  • We're ice fishing with Humminbird Mega Live! There has been lots of talk about this new live imaging technology from Humminbird and it's finally here. In this video I show some screen captures from my first few days on the ice and as well give my first impressions on this new release. Thanks for subscribing!

    In general, the TI units are faster in response to inputs. This is seen when quickly switching between sonar, downscan, chart, and split screens th-cam.com/users/postUgkxeAxH15LxhjGlg5-CRYqjTGTEH0tbY4vk recommend The Hook units will show some lag on button pushes and screen switching. The big ticket item though is maps. If you install a mapping card such as Navionics or the free C-Map Genesis which has a lot of map detail, then moving around the map with the cursor or when running down the lake can lag significantly on the Hook units, but is seamless with the TI units.

    Great video. Some day I'll be able to get one. Last year a couple guys were just checking their unit out on the ice and they let me watch. The guy with the unit was directing his buddy who had the auger over a school of suspended crappies. Each time he drilled a hole over the crappies they would immediately move away from where he was drilling. Cool to watch the crappies reaction to the auger.

    I have the same issue with my mega 360 of it saying out of water when going back into a hole when hole hopping, I found that ice builds up on the 2 small metal sensors on the transducer so you just have to put your finger on them to melt the ice and good to go. Appears that transducer has the same sensors
