And just as important as fish on the side imaging is side imaging with no fish. When you see this, move on. Don't waste a minner, jig, stick of dennimite or anything cause it will be a waste of time at this location. There is more than 1 way to use side imaging. The first way is to find fish. The second is to find the places where there ain't no fish. This is from the trip over the weekend that was 2 hrs 14 minutes and 4 seconds long.

Guys, for those of us learning to use SI, if you will notice the screen shot showing the crappie JW is only looking 40 ft left and right. You have to dial your distance down to be able to see fish clearly. I have seen many guys "always" keep their units on max SI distance and never really see great detail, they are not getting the BEST usage from their units.
In order to see a school of fish or individual fish you MUST be on these lower settings. I use mine on max to say cover a wide area to see cover or rocks etc. then If I see something I want to really check out Ill scale back the distance to no more than 50 ft to see this kind of detail. Great post JW.

Very true sarge. I usually scan 2-3 times the water depth for best imagery. Once set very little changes need to be made. With the DI I usually make changes every trip for the best pix due to water and weather conditions .

Yes. Makes it easier to find JW's brush piles. If it doesn't work out, that's ok too. You see an increased value of not catching fish and appreciate it more.Originally Posted by $hane Ghent

How can you tell that those marks are crappie and not some other species of fish?

La cannot tell via the image but i fished that school and caught a goo many crappie. Couldve been white bass, large mouth or even shad. Point i guess is that without the side imaging i wouldnt have seen the school to fish and find out what they were.
