Thread: First SI Snap Shots

Those look GREAT !! I only wish my 797 looked that good!! Just could not drop that extra $1000 bucks on the bigger one
I bet if you drop your speed to around 3 and your chart speed around the same they will even be better!!

Thanks for the feed back. I will try going slower it's hard to do :D, 3 mph too fast for trolling motor and too slow for big motor. May have to get one of those trolling plates for the big motor.
Maybe before the spawn gets here I will have all the playing out of my system and can get to some fishing.

Good shots, in the second pic on the left looks to be an old road bed & on the right old submerged structures. What lake?

I wouldn't waste the money on one of those trolling plates. They just tell you to go between 2 and 6mph. If your doing 4 and get those pics I wouldn't touch a thing. Maybe mess with your scroll speed a little(slower is better) and maybe mess with the SI sensitivity a bit. Either way your pics look great!!

I have to agree with laser... Your pics are fine. You have good bottom lock. There may be opportunity to improve the detail with sensitivity and scroll speed adjustments, but they look good. Thanks for sharing

Thanks
I think it was an old logging road on the the left, I think I found where the road came back up out of the old hollow.
The right side is some stumps and some big rocks I think, because on that side I was only about 200 foot from the bank and that's what is along the shore.
This is the Upper Bear Creek Lake in Bear Creek Al. I was up around the Mondye boat ramp.

Thanks guys. I'm going to play with these adjustments next time out.
I have found out one thing, I don't think my minnow bill will be as high from now on. I seem to play and look more than I fish :D

LOL, these things will keep you from fishing for the first few weeks....

DON'T FORGET TO LOOK UP!.. Good luck..
