the FI Canadian trip) but haven't touched a FF for over 25 years so Id judge myself as a absolute fish finder novice who just bought after HOURS of research a Garmin 73sv as it was over $150 cheaper than its H/bird technalogical equivalent Now after buying I have watched over 50 beginner on SI/DI 101 videos on how to etc etc etc NOT A SINGLE video I have ever watched said a SINGLE word about you must be in motion for SI/DI to work Not ONE You taught me more Important information in 20 minutes than I learned after watching many hours of other people's videos Subscriber for life. Absolutely simplisticly understandably superb videos

Great video! I think my biggest mistake I'd not knowing what I'm looking at when it comes to fish and their size. A lot of times I find fish but they are not what I'm looking for. Other times I misidentified other things for fish or miss the fish. Keep up the good work. Some of us definitely need the help.

Thanks for the tutorial. This was very helpful and as a new user this will surely help me be more effective on the water.

I just installed IPilot Link and love it. My daughter and I use it for bass fishing and my wife love to catfish and panfish. Still learn the operation on the new Helix 9 MSI and MDI units.

One thing that I would suggest to someone new to side imaging is look for shadows of the fish. If you see a little gap between what looks like a fish and the shadow, it's most likely a fish. A rock or debris on the bottom usually won't have those gaps. Also you can get a pretty good idea how far off the bottom the fish are by the size of the gap
