Thread: winter fishing and side imaging

This image sort of messes with my mind !
Maybe I will have to wait for 360 degree imaging.

You can tell how tall in the water column the school was by the long shadow it produced.

Guesstimating the school was 40 ft wide x 100ft + long x 20ft tall

how does the hummingbird SI compare to the Lowrance?

Not sure about the Humminbird SI but here are a few pics from my 7 HDS downscan on Russell. Was checking out a channel drop I have fished a lot in the past. Never knew why the fish worked the drop like they did until now.

Sniper, I think Humminbird is pretty good but I am not able to compare them. They all must be good or you would hear someone busting on a products quality. I can change a sensor and get picture perfect images but it will not show fish. I just use the down image and 2d to find fish. But looking around the side imaging comes in handy to see what you missed. Lowrance Eagles was all I ever used before my Hummingbird. I have the H998c and use of a H999c and both do pretty good.

I have a DI Hummingbird Unit, now I want the side scan.....seems like I'm in fairly shallow water most of the time & I believe the SI would work better in that situation.....very cool pics Ronnie! That looks like a hot spot....just needs a Christmas tree or two!
