Can you guys recommend/put me in touch with someone that will go out on my boat with me and help me get my graphs set up? I have helix's. I've watched video after video and everyone does something different to their graphs and I just want to be able to understand it all. I don't think that mine is displaying at nearly the capacity that it could.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
In the event you decide to use Mr. Maples would you please provide details? Kind of in the same boat.
I booked Wesley yesterday and can give you a positive honest review. I'm a little budget minded and at first wondered about the price but saw that DJS recommended him so I decided to try him out.
He went over my electronics in the parking lot, found the transducer mounted wrong and made adjustments. After about 45 minutes we put in and he spend another 45 minutes setting up the units from factory defaults. The difference was amazing, I'd compare it to the old days when you finally got the tv channel to come into crisp focus. He spend another hour driving my boat to show me different kinds of structure and explaining what I was seeing, really amazing, some of the things I thought was clouds of shad were actually boulders, couldn't tell the difference before. The last hour and a half or so he had me drive around scanning for bass, he told me conditions that would hold bass and I looked for the high current areas he described, bingo! found a school of bass. He showed me how to mark the school and line up the boat to fish them. After a few tries I caught a nice largemouth on a football jig. After more than 4 hours I left him at the dock and went back out on my own to different places I'd tried before with no luck and marked 4 places before re-positioning my boat and casting to them. Out of 4 spots I caught fish on 3 of them.
I'm just learning bass fishing after a lifetime of striper and hybrid, his instruction left me confident I can take friends out and put them on fish, that's worth the money in my book. If nothing else it'll save me a lot of gas idling around casting at sonar returns that isn't fish.
He didn't spend a lot of time explaining frequencies and how the sonar works, if you want that I'm sure he'll cover it. I took pictures of all the settings so if I make an adjustment I can always go back to his settings. He focused on getting the units performing perfectly then explaining how to use them to catch bass, turned out to be exactly what I needed.
Thanks to Johnny and the other forum-ers for recommending him!.
