    Default Anyone use a Wide Vision Humminbird?


    I found my brother's old Humminbird Wide Vision and ordered a transducer from the company. Put it all together tuesday and went out wednesday, but have no luck seeing any of the condos I put out. I like the size of the screen, but I don't think I will like it too much if it is just a glorified depth finder and themometer. I know that I am over the Condos and I know that I hooked everything up right, I just get the contour of the bottom and the depth. I think the cheap eagle cuda that I have been using has better view of the structure and bottom. Does anyone know anything about these things. Is there a way to set the unit to see the condos, they're bamboo, or am I just using a unit that does not have the capabilities I am looking for. I do like the size of the screen and the temp feature, but it does me no good if there is no structure being shown.

    Hey Jake -

    Have you tweaked the sensitivity level?

    Also, older condos might not show up as nice as a new bushy condo.

    Sounds like you need to adjust the sensitivity and it will work better.

    I have fiddled with the sensitivity with no difference in structure, but I did find a manual online and will try something new today. If it works I will be pleased. Let you know how it goes. Also the condos are one week to three months old.
