Title: Hook n' Look Splash #14 - Side-Imaging Rock Humps
Post by: DannyStricker on December 19, 2012, 05:06:48 PM
On Hook n' Look Splash #14 our good friend Chris Sprangers accompanies Kim on a northern Wisconsin lake. They will use Humminbird Side-Imaging while idling over Rock Humps to find the productive Smallmouth bass areas.

This video focuses on explaining the shadows created by the Side-Imaging beam.  If you can understand the shadows they you will be able to tell what is a large rock or pile of rocks.  Then distinguish the bass holding around it.  We will use our unique underwater point of view to really show you the bottom content.

Enjoy  :o

That was a very helpful video. I've been in a few boats this season with new 'side imagers' and have been asked about interpretation each time. I'm still learning myself.

Mike, you can take them to the lake. That is the miracle of cell phones. I know you always have the latest greatest of those. We usually have the same phone at some point.

Good Morning Guys,

Thanks for the great response on this video.  The Side-Imaging is a great tool when you can understand it.  Most people give up because it looks to complicated to understand but if you keep watching our video's and spend a little time on the water.  I know you will start to understand it.

These sgments are awesome. The side imaging is definitely tough to learn. If I remember correctly, didn't you say that you use the factory default settings?

Default Settings - always start there... it is rare that we change anything except the SI distance.  Not that the other settings aren't important at times.  But don't worry about them until you are comfortable Side-Imaging with the Default.
