    Fishing all my new way points

    I am spending the winter learning all that I can about my new units. On the bow I have a mega di helix 10g3 with a mega 360 and an altrex tm linked. Say I have a long point falling from 8 feet to 15 feet on the side. I have a set of way points marking the trail I’d like to follow. It’s a very long point.I could use a split screen with my map and use the go to feature or just go from one way point to the next manually. What would be the best second screen. And how would you fish it for bass.

    How I would "fish it" is scan it first with 2D/SI, if any are fish are located, use the 360 to hold position, and only "fish" where the fish are. That way you can include the chance of catching when fishing. Makes no sense to fish where there are no fish.
    I would use the H10 DI unit for full screen 360 and have other stuff displayed on another unit next to it. That other unit can be a smaller lower cost unit or another H10.



    Have 360 Navigation turned on so you can see your waypoints on the 360 view if you think you need them.

    Thank Wayne, that make sense. Would my side imaging tell me where on the slope (depth) they would be holding

    Side Imaging/Down Imaging/2D sonar will show fish wherever they are:

    Is it better to use 455 kHz in si search mode? Then after finding fish or interesting structure switch to 800 or mega when going back over fish? Is there a certain pattern you use for using the different freguencies?
    I BELIEVE!!!!

    I use the MEGA frequency if at all possible depending on the water conditions or if I even have MEGA Imaging. The screen shot in post #5 was with a unit prior to MEGA Imaging.
