I was on the ice today with my buddy who has a Hummingbird fish finder. We were in holes 15′ to 30′ apart. For most of the day my Elite 3X was telling me there were fish all over the place. No, it wasn’t in demo mode! The other fish finder was far more pessimistic.
I’ve gone over the manuals (what little there is) and it doesn’t quite explain things. I tried changing settings and eventually used the Reset to go back to factory defaults. Once I did I could then see my jig and also that there were no fish.
I saw this post (http://www.in-depthoutdoors.com/community/forums/topic/lowrance-elite-3x-anyone-running-this-unit/#post-1517097) from WinnebagoViking and it confirms a couple of settings that I was playing with. Are there any writeups or How-To articles that would clue me in on the basics of using a fish finder?
The Hummingbird would beep when fish were spotted. Mine doesn’t seem to support that. Or did I miss something?
