Down Imaging Best Settings (How to use Fish Finder)

[@steveeverett9240]

Been trying to figure out how to expand screen with fingers and saw you had zoom set on manual. Just bought Garmin 93 sv and your video really helped !! Keep up the good work and thank you for your videos !! Much appreciated !!!

[@ninjagodzilla6402]

Best soulnar/fish finder videos on youtube or anywhere else hands down.anytime i get stummped or have a question you always take the time to answer.or i find my answer simpmy by watching.good stuff.

[@GAFisherman]

I know you're still dealing with hard water. Thanks for posting about Garmin down imaging. Always learning something. Keep warm.

[@larryreid8562]

In general, the TI units are faster in response to inputs. This is seen when quickly switching between sonar, downscan, chart, and split screens kzbin.infoUgkxeAxH15LxhjGlg5-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.

[@justinoutdoors3159]

You are the best KZbin I see right now buddy

[@kerrys.5725]

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]

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

[@kerrys.5725]

@@FloppingCrappie Thanks Davis! That Go To Nav piece has me stumped too. I usually don't use it and just go to the waypoint manually.

Great video Davis. Good information for the down imaging. I'll need to check some settings on my Garmin. Thanks.

[@FloppingCrappie]

Thanks!

[@MFamilyFishing]

Thank you. I am in the $500 market for a new finder. Appreciate what you do. Thanx

[@FloppingCrappie]

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.

[@Tomc8030]

Good video really helpful for us guys just stepping up our game.

[@bidkid2020]

Very good video I appreciate definitely teaching me a lot about my Garmin I have a 93 I see a lot of debris in the water with mine I think my settings are set too high

[@edlawson2161]

Hey brother I just bought one of these “2023 model” when I go to frequency, it only shows 400 and 800. I heard you say you have to update your transducer if you want that…how do you do that? Is it a download/update, or a new transducer? I enjoy your videos a lot of good info…at 61 just getting back into fishing 🎣 thanks!

[@FloppingCrappie]

@edlawson2161 the gt54 transducer is only capable of 400 and 800, you would need to upgrade to the Gt56 transducer if you want to use 1.1mghz

[@petegrigsby8975]

Great Content! Thanks. I just asked about the scroll speed, trying to learn how to throw out bouys for more accurate placement.

[@FloppingCrappie]

I have a separate video showing scroll speed on down imaging and side imaging here kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5zCf5moaa-tpJI

[@MattyG33]

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!

Id like to know the answer too! I'm a newbie

hey i have the same 9" unit. i just set it up yesterday and it is extremely slow! the map is awful and takes 30 seconds to render. do you know what i might be doing wrong?

[@ia6980]

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

[@crosstimbersfarm7568]

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]

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

[@Nastybodone]

Love all the help! Thanks, can similar setting be good for smallmouth etc I’m new to this.

[@cupcakesprinkles6694]

Thanks for the tips !

[@chaguie07171959]

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

Yes

Thanks for the information 👍

[@FloppingCrappie]

No problem 👍

[@rodrigoelgu]

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]

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.

[@jarrodgiddens7094]

Hi my downvu is dark hardly see anything but sidevu is fine ,any ideas whats wrong ?

[@brandonhaynes9120]

does the touch screen still work well if your hands are a little wet? considering getting one for my yak

[@FloppingCrappie]

The touch screen will still work, I can still use mine when it's raining

[@stanislawgraniczny9879]

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

[@FloppingCrappie]

im trying to learn my huminbird all the numers on the screen and is the white deeper than the other colors

[@johngarrie2633]

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]

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

[@MrSki-tyvm]

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]

Is it suitable for Ice Fishing

Yes it will look like flat lines if the boat isn't moving

[@chayseemge7969]

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]

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.

[@leonardosebastian54]

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

[@FloppingCrappie]

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.

[@stanislawgraniczny9879]

The Garmin 9-inch is suitable for ice fishing

[@donniedickerson8077]

Good Job,,, I Fish Shallow Water Oxbows, When I say shallow water I mean Typically 2 to 8 ,, I can find spots that may drop to 9 to 11 but it's Very very rare to find those Holes,, Side Scan In Shallow Water Lakes ,Less than 8ft ,, Any Good Advise ?? I have the Garmin Striker Vivid 9 SV if that helps ,I'm still learning it , I've watched several of your vids extremely helpful no doubt , Anything You can pass along that target those shallow depths is Appreciated , Thanks In Advance

[@FloppingCrappie]

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.

[@donniedickerson8077]

@@FloppingCrappieBeyond Doubt These Lakes Are Not The Average To Figure Out ,I've Been Fishing them for 50 years and Some are still a mystery outside of what I know about Crappie , I'm seriously hopeful the Side View Will Shed some light on some things for me , I Believe It's Going To Make The Difference In Seeing What I Need To See As Far As Cover And Bottom Structure ie..dropoffs ledges, soft to harder Bottoms , We should be headed into a prespawn type Transistion Period water temps are Gradually Coming up , Were still having cold nights some But Not as Many , Really Shallow Water Lakes , Now Land Locked Oxbows That Are Only Effected When the Pascagoula River is At Flood Stage , I'll Definitely Try the 455khz , Greatly Appreciated , Keep It Reelin And Ya Line Tight 💦🐟🎣🤠

[@panchopachangas4450]

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]

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

@@FloppingCrappie I'm getting multiple answers. Some say match boat speed, some say auto, some say 7-10. I am trolling at 1 mph. A guy said if I set it to 1 and go over brush when I see the brush it's 10 feet behind the boat. But if I set it to 5, wouldn't it be further once I see it?

[@LetsCrappieFish]

@@FloppingCrappie Ok, so according to that video, I need to set it to 3 or 10? I have the Garmin 93SV. So basically I have it set to 1 and I drop marker when I see brush which in reality is actually 10-15 ft behind the boat. Wonderful.
