    Smile Baiting or Teasing your Fish finder for some fine tuning.


    I watched a frustratingly poorly presented vid from YouTube tonite on this subject.

    He had good stuff, good photos, and he knew his stuff.
    But to his audience, he never pointed out what he was talking about. I couldn't see what he was trying to get me to see.
    I didn't get very much out of the show.

    His process was:
    He dribbled a small jig 30 Ft ~ under his FF. Raising and lowering it, while changing the Sensitivity until the little Jig began to show on his FF as an Arc with a little red Dot where the Head bone of the Jig was.

    Later he went to Real fish. On his FF and the same thing happened. A little Red dot at the Head of the fish.
    He had Side Scan which was really confusing as he never addressed what his audience saw on the screen. I was lost!

    How many of you guys have done this? And did it work for you?
    I don't have Color. Mine's a Hummingbird I think. I have three of them on two Boats and cannot remember all of them.Name:  barn boats 002.jpg

    But they all have a Sensitivity setting. Normally, I just put them on Auto and live with what I get.

    I'd sure like to hear from the Experts on this forum about this process.
    I just wish I could be better at fishing. Or maybe luckier!:D

    Wondering if it was team stockyards "blues on sonar"? If so , that is an awesome video that gets you where you need to be on your sensitivity settings.!!!

    I can't say for certain because I didn't save the Link. I went to YouTube looking for your link. Found some by Team stockyards but not the Bad one.

    I'm stuck with a small amount of downloads so I can't go to YouTube and spend a lot of time searching until after 2 AM.

    That's a Huge Lake they fish on!

    If that eagle cuda is your FF it is a Lowrance product not a Humminbird.

    LOL, I have three Fish finders. Two on one boat and one on the little Row boat.
    I only had a photo of the Cuda, to give you guys the idea that I had the Cheap ones. Not side scan or color.

    We're in a Heat wave right now and I'm not allowed out for Health reasons. So I'm getting ready for my 'first time' out this summer. I'll sit out there and play with that thing (them things) till I know what it'll do for me with tuning or just letting it find it's own best settings.

    Haha, on the feathers joke.

    You have the basic principle down, adjust to see the jig without a ton of screen clutter. Instead of red you are looking for black not a shade of gray.
