    Default Nice SI Pic of Feeding Crappie!


    This shot was taken of crappie busting a school of shad! I wasn't out to fish but I grabbed my jig pole and pitched it out forward of the boat. As soon as it settled down to 10 feet, "BAM" 1-1/4 lber!! Messed around and spooked 'em trying to get more shots.

    Nice- do you mind posting your settings- may help some of us get ours dialed in a little better.

    Hey Tommyboyrn, I'll have to check all the settings and get back with you on that. I did have to do a lot of "tweeking". One thing I did was to go into SI Enhance and DI Enhance and enabled "Sharpness" and adjusted the "Contrast" one way or the other until I liked it. Main thing is only Side Scan about 40 feet for the best resolution. Chart speed about 3 to 5 and boat speed the same.
