Using satellite imagery with your Humminbird Helix can give you an edge by providing detailed visuals of both land and water features. Here’s how to make the most of this feature.
-
Enabling Satellite Imagery: Press the Menu Key once while on the Chart View, scroll to Layers, and select Aerial Imagery. You can choose between Land or Land and Water imagery.
-
Fishing Shallow Water: Satellite imagery is particularly useful in shallow or clear water, allowing you to see grass lines, laydowns, and other shallow structures that might not be visible on traditional contour maps.
-
Aerial Transparency: Adjust the transparency to balance the visibility of satellite imagery with your map’s depth color palette. This helps you maintain a clear view of both the map and the imagery.
Incorporating satellite imagery into your fishing strategy can help you locate hidden structures and fish-holding areas that others might miss, giving you a significant advantage on the water. Make sure to checkout Fishfinder Coach to get all the best settings for your fishfinder.
