Hey guys,
I’m going to be getting my first SI humminbird shortly and previous to this, my fish finder experience really is limited to an old Eagle FishEasy which was only used for depth. I’ve done a ton of research over the winter and there are many videos which explain features, installation, changing settings for optimization, and of course catching fish.
One thing that I haven’t seen and think would be very useful, is a video showing how experienced fisherman use this equipment in their search for fishing spots. It may not be the most exciting video, but I’m interested in peoples procedures in doing this. Like do they first do a visual check of area, then a couple quick passes with SI, and then mark top possibilities. Then do a few slow passes on those few spots, then if they look good put a line in the water?
Even if there isn’t a video, I’d be interested in how you guys here in the forums assess and break down an area and narrow down the locations you ultimately end up fishing.
Thanks
