12-16-19 Report

I got out Monday for a few hours. The fish that were setup on the brushpiles for the past few months appear to have finally moved. Some are still in the creeks but the ones that I found have moved out to the main lake. Caught about 40 on my homemade jigs, mostly vertical jigging IN the brush and rocks. You had to put it right on their nose to get a bite. Caught some nice size fish, a 16" white that weighted right on 2lbs, a chubby black that went 1lb, 12oz, several more 1.5 and 20 or so more 1lb+. Here are a few screenshots. Hope to get back out soon, :)

That almost looks like cheating.:rolleyes: Sonar don't make them bite but it sure helps to know they are fish there for sure. I only have the Humminbird 899 SI but it has sure helped my catch ratio. Thanks for sharing the report and great pictures.

Very nice.

Wish we had that kind of crappie fishing up this way.

Looks like you have the HB and Garmin dialed in for very effective search and catch.

Nowhere to hide! LOL

Thanks for sharing.

Good looking images and fish

Nice work Roy! Those mega images just can’t be beat ! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks!
At the console I have a 10" Helix Mega SI/DI G2N unit networked to a 12" Helix Mega DI G2N unit. No transducer connected to the 12" unit, all images are shared from the 10" unit. I also have the lowQ DI transducer connected to the 10" Helix via y cable for improved 2d images. On the 12" screen I mainly keep it on side imanaging. I run maps, 2d, and DI in various conbanations on the 10" Helix
I now have the Garmin Echomap Ultra 122 unit with the 12" screen on the bow of my boat running Livescope only. No maps, no other transducer. For me I get everything I need from Livescope. I started with an Echomap 93sv plus unit but struggled to see the screen in bright sunlight. This is not an issue with the Ultra.
Really loving my setup, Find fish and structure with my Birds, fish for them with my Livescope.

Great pics but that's one ugly hat. :biggrin

Great pics. Really enjoy your posts because I have the 10" helix SI/DI G2N and Garmin 93 with live scope. My DI works great just wish I could get my SI dialed in half as good as you do.

Great shots and catch ! You are dialed in as always !!!

I got out again today, fished a different area, they are still biting!
I took some screenshots with Livescope I may post later.

Uncle Roy, please! Buy me a Helix 12 mega si/di G3 for Christmas. I have been good all year! :Rofl Good stuff Roy, I'm glad you are a part of crappie.com to help us find our way through all the changes that are coming out from HB/ Garmin.
Merry Christmas to you! :ThumbsUp

BigDawgg, are you sure you've been good ALL year, lol!
I wish I could get you and me both a 12" Helix Mega+ unit but I know that I haven't been that nice!
I hope my close friend Santa surprises you on Christmas. :)
Merry Christmas to all!!!

Wow, that's some great images, I wish I knew how to dial in a unit to read that well!!! Thanks for sharing!!

Outstanding shots! Roy shared his settings and I have similar electronics but I can’t get close to that screenshot clarity. I find myself looking for posts by Roy before looking at anything else. Thanks, Roy, and wish we lived closer together so we could fish together.

Wow, thanks, this made my day. I wished you lived closer as well, I'm sure we would have a good time. I really like going out with different people and sharing ideas. I really hope my post helps somebody. I learn new things often when just going out playing around with my units. I try to spend a little time each trip just trying diffrent settings or just cruising around finding new brushpiles to fish.

I will also admit that I have been following and using Roy's image posts on this site and BBC as benchmarks in dialing in the LS and a new HB.

Thanks for taking the time and effort to share your images.

Thanks MikeF, I really appreciate all the kind words!

Super nice, congrats
