    Default Weirdest Thing You've Ever Seen On Your Sonar Screen?


    So, I had a previously unexplained thing I saw on my sidescan sonar several times. Last year I couldn't take it any more and brought my scuba gear and figured out that it was the top part of a sunken houseboat that was resting on a muddy bottom. Way too large of a houseboat for that bayou so I'm guessing it flooded in from the river at some point.

    I saw on another forum that I frequent that they actually solved a missing persons case from decades earlier when they posted a sidescan image of a sunken car that was right by where an old bridge was decades earlier.

    Anybody else ever see anything unexplained or crazy on any of your electronics?

    I have seen quite a few stories of folks with sidescan finding missing persons who car crashed into the lake/river. We a case on my favorite lake in which a young lady came up missing on her way home from work in 1978. She ran off a bridge and into the lake. I have to think that many fisherman had seen the car via sidescan but never thought it was a missing persons car. One did report it and the cops craned the car out of the lake and confirmed it was her. At least the family knows what happened now. The only thing I have found is a sunken jon boat.

    Was fishing on Toledo Bend lake over a brush pile when a Loon popped up close to the boat. When it went back down I was watching my live scope and the Loon went swimming under the boat! Dang they can swim fast!
