![]() ![]() The process is very easy, press menu and select AutoChart Live, and this menu allows you to select record which starts the process and make sure you have the AutoChart Live box checked. I suspect it will take all year to map the lake accurately since I stop to fish since fishing is more important than mapping. I have found a few spots not on the regular Navionics and Lowrance map chips and I plan to keep this map just for me since I like eating fish and secret spots are a treasure to be protected for my family. I used to do this with DrDepth and my laptop but using AutoChart Live is much easier. Notice the improvement as I collect more data. This image is showing the start of the mapping. I started mapping the closest area before I went out fishing and mapping. I use a zero lines SD card to record the data to since at the present time if you record to the internal memory you can’t get the data exported. Since I now live on a lake I decided to map it with AutoChart Live on my Humminbird ONIX. Humminbird ONIX AutoChart Live Review Posted on June 05, 2015 I use the camera to identify what I am seeing on the sonar since I teach sonar I need to be as exact as I can when i say that looks like _. The images show the school of perch and the short weeds. Too bad they were too small to fillet! Perch are one of my favorite fish to eat. The images are poor but I was able to identify them as perch. I was wondering about these fish since I was hunting bluegills and dropped the camera on another dark water lake. Nice thing about bobbers is you don’t have to pay attention and you can still catch them. I looked up and my bobber was down with a 21 ½ inch walleye. Yesterday the fish weren’t biting and I dropped the camera but there was a big algae bloom on my lake and I couldn’t see below 12 feet well. I use my Aqua-Vu Multi-Vu Camera System attached to my Lowrance Gen 3 with the optional video in power cable so we can all view the secrets of the deep on the Lowrance! Sometimes it is too much fun and I forget I am fishing. The images aren’t as good as spring and fall but I can still identify the species. I get questioned about how to use an underwater camera in summer when the algae bloom. Understanding Sonar with Aqua-Vu Posted on September 03, 2015 You may surprise yourself on how quick you can put a pattern together. So next time you are thinking about hitting the hard water take your GPS with you and do a little homework. We considered that a great success since we relied purely on our Map Card and a theory. We ended up finishing 19th out of 525 teams. We were happy with that because it was our first time ever ice fishing Lake Oahe. 5 of those walleyes being weighable fish. In a short 5 hours of fishing we had caught around 40 walleyes. Once we got the depth right, the point and shelf just funneled the migration of fish right past us. Within 2 hours we had moved the shack and all of our gear out super deep. ![]() It didn't take long and the deep tip up got bit. We then wanted to cover all depths of the point edge so we could find what depth the fish were in. ![]() We decided the best way to attack this spot was to get into position with the Lowrance GPS and Docs map card. It was Main lake point next to deep water with a nice deep ledge and feeding shelf. When we arrived at the location one spot was already taken so we went to the 2nd spot on the list. This was going to be a put all your eggs in one basket strategy due to the location and poor ice conditions. I found one area that had 3 high percentage spots within close proximity of each other so I decided that's where we were going to go tournament day. The detail of the map enabled me to narrow down my target area to only a handful of what I felt was high percentage spots. Instead I broke down Doctor Sonar map card at home on my Lowrance fish finder. With the tournament being near the holidays and having a baby in late fall I wasn't going to be able to prepare for this tournament on the water. It brought 1050 ice anglers to Lake Oahe. Last weekend was South Dakotas Largest fishing tournament of the year. Author Josh Olson Posted on JanuHome map research pays off Finding high percentage fishing spots at home. ![]()
