This has most likely been asked a thousand time but here is a thousand and one. I have two new Helix 10 DI gen 1 units I put on my boat just last year. The units work great I really like them ....now he is the BUT....I guess I just don't have them set on the right settings. I most often fish weed areas so I don't expect to be seeing fish, my bait and things like that I see the weed beds great, I can see heavy vs scattered, weed lines all that great. Now I go out in places like Lake Erie when it large clean bottoms, I see bottom fine but very few fish ( I know the story there has to be fish to see them) even when I know they are there. I have never been able to see my bait like a jig or jigging spoon. I can be side by side with friends and they say they are graphing a lot of fish I look and see bottom. I talk with friends that say they love watching a smallie taking their bait on their graph....I can't see my bait.
What am I doing wrong, I am not a newbie I have done this for 45 years but now have some higher end units and still can't get these views...why?
