Thread: Best HB SI setting for seeing Crappie

I use the lowrance setting!

Kag,i have a 998 also,as for color ,the color that best for your eyes,i use the orange,try to match your speed to that of boat and go 2 t0 3 miles an hour,the setting are close from factory,in hard bottom use less senistivity and soft bottom may have to up it a little.but straight out of box should see fish if not going fast,others will chine in,but just for basic to see fish you should be ok

I normally use...:

Inverse pallette
800kHz SI
200kHz 2d
Max Depth 80ft (deepest part of my home lake is 70ft)
SI Range 60-75ft (1 side only IF searchin for bream beds)
Sensitivity to match bottom hardness
Contrast 10-12
Sharpness Off (unless I want the white fish echoes to pop out better)

Thank you for the helpful advice

I forgot to mention I use 455kHz SI when I'm searching for suspended fish or new structure out to the sides...(SI image is brighter out to the edges of the image)...

800kHz SI is what I normally use for fishing waypoint to waypoint...(because I'm interested in image detail in this method)...

So you can have another opportunity to give a useless reply, what brand of microwave do you own? That answer should be very helpful to him.

Good infor...
