You have what some people call a "Dream setup!" As just a part time fisherman, I'm not that dedicated. Actually I'm 70 years old and just bought my first fish finder, a cheap Garmin Striker 7V. Basically it just confirms the fish are where I thought they would be and keeps me from wasting time fishing in places where I've caught fish before, but they aren't there at that moment. It's handy for finding which bridge column has the most fish around it too.

Hey Brandon, great video I just mounted 2 hds live 9’s on my boat w active target and MK ultrex I just retired and I’m new to crappie fishing, I have bass fished most of my life. I enjoy following your videos they help me while I’m in this learning curve. I remember when I ran 3 Humming Bird flashers on my boat I thought that was the setup back in the day. Lol 😂

It’s tilted up just a little but I think it has a lot more to do with it being mounted in the right spot and all your wiring being installed correctly. Big wire and dedicated power equals a clear picture.

I know on older lowrance you could adjust the ping speed, which gave a clearer picture, more detail.. on humminbird, ping speed and scroll speed are linked.. search thru your settings and see if you can find ping speed, if u can, crank it up. envision an artist painting a picture as hes walking past it,, the faster he can paint, the more detail he will get..

Do you prefer the ultrex over the ghost?
@BrandonLesterFishing
@BrandonLesterFishing Жыл бұрын
I do. I find it easier to stay lined up when using active target (when using the transducer on the shaft) with the ultrex. The ghost is a better motor for shallow water power fishing though. It’s stronger and quieter than the ultrex. Both are great motors but the ultrex works for me and I’m going to stick with it for now. Thanks for watching!
