Thread: Humminbird background colors

Day time Amber is best for me. Dark or really overcast days seems to be blue for my eyes. You just have to try them because we don’t all see the same way. But those are good starting points.

X2! I get stuck in a rut and need to experiment more!

For me I use blue as fish will show up as white as I only look for fish I run my SI chart speed faster as this elongates fish and easier for me to pick them out. I do not care what is on the bottom, I am not looking for the perfect picture or what something looks like until I do find fish. Find fish then I will swing around and go over the area slower and use DI and SI on different passes to figure out how the fish are relating to the structure they are on.

Don't rule out Inverse ...

Rickie is that a picture from running on simulator mode. I like the way that shows up on screen.
