Thread: CHIRP and Sonar Hub

Hawk,thanks for the reply and thats another good shot,but the reason that im asking for a side by side is to not only observe the better crispness but to all look for the superior target separation to compare at the 25 ft. +-
Even though these are not identical targets,when I zoom in I do see the pizalation in the non churp but I can't tell target separation without the two pitures being identical targets

Even if you had a unit that would point you straight to where the fish were, told you what mood they were in, what color they currently preferred, etc. ... you still have to GO fishing, before any unit will make a difference. People caught fish before there was any such thing as a Depthfinder, let alone one with all the capabilities of today. How ?? They went fishing ... often !! They learned about the fish they sought ... what it ate, where it hid, what conditions were best/worst, and what bait & techniques/presentations were the most efficient at catching them. Trial & error, and word of mouth, taught them.

$1000 would allow me to take at least four 2-3day fishing trips ... whereas another $1000 worth of electronics wouldn't really make the fishing any more productive (even if I could afford to make the same number of trips).

Old school Technology is still better then no Technology. I am not saying you need every new gadget that comes along but I can tell you one thing. My fishing success has skyrocketed since I added my SI/DI locators to the boat. I spend less time hoping there is a fish in the pile and more time finding the pile with the fish and catching fish instead of wishing I was catching fish. I only get to fish on weekend. I only get so much time on the weekend to fish. No doubt the more time spent doing something the more you will learn about that craft. But if you only have some much time why not shift the odds in your favor with a few gadget? I use to hope for a good day of fishing. Now, for the most part, I go out and make the day a good one. I feel I owe much of this to my locators. The money spent will never be recovered in the fish caught, for me anyway, but if I can use a tool to accomplish my goal then let me have it.

I wonder how many use a boat to fish these lakes? Lets just all start bank fishing again. Boats are great technology themselves. Do we need them? I have heard of guys that have won tournaments from the bank. Making pros look silly. They are not even using paper graphs from the bank.

Just my two cents. Several good post on this tread. thanks to everyone for sharing.
