Finally got out on the water with my new Helix 10 Mega. I was seeing some awesome fish shadows when I realized I couldn’t remember how to save screenshots! Thank goodness for cell service & YouTube! So this was the only interesting screenshot before my 6 yr old son decided he’d had enough & we called it a day.
And I welcome any adjustment input, so if you see something I should tweak, please sing out!
Anyway, more to come I’m sure, once our winds settle down a bit here in NW OK.
Nice screen shot.
nice pic,looks like someone needs to have a tire sell
Nice.

Nice wonder if there is anything in there I can put on my truck
Open up your Chirp sweep frequency more - the unit can Chirp Mega from 1125-1300 kHz (1.125-1.3 MHz) and you'll get more range and sharper images.
Looks good!~
Those are weird looking fish!!!!
:tongue
And you might want to eliminate the GPS coordinates from future screen shots! ;)
Those are some big tires to show as that size at 100ft SI Range ...

I thought it was a bluegill bed :Rofl
SFW - Good input; I’ll go figure out how to do that. Thanks!
Yeah, if I was trying to hide a hotspot...I caught one accidental largemouth, so you’re welcome to it!Quote:

I wondered about that; this is the cool side of a power plant lake, and these were along one of the riprap walls not all that far from the discharge chute, but on the outside edge of the chute. I’m assuming they were put there for some form of erosion control, maybe? That or maybe they’re scrap or leftovers from the plant construction?Quote:

Can you please explain what you're talking about for those of us who are technoligically challenged? I have a MEGA and I have no idea what you're talking about.Quote:

It's all in the newer manual, and you can download them off HB site - they also explain this in v1.35 and later software release notes.
You adjust the sliders for your upper & lower frequency ranges there.
HTH.

Here’s a fun fact I learned on my 2nd outing...if you reformat your SD card and use the wrong file format (say, ExFAT for example), your HB Mega won’t recognize the SD card and you won’t be able to save screenshots. So, even if you run across an old sunken rowboat, for instance, you won’t have any really cool images to share online...just blurry, cell phone pics of your screen with a ton of background reflection, and nobody wants to see that.
Lesson learned, when reformatting SD cards, use FAT (or some version thereof...FAT32, etc.).
Has to be FAT32 only....On a Linux operating system no less!
