SI And DI whn sitting still
i read a lot of forums and try to learn everything i can about humminbirds and electronic in general. most people say si and di do not work for marking fish when you are not moving more than 1 mph and your scroll speed set to match. i say hogwash. me and jigslinger were fishing a bridge the other day. and marking very little at all. i looked down to see the screen and watched as this shool moved up to this pilon and stopped. in the shot on the left you can see them coming to it from the upper right. the lines are kind of strung out cause they are moving and we are not. then as they stop next to the pilon you can see them more like they would look if you were moving and scanning the bridge.you can also see them in the 2d sonar. they dont apear as arches because we are not moving and they are not passing all the way through the sonar beam. in the pic on the right you can see the fish stacked up around the old bridge pilon under the newer bridge, in this pic we were not moving either.what do you guys think. and what is your oppinion on this

Most times we dont get a good reading when sitting still, maybe with the wind blowing hard as it was we could have been moving more than we thought?

No when I took the screen shot we were at the end of the pilon and told you to look at this screen. We had the boat pined against the edge of it with the wind. Just goes to show these things can produce some amazing images.

I've had my Humminbird with si & di for a year now guess I am going to have to get the book out and learn all the secrets and controlls.All I did last year was flip and play with it.But I see where it is a great tool when operated like it was intended.

I use that method all the time to see how the fish move in and out of the cover. You can tell how deep, what side, and sometimes which direction they are moving in.

Hey GTO. In your split screen pic remember, the si view refreshes from top to bottom. In other words, the newest data is at the top. Your fish are moving away from the pylon. Trolling below 1mph all the time and I always get excellent pics so I throw the bs flag on the 1mph minimum thing. I try to match the screen speed with the boat speed for a real accurate picture. Too slow or fast tends to distort the image. But it will still work, just depends on how pretty a picture you want. I tend to prefer sonar for fish and si/di for structure. Just my opinion. I'm still learning it.
