I saw that video. I still have trouble seeing the fish vs the rocks. We have a real rocky bottom and the rocks and fish look just alike.

Try bringing in the side image to 50' range and see if it shows you a better separation from the rocks to fish. I have gone as low as 30' range on rocky bottom before getting a good separation. Also I have to play/adjust the contrast to help distinguish better sometimes. Also make sure your chart speed match your boat speed. I have mine at 3-5 mph.

I bought my 899 from shutupnfish a few weeks ago. Im a heavy reader I have read and watched everything about it. But nothing like just getting boat time and seat time staring at it and saving modes I like best. I Love graphing fish within 55' if something looks good I surround it and zoom and study what im looking at.Its the best purchase I have made and nothing like passing up one of my holes if its not holding fish.

Sorry haven't got the catching part down Calvy Lewisvillan, Are you part of the people who uploaded the SI video? I haven't been called Calvy since 1st grade. What brought that on?

Can't imagine fishing without it.

Thx, Slime. That's what I'm starting to do now. Learning more each time. I didn't know there was a mode to cut out the water column on the side view. That will help with such a small screen like on the Helix 5 SI GPS.

Nice shot. How far were you shooting and how deep? Most importantly, what'd you pull out of that pile?

50-60ft. Side to side in about 2 to 5ft. Of water. My son hooked into his lake record out of that mess of fish. I believe the smallest was a 13#r. Lots of 20+ and a few 30s. His lake record was 50.45
