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. Knighty

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!

I'll keep watching to see if you do, and your usage of it! Thanks for such great videos!!

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!!
@ChuckPippinBassFishing3 жыл бұрын
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
