Now retirement is coming up I am looking to replace my Gen1 helix 7 inch and put it up front and get a 2GN or 3GN 9 or 10 inch Humminbird. Now My question is anybody out there scanning docks for crappie and how are those units doing? I like to start shooting docks more. Any success?

I have the 9 gen 2 love it but haven’t been too successful in side scanning dock. Need to spend more time with different settings to see what’s best.

I’ve heard don’t upgrade from gen2 to gen 3 bc not much change. Gen 1 to gen 3 is huge change
Thanks. I have Gen 1 so I decided to get the Helix 9 inch Gen 3. Going today with Brewtt to get. I will post pics when I get it Running.Quote:

Might have a better price with Brian at bbg marine (think that’s the right one). Hear many people recommend. Might save some cash over big box cabellas or bass pro
Yes,I would check with Brian before I bought, he had a better deal on the trolling motor I bought, well satisfied.Quote:

Good luck and have fun with your new toy. I hope one will find it's way under the Christmas tree this year! Hope to see some pictures soon!
Thanks for the happy thought and helping I checked and they are the same price. It seems pricing is locked in everywhere until Humminbird discontinues and 2gn are discontinued so there are good buys out there if you can find them for 2gn. 3gn was the same price at BBG marine.Quote:

Then when looking under docks, troll as close to the docks you are searching as possible. Simply doing that one thing will make seeing fish much easier. Hope this is helpful. Good luck with your new toy.

Depending on the side the transducer is on and the side the docks are on
