In general, the TI units are faster in response to inputs. This is seen when quickly switching between sonar, downscan, chart, and split screens ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxeAxH15LxhjGlg5-CRYqjTGTEH0tbY4vk recommend The Hook units will show some lag on button pushes and screen switching. The big ticket item though is maps. If you install a mapping card such as Navionics or the free C-Map Genesis which has a lot of map detail, then moving around the map with the cursor or when running down the lake can lag significantly on the Hook units, but is seamless with the TI units.
The first video (or even in person discussion) that clearly explains how/why side scan is worthwhile. Thanks.
Hey man thanks a million. This is so cool to see you explain it. I would like to know how far they are from the boat and how to cast at them.
Great video Kaleb. Very few good videos on catfishing and proper use of sonar. I have that exact same unit and couldn't imagine hitting the water without it anymore. These aren't like the old units where you just set it and forget it. You really need to make adjustments to your current fishing conditions. If your getting a new one the best thing you can do is get on the water and just play with it. You can't mess it up because there's a default reset. So you back to factory settings. Just try not to run in to anything because your staring at the screen and can't believe all the new info your learning. Also you'll find you enjoy fine tuning it because of all the details that will jump out at you.
I couldn't have said it better myself Greg. Like you said, you have to adjust with the conditions for that day of fishing to get the best detail out of your fish finder. I hope someone is able to take this video and speed up that learning curve for identifying fish and start catching sooner! Thank you for the nice comment and best of luck to you on the water !
I have watched several of these side imaging videos today. Yours by far is the best vid I've seen explaining this and what you are seeing.
This has to be best video I've never seen on understanding Side Imaging I thank you for the explanation because it can be complicated us first time users but after watching video makes me more confident to go out and be sure what I'm looking at thanks a million
Saw similar large schools of catfish on side scan this past weekend on my Helix 10 . Beautiful returns!!
Dieter,Thank you for the complements. Side imaging is a game changer and for those who take a little time to understand it will be glad they did! Hope you enjoy that Lowrance, they make a great product as well and I hope you have years of success with it!
One of the best explanations and realtime view of side imaging
I'm glad that at the end you specified 2D sonar only not being valuable in shallow water. Your video was on a shallow flat where you're correct in that 2d sonar won't show many fish due to little cone coverage. But 2d is still as valuable as ever in deeper water when cone can expand. It's also helpful in shallow water for observing bottom composition changes. Nonetheless, great video. I enjoyed it.
I wanna see the return of the blind squirrel videos 🤙🏻 enjoy seeing you fish
This video showed me what I was wanting to know! Can't wait to see the side imaging and seeing you catch them at the same time!!
ballpythons Thats what i enjoy hearing! Good luck to you out there!
I enjoyed this video from start to finish. You just made your first sale.
Thanks for the good words!!!!! Best of luck to you with your new unit!
Prob the best si video I've seen hands down I'm convinced! Thanks guys!
Robert Livingston Not a problem Robert! We will be doing others so tune in and will cover some more great pieces of side imaging information!
Definitely buying an SI unit this winter when the sales come on. It will save a great deal of time searching for the offshore summertime bass with just DI and 2d sonar. Nice video.
nice to see someone showing fish instead of trees and logs. ive caught some hugh logs
Me being a beginner i found this very informative! ! Thanks for the info and all your videos
Loved this video we just bought a Humminbird and this really helped me understand how to see fish. Thanks!!
Best video I have watched on this hands down!
Kaleb - fantastic video! Really made it clear how to read the side imaging and just how useful it can be
Very nice video. One of the best I have seen explaining side view. Thanks
Hey man, great video. Thanks for taking the time to spread some information on this relatively new technology. My Lowrance HDS 10 is less than six months old, so I am still learning a lot about how to use it for catching catfish. Finding structure for flathead fishing is the first accomplishment, and the side scan is "earning its keep" in shallow water. Excellent job...
Its my pleasure Dieter! I am glad it helped you! I will be uploading more and more videos to shed some light on this technology and how it translates to anglers catching more fish! Thank you for your support. If there is anything I can do to help you just let me know!
excellent demo. Just got my helix 7. .. now I know what to look for. thx
Great explanation. I have been so confused watching my buddies SI. I couldn't make heads or tails of it until now
Awesome video thanks for the hard work can't wait to try my new hummingbirds may get imaging side and down love the video keep up the great work
Great Vid - Can you share some of your Hummingbird settings ?
Wow! Okay this makes more sense. You can chart plot waypoints of all those fish? Man, i gotta get into side imaging.
great explanation on how to use this side imaging, will have to add it to my collection, on a side note the fish dont stand a chance today.
Nice, I am looking to upgrade (old one crapped out..) this is the first bit of info I am getting on the DISTANCE to expect when shooting to the side in SHALLOW water. Seems this should be easy to get info on, to compare units/capabilities... I know I want to have side image, but the exact unit is hard to decide on...
Impressive to say the least!!! A purchase has to be made haha!!!
Sweet video, convinced me to get side scanning.
Kaleb, that was without any doubt in my mind the best demonstration of the side imagining to date. Thanks. I'm considering of purchasing a hummingbird 7 inch screen due the size of my kayak. Any thoughts on that? Thanks in advance.
Thanks for the video. Had my mind wrapped on DI but yoi make me change to SI. Post more videos.
Best video on youtube . Thanks.
Great video, Humminbird should hire you.!
That's pretty convincing! I was wondering which transducer you have, there seems to be several ducers on the Humminbird website.
Learned a lot. But, what is that line in the center of the screen? I am a shore fisherman but, I want to learn how to read sonar. Good lesson, many thanks.
Now that i understand this a little better cause of your video that leads me to my next question. So lets say i see the fish off to the left side. How do i know where to cast to or how far out to cast? When you see the fish off to the left side of your SI do you just pick up a rod and start casting furiously everywhere to the left until one bites? Id like to learn how to home in on them when i see them on SI. Thanks
the numbers at the bottem of the screen tell you how far away said object is.
so if your scanning out 60 feet to each side.... and its right in the middle of the left side return....
then the fish is 30 feet left.
to get depth.... make a mark point.... and go over said markpoint (or shift 30 feet left) and start using your traditional or down scan.....
that's a nice color, thanks for sharing!
I'd love to see a video that shows how to determine where a marked fish is in relation to the boat. For example cast to 4 O clock 10ft off right side and 8ft deep.
How do you know how far past a marked fish you are in the boat? Just bought my first fish finder, Hummingbird 698ci HD si. Gotta figure out how to use/read it.Fortunately, I'll be in max 20' water and 9hp pontoon so don't have to study too hard for readings at speed.Your video help, thanks
Best video explanation of current fish finder technology (and tons of other fishing topics) I have seen. Awesome. Going for CHIRP technology with side imaging for Striper Fishing in CT. Thanks!! If I have a few questions, is there an email to which I can send them? All the best, Chip Adams
Wow. I was on the fence until I saw this. Almost every lake and river I fish is 30' and shallower. Your video really helps demonstrate how the fish appear on the SI units.
Would I find an entry level unit like the Humminbird HELIX 5 SI GPS to be as effective as your device?
Do u know they are catfish because the bright feedback is wider?
Excellent video. Thanks.
Nice seetings for imaging qualitty ... i would know what did you do - contrast, sensetivity ?
Awesome video. Very informative.
Do you think the blue screen is the best for seeing fish on brush piles or big catfish loved the video. Thanks
thank you for this important information, 50 - 60 feet on my smaller screen
Do you use the Blue color palette with both Side Scan and Down Scan ? Thanks.
Definitely going side image this year, I have a Garmin 2d image. Laughable compared to this, but hey rookies have to start somewhere lol. Thanks for the info.
Anytime D.Wize! It all about time on the water in the end!
Great explanation on this video. I'm looking for Panfish instead of catfish. Will the Panfish show up as white hard returns like the catfish? or is it just because the catfish are bigger that they show up so well?
Can you tell me what your settings are and what size fish you think they are? I have a 999 with side imaging and mine doesn't show fish like that. Thanks in advance. any help would be appreciated.
great video really opened my eyes to si
Ok so you see them. Can you navigate on top of them by setting waypoints directly on the sideimaging history scan?
great video and explanation.
This dude screams in his sleep, fish fish fish fish this is a fishaaaaa 😂😂
Awesome video! What model hummingbird do you have in the video?
This is a great video, definitely told me what I wanted to know. Which model is this?
We have the exact opposite. We can see the fish on traditional sonar on a split screen and little to none on Side imaging. Why would that be ? Settings are similar to yours.
Kaleb Page great video!! Thanks much for doing that. Wish you would put up more, LOL ! Do you think the Helix7 can produce SI screens as sharp as in this video ?
Ok - I am convinced - my ?? is how effective in deep water - 50' depths ? how about 100' deep ?? I fish the Chesapeake Bay and the Patuxent River has a 127' depth at the mouth in Solomons Md.
whats your goto setup for contrast, brightness etc. default on humminbird seems dull
Hi there, thanks for your great video to explained how the side sonar works! I think i understand a little bit more about it.
I have a 21ft boat that followed up a basic fish finder with Garmin echo 101 which provide me the basic 2d fish finder and button scanner for me to reference about fishing spot, but I just know how to use it to find structure under water, like underwater rocks or holes with some simple icon.
After this I found there should be some way to improve, and saw those fish finder brand like Garmin, Lowrance etc having some new tech for finding fish but I nothing get how its working until this video.
There some question for me about the side sonar as I heard you say this side imaging could be scan about 250ft deep but will be hard to see with a 10" screen, so is that not really work for deep waters?
I saw you troll about 3-4mph seems it runs good! how about the max speed for scanning for those finder?
Thanks.
Great Video! Thank you
what kind of boat is that? do you have a boat setup video?
Do you find the blue screen better then the brown?
Will it pick up on crappie or are they too small?
Great video!
Kaleb is His Screen Name, But I Recognize His Voice, It is the Famous Voice of the Comedian “Killer Beez”.!!!
“Save Uuuup” !
Do you have any images of shellbeds? How do you know the fish you were looking at were catfish? I like your video, hope you post some more, good work.
Great video.
Thanks
Thanks for the video, very helpful
Ty brutha. Informative.
I fish Port O'Connor water is deep 40' + how do I need to set my SI ?
Great Demo!
i fish often fish in the mississippi for catfish. i have a hummingbird. but will it work the same way? because the water i fish tend to be about 60 ft deep and pretty muddy!! iv never found out how people find the big fish and catch them using the sonar. any help is appreciated. thanks
What khz are you running the sidescan at? 455 or 800
Have you ever used a deeper fish finder for catfish? I'm asking because I have a kayak I'm going to be targeting Flathead and blues out of and I want a side scanning sonar but can't quite afford one at this moment. Would you recommend using a deeper or just saving that Money and going ahead to purchase a side imaging sonar? I'm looking to land some trophy fish, but unsure of the fish finder I should invest in. I fish rivers and lakes. Rivers I can read well and land good fish, but lakes I have trouble finding the flatheads. Any advice I'd appreciate. Thanks!
Which humminbird is that - 1198c ?
Which unit are you using?
how do you know the difference in specie's
if im in 2 _ 3 ft of water will side imaging still work????
What Model humming bird is that? looks like the 1198
Its the 1198c I believe
I have been watching your side imaging on catfish how did you get the catfish to glow white what are your setting please
Set your display color setting to blue
Would these fish show up on 360?
What should I get a hds 9 or a helix 10
is that the hd ducer?
What else gives you a hard return other than fish,I know its not just fish
great vid thanks
DAMN GOOD VIDEO!
You were saying those are catfish. How can you distinguish if they are catfish or not??
How much price fish finder and BD
Which color is this? I can't find the white "hard return" displaying on mine? Any tips? Mm which megahertz do you run?
JEFF HOBERG he said turn the the hardness
Where's the video of you trying to catch those fish using the SI?
Hey Bo be looking out for it! I am going to release that video with our new website coming out this month!
What settings do you have the SI enhance on? Meaning what is your sensitivity, contrast, sharpness etc? I just got a 1199 and had a 998 but I can't get the hardness to be that bright.
DEFMP10 i'd really like an answer to this question, too. the thing that's keeping me from stepping up to this technology is that when i see it in use, it is generally much harder to distinguish fish than on the particular unit you're showing in this video.
Hey DEFMP10! Sorry for the delay in responding back to your message. Your Humminbird comes out of the box set up well for finding fish from the beginning but you will have to adjust it as conditions change to get that excellent imaging. Normally I run my sensitivity on 8-10,Contrast at 10, and sharpness on off. Those settings change as conditions do tho. I make sure that I am at a nice slow speed keeping the boat straight. Also I keep my chart speed (the data that moves across the screen) to match my boat speed. Doing that not only keeps what you see accurate as to what is to the left or right of you but keeps the image clear. Your side imaging beam is a very thin beam from front to back and takes very thin slices of the bottom and sides. With the beam being thin from front to back it makes it hard on the beam to draw a crystal clear image on the screen if it cant keep up from you scanning to fast. So keeping your boat speed and chart speed around 3-4 mph will help create a nice clear image on your graph.Also your settings have a lot to do with what type of bottom harness you are around. If im in a rocky or gravel bottom I have to tun my side imaging sensitivity down to around 8. The reason for this is the beam when turned up is to bright hitting off the rocks and gravel and and can make it difficult to achive good clarity.Objects such as rocks are displayed as hard objects so you will need to adjust for that so its not blinding your view of seeing fish hanging off those rocks and the bottom. The sharpness is something that I use often as well. This is great when you are trying to highlight fish if you might be unsure. Usually for catfish I put it on low if I want to highlight them a little better, but for smaller fish you can turn that up to medium or even high to make that streak really stand out. You will notice that the the higher you turn up the sharpness the more it will distort the image and make it grainy. Sharpness you will notice kind of takes away from the overall image and highlights just the fish. So if you are looking for that crystal clear image then turning the sharpness down to low or off with make things a lot clearer. Also if you are scanning for cover on the bottom that may hold fish feel free to stretch that imaging range out 150ft on both sides but if you are only scanning for fish depending on what size screen you have keep it around 50-100ft of total scan. The reason for this is when you are scanning 300 total feet (150ft on both sides of the boat) it makes it hard for you to notice a a good fish in a 300ft span. If you back that down to around 120 total feet of scan you will be able to see those fish a lot easier and they will appear much larger on the screen getting your attention.That is something that will make your image more clear as well. I hope this helps you guys and feel free to let me know if I can help anymore! Kaleb
Are some fish round
What system is that
Timothy Mcvay That is the Humminbird 1198si Timothy!
How does he know there catfish and not carp?
Tennessee Flipper it has a setting where it gives u the option to only show the size your looking for like u can pick crappie to blue gills bass or striped and catfish
Best money i ever spent was 1198 ci si Bird.
