    yes.. as long as you are over fish, and they are big enough to show a fish symbol... (there are Fish ID sensitivity settings and what size symbols you want to show on the screen... check those too)

    So i went out today with my fish Id on and I still cant see the fish image. I put it on jig mode and it was doubling my water depth so i turned it off and depth was reading correctly. What am i doing wrong to see the fish image? My fish ID is on.

    I was at the same lake as above on Wednesday and was using current software with one of my 1198's. I used Switchfire Clear, 83/200 kHz, Jigging mode on, Chart speed at 5 which is the GPS speed, and Default Sensitivity for both 2D and FishID.

    Mine is just the opposite. The jigging mode screwed mine up

    My 798ci SI Combo works the same way for FishID and both 1198's work the same way with the pre-83 kHz glitch software. All core units should do the same.

    I don't have a XX9 model but all the XX7 and XX8 models I have used including the 800 and 900 series work the same.
    The Matrix 97 I used to have worked the same also.

    The ONIX needs some software changes to make it work similar.


    I could only guess that maybe re-installing the current software may fix it.

    You will have to go back to a previous software version and then go forward again......I know, kind of a pain .....When you do the update, don't have anything but power connected to the unit and reset defaults before and after.

    Just don't go backwards any further than the release that came on the unit ..... I always save all my previous updates on my computer......If you have only updated once, you don't have that option.
    If you don't know what release came on the unit, call HB customer service and they can tell you ..... If you talk to them real sweet they may send it to you.
