Hey everyone!

I have had a great 2019 fishing year ever since I started using split screen 2D/SI while searching for fish because both have their pros and cons. Rather than relying mostly on 2D sonar to try and identify what fish I'm seeing on the graph as I did in the past, I rely way more on SI and this has consistently helped put fish in my boat even on unfamiliar water. I made a video talking about my approach and show numerous graph examples of what a good area looks like. I figured I'd share it here so hopefully others who may be new or learning can pick up on a few helpful tips.

All good senior , I appreciate your enthusiasm when the learning curve has been shortened. Add a second screen to show your chart whereby you can mark a spot instantly and search without having to change pages.

Would be nice to have another fish finder just for mapping. Luckily Humminbird has shortcut/favorites buttons to save theee of your favorite displays so I just bounce back and forth between those favorites. One is 2D/mapping.

Thanks for posting. I have learned quite a bit, from others posting their graph pictures and explaining some.

Thanks Clay this is what I have been looking for. You seem to focus a lot in the black part of the SI, what do you look for in the white sections if anything?

I did talk exclusively about the Black part of SI or the water column section in this video. But I always pay attention to what�s going on out further, especially in shallower water. Check out this short video of me using that area of SI to successful downrig flats about 18-22 feet deep which should better answer your question.




It�s funny to hear me say �I honestly don�t use side imaging very much� a year ago when I made that video and now I rely on it the mqnority if the time I�m searching for fish with little exception.

Good stuff!

Thanks man!
