Can anyone tell me if the zero lines card is the same for all helix generations? I only see one version for sale and want to be sure it works on my unit. Thanks!

Shad Poles are the best and my favorite crappie plastic. I think the color I like is Blue Ice? Been catching tons of short Stripers and killed the flounder mid October. Couldn't take the bay tog...

We've been doing great on crabs also. I don't trotline but have been getting half a bushel in a couple hours with topless drop traps. I agree about the Flounder. The coastal bays have been dead and...

Check out this monster I caught yeaterday

I know that spot!

I have the Helix 10 SI and think its great. Have a friend with ray marine that he constantly complains about them saying the menus are too complicated. When he saw the side imaging of the Humminbird...

We catch tons of Stripers in the Maryland coastal bays, unfortunately most are small and below the limit. Still really fun to cacth 50 fish this size on medium tackle.

I have navionics platinum plus. Everything on the chart works the same it just has an overlay of a more detailed map. I really like the photo overlay with platinum plus seeing the land marks line up...

It takes time thats all. I have the ability to use my electronics a lot, sometimes 15 hours a week or more. Eventually you start to notice things that you didnt before. I can point to something on my...

Those artwo nice catches! Gave it a try yesterday moring and didnt get many, bluebird skies and windy. 15 crappie in 2 hours a white perch and a bass. Seems like the white perch run has slowed a lot...

At this time of year as the temp is fluctuating and yet to stabilize the fish will move quite a bit but usually stay generally close to where they will eventually spawn. The key to me would be the...

I have only owned SI humminbirds with DI. I always imagined the DI would be really important but have found that SI is far more important and used the vast majority of time over DI. 2d sonar gives so...

I have the 10 and looked at the 9 in the store the other day after months with the 10. The 9s screen looked great and would have been just as usable as the ten. But, that extra inch is diagonal so it...

I used to have a heck of a time starting my 35 johnson. After I learned its ways it starts 3rd pull when cold, even sub freezing cold and first pull after that. If it was run the day before it starts...

Tear-em-up, it ried the creek near my house a few times and havent gotten a bite from a perch but sid catch a carp on bloodworms. Was stopped by the DNR and he told me that the commercial guys have...

Lol, yes all of the above and a few smaller lesser known creeks. Went today to a crappie hotspot for a few hours. Water was in the upper 40s low 50s and most of the bigger crappie were still deep,...

I have to admit the DI on an SI unit is pretty much worthless, just turn it off or leave a split screen with 2d and di available just for comparison. Not sure why I get such clear detailed SI views...

Lots of reading on these boards and lots of time on the water is the only answer. Playing with the fishfinder constantly and trying all the options while on the water or in simulation mode is a huge...

Made another trip to fish the perch run and didnt do as well as the last trip. Caught 37 perch, 5 stripers, and 6 blue cats. All were caught on either blood worms or grass shrimp. I have a few...

Aesome! Im the same as you. My trolling motor and sonar are worth twice as much as I paid for the boat.

Scrat, you have a great attitude. Wish all my customers were the same. Cant wait to see some of your screen shots!

Helix 10 si

I can usually tell crappie when they are in groups of 10 - 20 fish stacked vertically. White perch are usually in much bigger schools that are more wide than they are high and are much tighter than a...

I was gonna make a post yesterday asking about your hand. It must be a bionic fishing hand since you blew me out of the water with that perch catch. I ran up that creek near my house last week and...

Lol, really cool!

Pretty sure all the helix units have straight sonar. The Helix is much crisper and brighter than the older humminbirds. Ive owned several models and even the helix 5 was brighter and crisper than the...

As far as electronics, having access to Rickie on crappie.com is a huge benefit

Electronics without a doubt. A high end fishfinder and an ipilot controlled trolling motor. Just knowing the fish are there is a huge advantage over anyone fishing blind. The ipilot lets you keep...

I rarely set the SI wider than 50 feet and i think these were taken at 45 feet. I've actually gone down down to 35 in shallow water.
