I didn't know there was a season , I fish for them year round and catch them year round. Thumbs Up

have not gone back to the arches yet, as fish symbols is what i have always used. now that they are showing up fine, i will start tweaking the arches, by adjusting the transducer (sonar) a little. wanted to get it set just right for the symbols and then readjust from there for the arches-----------i think!!!!!!!!!

Ok good to hear/read you got it figured out----2 things once u got it tuned don't forget to do two things first save all those great setting to a SDHC card so u don't lose/forget them and post here? some/all those setting so others can try them out. Maybe we could start a discussion what setting to use under what water conditions etc.................... Oh seeing as u using a Low maybe better to start new thread rather to use thread title that speaks unhealthy about HB.
