Crappie fishing is difficult when vertical jigging brush piles or weed lines. Fishing for crappie is even more difficult when these crappie are suspended over open water. In this video I show you what to look for on your fish finder to locate crappie in the spring, summer, fall, and winter. I show how to use 2D sonar, Down Imaging, and Side Imaging to find suspended crappie over certain contours on a lake, river, or pond.

Being poor I settled for a Helix 7 on the console and a Helix 5 on the trolling motor. Thanks to you and your video's I am now confident I can use the information you posted to put some fish in my live well.

I fish a lake that just a bowl in the water. I have caught a couple crappie there but not worth concentrating on. There is not a single point of structure or downed tree in the whole lake that I have found , and have been around it several hundred times. I do well however in the weeds for gils and deep for walleye. so I can say I am happy with the lake albeit with no crappie.

Hello Davis - I recently upgraded to new Helix 12 with SIde Imaging. Had a smaller 7 inch unit that was several years old. Just went back and re-watched this video. Seeing the fish in the black area is fairly easy, but still struggle to see the fish out to side of boat (not in black area) as the fish blend in with the bottom. Do you point out fish that show on side imaging, but not in the black area under boat on any of your videos? I need to be able to train my eye for these suspended crappie. Also just noticed how many more fish that were showing on side and down imaging that did not appear to show up at least in same numbers on 2D. I didn't pick up on that first time I viewed video several months ago. Thanks for sharing.

@FloppingCrappie 5 жыл бұрын
Hi Wesley, I might have some videos showing fish on the side of the boat (in gold area) in the fish finder series. If not, this is something I will make another video on this spring. Fish can be hard to see in the shaded area (Gold on my side imaging) when the bottom is hard, made up of sand and gravel. The reason is fish appear as a hard surface, which will show as a brighter color, but when contrasted with a hard bottom they can be difficult to see. In this case I look for the shadow of fish. The shadow will show a dark spot in the hard bottom (gold area). If there is a soft bottom (silt/muck) fish will be easier to spot because they will show a bright dot or line (depending how big the fish is) against a dull black/gold background. Hope this helps for now. I will be filming another video on this topic. Thanks for watching!

Man, great video. My only issue is I have a helix 5. Very small screen. It is extremely hard for me to decipher between schools of bait fish, junk in the water and crappie. You image at the 16:33 mark is something I look for but I think MINE come out more as a blob. I think I need to play with the sensitivity and contrast. Thoughts? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
@FloppingCrappie
@FloppingCrappie 4 жыл бұрын
If the fish are looking like a blob, it's most likely a school of bait fish. However if you think they're crappie, I would reduce the sensitivity until I see some separation between fish in a school.

When the brush pile comes into view that means it’s under your transducer is there anyway to tell if it’s to the right or the left of the boat or straight up under you

At 10:18, it shows a school on SI in the water column directly below the boat. You flipped over to 2D and there’s barely anything on the graph. If they are right below the boat, wouldn’t they certainly be in the 2D cone? I’m having this same issue with my Helix 7.

Hi, most of the new sonar unit that use side/down imaging run a 1.1-1.25 Mghz which gives a really crisp and clear image. Humminbird, lowrance, and garmin all how units with this technology. If you're looking for something on the lower end of the price range checkout humminbird helix 9 MSI G3N $1500, Lowrance Hds7 Live $1200, or garmin ultra 102sv $1800

If you have sonar units both and the dash and bow of your boat (and they are linked together), then waypoints are the way to go. I, unfortunately, have a humminbird at the dash and a garmin at the bow (they cant be linked), so I prefer a buoy marker if when I'm using livescope. It gives me a visual area i need to be close to, even when using livescope

Question for you.. I fought with auto chart live for 2 weeks after getting my helix 10 g4n. I could never see the colored path on the base map with contour lines as I mapped. Nobody, including Humminbird tech, could figure it out. Then by accident I found out that you have to zoom in to be able to see the depths and colored path as I map. Why doesn't anyone say you have to zoom on all these videos?

The best way is to catch them. Some sonar units that have mega imaging technology are able to show the difference, but even with that tech it can be difficult

Sometimes in extremely soft bottom or extremely hard bottom, sonar units will get a double reading. Its usually just noise that can be fixed be setting the depth range to a shallower depth.

I have a hummingbird piranhamax 4 low end and the trying to learn how to use it but out of the water the transducer is 2 foot from the road and the unit is showing 8 feet. How can you improve this cause I can not depend on the numbers if it is off by that much.

Your transducer will not read if it's out of the water. It uses Sonar, which read through water. Radar reads through air.

Those would be fish directly below the boat. Since my boat isn't moving very fast and the fish remain below the transducer, the display will show as a solid line until the boat drifts or the fish swim away

So are you saying that the main reason to use 2D is to identify bottom hardness? The reason I ask is if your down imaging and side imaging show fish more clearly one would think that you would run a split screen with them and not use the 2D. I am learning a lot from your videos and it seems that me running DI and SI while trying to locate structure and cover is not the correct way.
@FloppingCrappie
@FloppingCrappie 5 жыл бұрын
The reason I showed how to use 2D is for people who only have 2D sonar. I normally run a split screen of 2d and side imaging. The 2d will show real time images while the side imaging lags a bit, but shows what is outside of my 2d cone. Once I see fish (or what I think are fish below the boat) with the 2d, I switch to split screen of 2d and down imaging to get a clear picture below the boat. The unit I use can allow for 2d, DI, and SI to be shown on the same screen. It's all about what you find comfortable for marking fish. You might have a different method than I do which ok.

are you referring to the green pixels below the red line? this would be feedback from the lake bottom. Sometimes if your sonar is reading a really hard surface, there can be feedback or a double reading.

oh ok, the double green line? this is a double reading that can happen with really soft or really hard lake bottom. The transducer is receiving multiple signals and translates that info into a double reading on your display. The top line in the actual lake bottom.

In order to get the best picture on your graph, the boat needs to be moving. If the boat were sitting still, the fish and brush would look like straight lines on the graph.
