Clear concise. The new VX Lakemaster cards have shallow water highlights plus 4 more custom depth highlights

[@BehindTheReelFishing]

[@StevenKirshbaum]

Being a new helix user, this video explained a lot to me. Thank you!

[@BehindTheReelFishing]

No problem. Thanks for watching!!

[@1WHARDEN]

You are very good at explaing the features so I can understand what ot adjust and how to adjust.

[@BehindTheReelFishing]

Thank you very much! Is there anything in particular you would like to see in a future video?

[@chaddavison6895]

Thanks Jon…I’m working my way thru your Humminbird videos!

[@BehindTheReelFishing]

Hell yeah! Gonna have some more posted up soon!

[@justinkelley7158]

Thanks a lot. I’ve had lowrance for the last four years. Just switched back to helixes and this vid helps a ton.

[@BehindTheReelFishing]

I'm glad you enjoyed it! Anything in particular you'd like to see next?

[@BobSmith-cl9ei]

Nicely done, tons of info for learning and done in a way that's easy to understand. Looking forward to more videos!

[@BehindTheReelFishing]

Thank you! I appreciate the feedback! We got more videos coming!

[@jones1394]

I mean with any color you choose i see how you will determine if its a hard or soft bottom???

[@BehindTheReelFishing]

I did a video on the vx premium as well. Check it out

[@DanaGoetzman]

I’m just starting to chart. How do I save and open iup what I charted back at the house plugged in at to the wall ?

[@DanaGoetzman]

I’ve charted and saved when I go back it’s still on the chart but I’m not able to open up what I charted back at the house. How do I open up what I charted back at the house plugged in to the wall reception?

[@DanaGoetzman]

Please help me get started

[@DanaGoetzman]

I’m 65years old so please start from charting to opening it up at the house on what I’ve just charted

[@DanaGoetzman]

Maybe lm not saving it right

[@BehindTheReelFishing]

I don't understand your question. What are you trying to save while at home?

[@DarwinWild]

Great explanation

[@BehindTheReelFishing]

Thank you!

[@ronknight6400]

Thanks for the video. I learned about the hack for having a second highlight depth.

[@BehindTheReelFishing]

I'm glad you got some value out of it! I appreciate you watching! We will have more to come!

[@jones1394]

Im using lakemaster vx premium. Im just trying to learn with all my questions 😊thank you in advance.

[@BehindTheReelFishing]

Thank you for watching!

[@PerryShriver]

some more good stuff.👍👍👍👍👍

[@jimjohnson1944]

Great information, Thank you

[@BehindTheReelFishing]

Yessir! Thanks for watching. We've got more videos like this one coming up!

[@rickysmith6772]

The reason you do highlight is if fish are biting in that area, contour, and to avoid shallow areas

[@BehindTheReelFishing]

Good info!

[@aerziijunk8474]

I own Helix 5 G2 and just bought Lakemaster chip and I can't get the lakemaster chip to work on my until. Any advice

[@BehindTheReelFishing]

Did you ever get to the bottom of this? Did you try to use the card in another unit to confirm the card was good?

[@SetFreeKnights1]

Enjoyed your video

[@BehindTheReelFishing]

Thank you very much!

[@Castawaycrowe22]

How did you change the colors ? I can't figure mine out at all.

[@BehindTheReelFishing]

What card do you have?

[@ruderj45]

Good video, can you do one on explaining perhaps maybe the different variations on the maps? And/or give insights on good areas to fish based on the highlights of the map structure in the overall demographics?

[@BehindTheReelFishing]

Great recommendation! I will get something going!

[@curtadams3281]

Good information!!

[@BehindTheReelFishing]

Glad it was helpful!

[@stilltuckered]

How do you determine what ‘normal’ pool level is on the map? That would be a starting point to figure out if it plus/minus a certain amount.

[@BehindTheReelFishing]

It doesn't matter. If the map says you're in 5 foot and your ducer says 10 increase by 5.

[@dexterlichtenstein4935]

Great video!

[@BehindTheReelFishing]

Thanks for the visit

[@My_Fishingjournal]

I'm running into issues where my helix 10 is white on part of the borders like yours 1:38 secs. On my helix 12 it doesn't do that. Why is that?

[@BehindTheReelFishing]

What I'm seeing at 1:38 is just where the unit is refreshing when I'm scrolling through the chart screen.

[@keithrowe3743]

Awesome tips!

[@BehindTheReelFishing]

Thank you! We have more Humminbird videos coming soon!

[@garyjenquin8313]

Very helpful clear And easy to understand You're doing a great job

[@BehindTheReelFishing]

Thank you for the positive feedback! It means a lot! Got a new Humminbird video up this morning!

[@bobsmith1841]

Nice tips, thx!

[@BehindTheReelFishing]

No problem. Will be doing more videos in the future!

[@fishinngrinnin9937]

Does the fish smart app allow for all of these settings? Have you done a fish smart app video?

[@BehindTheReelFishing]

The only app video I have done was on software updates. It's been a while since I've used it but I believe it has most if not all of the same shading options. I'll have to check it out and get back to you!

[@fishinngrinnin9937]

Thank you, I'm not sure I've been able to even connect properly. I will be able to try some things after this video.

[@bamadondon0495]

Does this work without the lake Master chart. It's just in the settings?

[@BehindTheReelFishing]

You must have a lakemaster card to make these adjustments.

[@jones1394]

You made it white but how do you know if its hard or soft bottom?????.

[@BehindTheReelFishing]

This card did not have that option. It's the shaded relief feature. Check out my vx premium video

[@neppichdeneppich3722]

hello yesterday after an automatic restart there are no more saved points. how can i recover them?

[@BehindTheReelFishing]

You may not be able to get them back unless you backed them up on an sd card

[@tonyparsley641]

Can I use lakemaste in a helix 7

[@BehindTheReelFishing]

Yes you can, but pay attention to the compatibility because some of the newer map cards won't work on the older units.

[@livindagoodlife3036]

How do you track reefs or rocks?

[@livindagoodlife3036]

And what kind of Humminbird fish finder is this? I need to buy one and make a map for my lake.

[@BehindTheReelFishing]

The unit I'm using is a Helix. Check out Russell Marine Products if you are looking to make a purchase. Holler if you have any questions

[@blakevinson4868]

How do you look up your trip and max mph

[@BehindTheReelFishing]

Have you tried adding this to your Overlay?

[@lindseywatkins2075]

Can the lake master card be viewed on a PC?

[@BehindTheReelFishing]

No, they cannot but you can download individual lake maps with Chart Select on PC or Fishmart for android or iPhone users. Thanks for watching!

[@Jeff_in_Florida]

I bought the lakemaster plus but it's not downloading into my helix . I've called humminbird hopefully it's a simple fix

[@BehindTheReelFishing]

The only thing I can think of is making sure you have Lakemaster or Auto selected for map source under the Chart tab.

[@CTRFishing]

This one was very well Done my man

[@BehindTheReelFishing]

I appreciate that!

[@bobsmith1841]

Do you recommend the strikemaster?

[@BehindTheReelFishing]

I have never used the strikemaster but it has the aerial imagery as well as recommendations on where to fish based on time of year etc...

[@takingoutthetrash1512]

I have a question: how come when i use to have my helix 9 g4n the maps show me lake contour and depth, but after i sold it and got a helix 7 g4 (not g4n) my maps dont have no more of anything but just show white with a red line???

[@BehindTheReelFishing]

Sounds like you had a Lakemaster card in your old unit. You will need another one if you want the contour information

[@Joelfrickinjohnson]

Here for the algorithm

[@BehindTheReelFishing]

LOVE YA!

[@escobarb69]

What sucks, Lakemaster plus is just basic on alot of lakes near me. I couldn't wait to try it out but it looks exactly like it did before, without the Lakemaster plus card. I tried watching your video, some good information, thank you, however, I feel it picks and chooses the more popular lakes, just my opinion anyways.

[@BehindTheReelFishing]

Yes they do leave out some of the smaller lakes but that's where the autochart feature comes in handy! I'll have to do a video on that as well

[@escobarb69]

@@BehindTheReelFishing that would be great. I would love to try that out.

[@BehindTheReelFishing]

@@escobarb69 Awesome. I'll try to put something together somewhat soon! Thanks for watching!
