Thread: SI and PVC

When I figure out how to get pictures from here to there I'll do just that. Bought 997 and have been playing with it instead of fishing. It's so fascinating. First trip out saw a boat hull laying on bottom with square hole cut in it. Found remains of old wooden bridge. Took snapshot of a fish house that I put in lake made out of 200 gal. plastic tote tank. You can see metal cage around tank and bamboo that I stuck out of all four sides but not the 2inch pvc that I stuck out the top. I'll figure this picture thing out in time.

I forgot that the pvc may not show up. Do you think that larger pvc would? How is pvc different than say, a five gallon bucket, or a large plastic drum?

Save the Pictures to a SD card. Then at home take a SD reader and load the shots on your PC. I move mine to my Photobucket.com. And then the its just copy and paste it in the postcard deal above.

Do do know what your setting were to get this image? I have a hard time with this.

Thanks Shilohred, hope to have time to try this tonight. I want you all to see this tank. It is cool.

O MY ....... fishing is about to pick up. I can find the structure (minn kota trolling motor) I put in the lake last year!!! Mr. Paty that picture is unreal. Thanks.....there goes my govt. refund money.

OK folks, let's see if country has come to town. This is the 200 gal plastic tank. It has galvanized cage around it with metal plate about 10 inches by 30 long on the side that you can see, that was the contents placard. I stuck bamboo about 12-14 feet out of all sides and you can clearly see the bamboo and fish in it. What you can't see are the 12 pieces of 2.5 inch pvc pipe sticking straight up 8 ft. toward the surface. I wish now I'd have taken a picture before I put it in the water. I will on next one. Now back to the original question. As in Ernest's snapshots as well as mine, you don't and won't see the pvc unless that beam hits perpindicular and reflects squarely back to transducer. Am I correct?
