Wonderful videos Ryan. Love your dad. It was a pleasure running into you and Cassie at the Friday Harbour Marina. My son Damiano and I are so grateful you two took the time to go over some sonar tips and lake trout tips. Your a gentleman. Let you know when we get our first laker.

Sam, great chatting with you too! 80% of the battle is setting the depth sounder up. If you can't see them, you can't catch them because it's a game of cat and mouse. But remember, you won't originally see anything. They are hugging the bottom so tightly they will be one with the ground. They will eventually move up from the ground when they become interested. You won't see them until then. When they come off the bottom, you need to start reeling so they think your lure is running from them, so the settings are so important! If the bottom is 110 ft, keep your lure no lower than 80 ft (30 ft from bottom) so they can start to chase you and you have time to react. Then REEL and run away.. they will eventually catch you like at 50-60 ft and the fight will be on! Cassie and I are excited to hear when you hook up your first. It takes some practice, but you'll get it - then you'll be hooked :) Good luck!

Fish On , great presentation and timely! I am a lake trout fisherman on Lake of the Woods with a 1197 Bird. Your work is so good it has convinced me to get those special SOLIX units I have been eyeing for quite some time. Hope to see a few more presentations in the near future. Again Well Done!

I think this was very help full.. I was on Lake O or of Burlington Wednesday trying to jig something up , I got discouraged after awhile as I couldn't see my lure on the bottom, maybe only the fiirst 40ft then it would disappear... Definitely going to dig into the settings some more and try to figure this out . Cool video👍..

Thanks for the comments. It sounds like you might have had clear mode on and/or your sensitivity turned down too low. Also, if you aren't using your medium sonar beam you won't see your lure if it wanders off to the side too much. Tight lines and good luck!

Awesome video. Definately some homework for the upcoming season. I'd be curious about your jigging gear setup. Favourite Rod/Reel, Lure, etc. Thanks!
@fishontv6834

Thanks for the idea! I've been thinking about doing something like that. Now that you suggested it, I certainly will make a video soon and demonstrate my setup and what works for me. Hopefully it can help others succeed as well! But in short, the rod of choice I use for jigging large lake trout is an Okuma NI-S-762H. It's not a flashy rod, but it does the job perfectly nice and allows me to get the fish up without tiring it out too much. I like to combine that with a Shimano Stradic 3000XG. The reel is expensive, but I really love it and it works fantastic. Basically, any rod that has a good spine on it so you can set the hook when it's 80 ft down is fine. The lure of choice that I prefer is a 4" white swimbait. Hope this helps!

@@adamcrognale Thank you :) I use my riggers only when fishing for Salmon on the great lakes. I've trolled for lake trout before, but jigging them is so much more fun and effective than trolling. With jigging, you can play the fish, and respond to what it does. Trolling covers more ground, but it's not nearly as effective as jigging when targeting lake trout.

First time viewing this site. Great presentation and thanks for the Helix settings. Question: I have owned an older Humminbird Helix 10 SI ver 2 for several years. Have messed a ton with Settings, Sonar, etc while fishing the Mississippi River. I seldom see the fish on sonar, Down Image or Side Image. I blamed the stained, dirty river but will try your settings next time on the water. Could clear, Great Lakes water be an advantage? Would buying a Garmin LiveScope 10" Ultra complement the Helix SI?

Good info, thank you. Is Down imaging of any use for Lake trout fishing. I am thinking about buying a new fish finder and have to decide between all the options. I fish mostly for Lake Trout. My thinking is that down imaging is not that useful for my intended target. Open to others opinion with good reasoning.

No. I have not found a use for down imaging when jigging for lake trout. You should focus on 2D jigging mode.

That's a great question. However, I haven't found a way to do something like that. There might be a way, however I don't change my settings enough to have it been an issue. When I fish for lakers, I typically am setup that way for multiple days until I go on the hunt for salmon. And when I hunt for salmon, I typically use very similar settings. Maybe someone else knows a way and can add a comment.

You say have a chart speed of like 10, another guy said have it at like 4 for jigging. Which one is better at 200 feet deep?
@TechExposedTV
2 ай бұрын
You will have to play with it. 200 feet is pretty deep. However, if you can get data from the bottom at 200 feet with a quick chart speed, that's always going to give you quicker data than a slower chart speed. Play with it and let us know what works better for you.

I have not tried settings on hard water. The idea here is to show you what the settings do and get you half way there. Every body of water will be different. Armed with this video and knowledge of the settings, and now you can see what you are looking to accomplish, you should be able to dial it in with some practice. Good luck!

Hummingbird should invent something to place in front of the leur that makes it show up on the screen electronically. A return ping transponder. Although that could get expensive if your line breaks off. Snags.

It would be nice, wouldn't it? However, I'm pretty convinced that the proper dialled-in settings will always show you lure as long as it's within the sonar cone. Make sure to play around with your sonar for hours at a time. Mastering your sonar will net your more fish, period :)
