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!Quote:

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 ...

Inverse ??? didnt see anything about it reading what I downloaded from HB on the Helix units
Rickie is that a picture from running on simulator mode. I like the way that shows up on screen.
Nope ... Live scanning Asian carp ...Quote:

There are times I actually like the inverse just depends on conditions.
I typically use the amber palette, but I may try inverse after seeing Ricky’s post. The Blue has just never popped for me. Everyone’s eyes are different I guess.

Don't get stuck on one color palette. It can vary for me depending on lighting, sunglasses, and whether I'm at console or bow. If I'm not seeing anything, the inverse sometimes shows they are there.
Very true everyone is different for looking at structure Amber for me works great but for finding fish the amber to me hides a lot of fish looking for that white mark from fish.
What color do you prefer for when strictly looking for fish?Quote:

That is why my scroll speed is set faster as fish will show as longer white marks, makes it easier for me to see them versus a tiny spec.. Rocks are the hardest to pick fish out of when SI`ing rock I will turn down my sensitivity, may not even see the rock but fish will still show up as white marks.
Sorry, I missed your initial post where you said all that. My bad.Quote:
