Good! Now when you go out, go through your menu and take note of the settings for contrast, sensitivity, etc. Then start playing with them.....bring sensitivity down from 10 to 8 maybe and then go back over some stuff to see the difference. Then do the same run with sensitivity at 12. You will see that you probably had your settings too low and everything but the bottom was being filtered out. That ledge looks like it might be holding fish

*Press Menu one time to open the Sonar Xpress menu ...
*Raise Sensitivity until there is an acceptable amount of clutter on the screen ...
*Back off Sensitivity one notch ...
Remember ...the Sensitivity setting is a filter that also filters out weak returns that you may want to see ...
So a small amount of clutter is less filtering ...and it's not a bad thing ...

Should the finder be set on auto or manual ?
Sensitivity is manual only ...on a sliding scale of 1-20 ...Quote:

It was set on auto next time I will change it to manual
Thanks
Is this a DI unit? Your pics are all in 2d sonar. Set your trying turning your sensitivity up a few notches as well as your contrast. I like the imaging I get back with them both set around 12.
Yes it has di what do you mean by contrast ? I guess I have a lot to learn about fish Finders
HB DI units (and HB SI units) have a Contrast setting in the Enhance menu ...Quote:

Adjusting Contrast up will "contrast" dark echoes against light echoes and make soft targets (like fish) stand out better in the image ...just realize higher contrast will also make the image more "grainy" ...
