Mega images blow me away

I'm still getting use to this Helix Mega and I don't use the DI a whole lot. I was in a deep area on the river and wanted to check out the drop offs to see what if anything was holding on the bottom so to DI I swapped. I personally don't see any fish on the screen, but I could be wrong but I was blown away by the definition this unit shows.

Also, the image was much clearer on the screen than it shows in this picture. I forgot and left my SD card stuck in my laptop at home and had to resort to taking a picture of the screen with my phone.

Very nice image!!!
I have the 10 Mega but i dont think mine has that clarity, I still need to play with it and get the settings dialed in,
Again, nice pic[emoji106]

Thanks!

Seriously, the picture you see is nowhere near as clear as it was on the screen. Mine settings are straight out of the box, factory default.

Very nice pics!

And you were worried that you'd never figure it out!

Great picture!

The white marks/dots on the right of the screen "could" be fish. At that depth and speed, I don't know whether or not fish would show up any other way.

Some images I've taken with my Lowrance Elite 5DSI show fish mostly as white "dots" of varying size. I only have one screenshot that shows images that are obviously fish .... this one :

Others that I've taken show the cover in great detail, but not so much the fish ... like this one :

You will notice that my speed & the depth of water are much less than yours.

I've missed the opportunity to capture some really good screenshots showing suspended fish (loose grouping of white dots) and a group of fish at the edge of a huge ball of Shad (10' high x 20' long) ... but, I was actively engaged in pushing jigs & cranks at the time, and was more focused on trying to catch the fish than capture the screenshots.

Very cool

I love my Helix MEGA too. I have started using DI now that I have this unit. Here's some
stripers in tree tops at Canyon lake last week. The SI is also stellar.

All kinds of great images.

I like it all too. Here is a combo view from last week of a school of crappie on a steep rock drop off. You can see a school of bait above the crappie in the SI view. In the DI view in the top left corner you can see the individual fish. Took this picture with my camera, actual picture has better detail. Love my Mega!

Yes.

The pics are best right off the card & ON the display at that.... :biggrin


HUUuuge pile 0 feeSH!

:ThumbsUp

Awesome picture.

Here is a pic from my Mega 9” that I picked a few crappie off of Sat. It’s a unique hump in the very middle of a 1100 acre lake next to the main Creek channel that I found a couple of years ago that very few if any, fish it. You can catch the really big females off it in the spring.

Some great shots posted. Thanks. I'm taking some time off next week and my son and I are gonna wear out the boat seats. I hope to find some good structure and mark it.

Experiment with Upper and Lower Range to remove some of the displayed upper water column and lower bottom detail ...

It will greatly increase the size of how structure is displayed in the DI image ...

These pix are in 800kz can you change it to 1.15 mhg frequency or is this off a lowrance

Not on my unit, as it's a DI only unit, and only has 455 and 800 kHz settings.
