    Ok, Let me say this. This video is possible the best Introduction to FNG'S for the 360 EVER put on U tube.
    Bloody awesome.
    I am a fishing guide in Nth Qld Australia.
    I have just started using 360 and about to move into live.
    I have watched 20 or so U tube Video's about 360.
    Every one of them confused me a tad.
    Your 360 intro was farking amazing.
    I totally understood everything.
    You are now on my Xmas list.
    Thank you soooo much for making it soooo easy.

    I fish the St. John’s River, and for me personally on my helix 10 I use color palette 4, the greenish brown one, and set my sensitivity to 8-12 and keep my contrast on 16, they’ll look like moon craters! Hope this helps!

    Chuck, use your chirp sonar in some scenarios and you will have a double hard line on the chirp view. Look for double red, that means super hard bottom and getting a double bounce. Great video!

  • @finmanpoozie4756

    What a fantastic video!! You did an exceptional job explaining the back of the boat compared to seeing structure. It's something I've never taken into consideration when looking @these. Until now, I didn't know how or if they were networkable either... that's super helpful!! Big thumbs up & now subscribed.

    One of the better Mega360 tutorials for dummies like me. I fished tourn in 80s b4 elec. not even trolling motors. Anchors to set certain area / hot spots. Keep these videos & updates cuz Im hqving to learn 1st grade material cuz I wouldnt know beds from sunken ships. Im still trying to learn best elec. & what or how you know what or where bass are from bait , cats, hybrids, etc. Thanks, please tag me as you do new tutorials for corn fed fat ol guys. Im trying to get a tourn basscat set up for my son that lives & breath bass fishing & tourn.. God Bless

  • @The_Garmin_Guru

    I have a question. If you can see the talons where is the return of the foot of the motor. I can definitely see the talons

    • @ChuckPippinBassFishing
      @ChuckPippinBassFishing  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Good question. You probably can, but there’s a lot of interference that close to the surface because of the hull of the boat is blocking most of the view. I think the talons are only visible because they go through the entire water column.

  • @markr543
    @markr543 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Thanks Chuck! Had my first real trip with my new Mega 360 last week and I'm still learning how to use it and when. Have you tried using the 360 SI yet? I tried it a couple of times but I don't see much use for it since I have SI on the transom mount. You probably already know this but I just learned this. By holding down the "View" button for a couple of seconds, a menu will pop up with all of your viewing options. I find it easier to do that than click through each view to find the one I am looking for. Also, I have a Gen3 on the bow which allows me to share the 360 image with my Gen2 on the console. Anyway, good job and keep it up!

    Thanks. Liked. How do you follow a school near the surface? It seems that mist of what the 360 is showing is the bottom. My lake is 50 feet deep but the schools are usually about 5 feet below surface. Would this work very well just to tack the surface fish that is swimming actively around a big circle?

    Hey Chuck, your “how to” videos are the best. E.g. I love your vid on lipless rattletraps. I have two that I haven’t used in 50 years. I can’t wait to fish them using your ideas.
    I’m trying to learn how to find submerged Hydrilla. I have a Mega 360 & Helix 10. From your vid I think if I see a black area on the view, it could be submerged Hydrilla. I can rip a diving crankbait thru the black area, if it’s Hydrilla it’ll show up on the hooks. Will Hydrilla always show on Mega 360 as a black area?

I have seen it stated on forums that the total length is 39" with it being 35 1/2" to the wet switch. Pairing it with an Ultrex 60" on a Pro V and need the extra length.

    Hi Chuck, everything you said is the absolute truth! I have both the older version of 360, and now the mega. I was wondering if you have considered the acquisition of HB's version of live view? From all I've seen elsewhere, it doesn't seem to match up to the Garmin in image quality, so I've been holding off for now, hoping that HB will improve theirs soon. I'll keep watching to see if you do, and your usage of it!

      The MEGA 360 transducer will connect to your Helix & Solix GPS/Sonar units. The 360 sells for around $1,200.

    so can I hook up a mega 360 on just one helix 10 mega si+ gen3. would I need a switch, ethernet and hub in order to do so?

      Yep, you can. You don’t need a switch. It simply displays on a separate view, or you can split the view with map, sonar, etc. you’ll need a splitter if you want to hook up a 2d sonar to it.

      @@ChuckPippinBassFishing Awesome so if I am reading this right... I personally have a HELIX 7 MEGA SI/DI G3N. Your saying I could plug in both MEGA SI/DI Transducer AND the 360 Transducer into the same head unit. Just toggle the views I want or split screen? IF yes, I know how I am spending my allocated Christmas funds!

      Mike Bruehl Unfortunately, I don’t think they work with the Helix 7.

    I got a couple buddies that want to go fishing there not big Fisherman's they like to Shiner fish what would you say Butler or Tahoe

      Either one is good. Butler is probably a little easier, but the public ramp at Butler is still closed.

    Just got mine, finally and really like what I'm seeing so far. Anxious to spend some time with it. Do you need to put a network cable to tie it to console Helix unit?

      Jim Johnson that’s great! Yes, mine are linked through a network cable

    Great video Chuck. I currently have the MEGA+ side imaging with an eye on getting the MEGA 360 this spring. In the video you commented about the rings on the screen being 13'8" from the transducer. In side imaging you need take into account the depth of the water column when determining distance from the boat. For example, if the water depth is 8', then you have to subtract 8' from the depth marker lines. So if the first depth marker line is 15' then it would actually only be 7' away.
    If true for the MEGA 360 then in your video, would the first ring be actually 10'3" away if you were in 3' of water?
    Hope I explained my question clearly but just trying to understand everything before jumping in and buying. Thanks!!

      When my Talons are down, they’re about 2/3 of the way between the lines of the 1st & 2nd ring, which would be 21’ - 22’. So, I don’t think the water column is a factor
