Best Settings for Down Imaging. In this video I explain the settings I use to find fish (crappie), brush piles, and structure transitions. I break down Sensitivity (Gain), contrast, and depth settings to help give you the best picture on your Garmin, Humminbird, or Lowrance with Down Imaging.

In general, the TI units are faster in response to inputs. This is seen when quickly switching between sonar, downscan, chart, and split screens ru-vid.comUgkxeAxH15LxhjGlg5-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.

Whoot! I've learned so much from your video's that I don't think I'll ever repay you.Thank you! I've mostly did salt water fishing until of late other than bass fishing. I bought a small boat to use in the Lake Region of MN and am looking forward to using your tips... I've caught Walleye and pike but never a crappie.... This will be the Spring for that. Thanks again.

The humminbird helix 5 or lowrance hook reveal are good options for $500. You can also check out the Garmin Striker vivid 5, just make sure it has built in navionic mapping.

@kerrys.5725 2 года назад

Great tutorial Davis! Although I am a bit confused. The question from your Subscriber posted in the video had to do with not being able to find a brush pile marked with Side Scan using Down Imaging when using the Go To navigation feature. I didn't see this addressed is the video. Am I missing something? If so, apologies! Love your content Brother! Best detailed/explained in depth on YT! God Bless!

@FloppingCrappie 2 года назад

I must have missed that part. Once we have open water upnorth, I address that part of the question

Thanks for another GREAT video! I enjoy your channel much, its not just another channel full of vids with a guy sitting in a boat seat staring at a livescope screen and horsing a fish in over and over. Your vids are different because they are instructional and explanations are given. Keep up the fantastic work! On to my question. I am running a Garmin Vivid 7SV with my transducer mounted on my trolling motor. I like having the transducer at the front where Im standing to fish. The 2D and Down Imaging works great but Side Imaging is terrible. have you ever used SI on a trolling motor mount? I'm concerned thats the problem but I'd like to keep the transducer there if at all possible. Any tips, tricks would be appreciated....Thanks!

@FloppingCrappie 2 года назад

Sometimes the trolling motor prop can cause interference with SI . Also, side imaging works best when trolled at a constant speed.

@ia6980 Год назад

Please can you tell me which is better for deep water garmin echo sv series or lowrance elite fs? Thank you in advance!

@MattyG33 10 месяцев назад

How do you know where the fish are out of the bost in relation to what you're seeing on the screen? To the left, right or straight out the rear of the boat? My transducer is located in the right rear or starboard. Thanks!

@SC-hc7vy 2 года назад

How did you set your clearvu resolution so clear?

@MrSki-mv2kr Год назад

I feel like I screwed up buying the ECHOMAP Garmin 63cv UHD with the UHD 24 transducer. I wish I spent much more time researching to really learn that if I had spent just $300 more for a fish finder like the ECHOMAP Garmin 93 sv with the 54 or 52 transducers. Because I could at least add live image scope as a upgrade.

@stanislawgraniczny9879 2 года назад

The Garmin 9-inch is suitable for ice fishing

@panchopachangas4450 2 года назад

Thank you Davis! I was literally trying to figure out how to zoom in today on the water. I didn’t know the two finger zoom worked for Garmin like google earth or a tablet. I Didn’t know about the screen capture either. Do you have a video showing all these quick tricks. I had my scroll speed all wrong as well. I had my scroll speed set high thinking since I was moving so slow on a kayak I needed to compensate for it with a faster scroll speed. Sorry but my last Garmin was a Striker 7 and all buttons. I’m still trying to learn the 93uhd.

@FloppingCrappie 2 года назад

I don't have a video on the quick tricks for the Garmin screen, but that would make for a good video.

@johngarrie2633 2 года назад

Thanks for the how to video . I am looking for a unit but don’t know which one to get I have $ 1000. To put on one . Would like one with Good down imaging and Sideview I was told a hummingbird helix nine mega was a good one just need to find something to fish Croppie and bluegill beds . Any help would be appreciated . In South Louisiana we Fish lakes and rivers Toledo bin area the Henderson swamp about anywhere from 5 to 20 feet of water looking for something to find cover and brush piles.

@FloppingCrappie 2 года назад

The best unit right now for under $1000 is the Garmin 93sv UHD with gt54 transducer at $699 bit.ly/3uJMoih. Humminbird Helix 9 is a great unit, but it prices in at $1500 bit.ly/34CrcAi . You could look into a humminbird helix 8 at around $1200 bit.ly/34VcOmg , same unit as the 9 just a slightly smaller screen. All three of these units have mega side imaging. The only difference between the humminbird and garmin (gt54 transducer) is the Garmin runs 840khz down imaging instead of 1.1mhgz like the humminbird. You can buy the new Garmin 93sv with gt56 transducer that is full mega imaging like the humminbirds for $1100 bit.ly/34RZfEi

@chayseemge7969 2 года назад

I never comment on videos but this is the second in a week, on your channel. That’s gotta say something. 2D seems to suck compared to down image. When you run your screen, how do you split it, if at all. It seems like down image and side would be the way to go?

@FloppingCrappie 2 года назад

There is a function on your sonar settings that allows you to view 2d, di and SI at the same time on the dame screen. All of the sonar function have different uses. I primarily use side imaging and down imaging.

Are you using a Garmin Echomap 73sv for this video illustration? Please advise.

@FloppingCrappie Год назад

Echomap 93SV

@rodrigoelgu Год назад

question sir so I just got a 106sv and the brightness and range goes back to auto on down view after I restart the unit, is this normal do I need to set those every time I turn on the fishfinder or is there something wrong with my 106sv?

@FloppingCrappie Год назад

Hmm, the only thing I can think of is if the battery connection is being disconnected after you shut it off. But even then, the 106sv should save the settings for brightness and range.

@stanislawgraniczny9879 2 года назад

Garmin, what do you have on a 9 inch boat or is it suitable for ice fishing

@FloppingCrappie 2 года назад

@FloppingCrappie 2 года назад

I would use 455khz for side imaging. I've personally never fished a lake like you described, but I would look for any brush or timber on my side imaging. If I can't find that I will look for rock piles going into the lake, some sort of cover transition.

Man this might be a super noob question but how do I know what’s below me on my screen?

@FloppingCrappie 2 года назад

After hours on the water you get used to seeing certain types of cover (brush, weeds , rocks) and can determine with a high probability what they look like. Unfortunately, this does take some time on the water.
