Using Navionics Relief Shading to find new spots offshore and inshore Tampa Bay!

I take out our sponsor to try to get him on a hogfish. I decided that I would use the Navionics Relief Shading to see if I could find some new areas and boy did we. Utilizing this piece of equipment just took my offshore game to another level! We caught over 9 different species and found a ton of new spots. You too can use this tool to help find new spots offshore and inside Tampa Bay

I had a question I have a Simrad go nine and currently have the strike lines for Tampa Bay which shows a ton of detail the only thing that sucks is it kind of only works in Tampa Bay and doesn’t work too well offshore. I’ve been considering the Navionics platinum i’m wondering if you’ve used both at what your thoughts are.

[@TampaBayFishingChannel]

Yes I have used both. Strikelines has some good things about it as does the Navionics.

Is relief shading only good for saltwater?

Todd, where does one get this Navionic Relief Shading. I'm getting a Garmin 8612xsv with my new boat. I asked at West Marine in Bradenton, and they said they had nothing.

[@TampaBayFishingChannel]

The Navionics is not compatible with any Garmin machines according to the compatibility chart on the Navionics website.

Can this work in the Caribbean as well?

[@tomgausman8674]

I got the Navionics Platinum + and cannot get the relief shading on my Hummingbird Helix gen4, what am I doing wrong? I check out all the views available and can't find it.

[@TampaBayFishingChannel]

You might have to update the sd card or contact Humminbird to find out what the issue you might be. If you have not picked the land and sea view on the chart settings you might need to go and do that.

Which navionics chip are you using. I just purchased the 632p+ chip for my simrad go9sxe & it is missing the bottom detail for anywhere further than the end of the ship channel. I reported the problem to navionics & they confirmed there is a problem when they tested it on a lowrance & are looking into the reason why. Its been over a week & have not heard back from them. Pretty crappy response for paying $199 for a chip that only gets updates for a year. The android app shows all relief shading but my simrad does not.. You are better off using your phone & the navionocs app as you get the same relief shading at much cheaper cost per year.

[@TampaBayFishingChannel]

I will admit on the Simrad it looks totally different than on the lowrance or Humminbird that I have used the Navionics on. When you zoom in on the lowrance or Humminbird it zooms all the way in but not on the Simrad

ANyone that uses a Garmin know which card or setting will do something like this? Thanks,

[@jb5676]

I'd like to know too.

[@jb5676]
