Doug (mrdux) has graciously offered his taxidermy shop in Benton as a meeting place to hold a sonar seminar...(and I don't like the word seminar because we can all learn from each other)...

It seems that Doug's bird chasing duties are going to keep him tied up until the end of Feb....

This gives us some time to discuss some of the ideas from you guys of what you would like see or discuss at this gathering....

Some examples of discussion could be...:

*SONAR basic understanding....
*The Sonar "ping" and how it's plotted onto the display....
*SONAR beam shapes and/or frequencies and their use in your fishing tactics...
*SI/DI image interpretation...
*HB unit settings...
*HB snapshots and recordings...
*HB PC (and unit) waypoint management...
*Humviewer...
*HB file management on your pc...

Most of my input will be toward the HB product (because that's what I have experience with)...but a lot of the info that can be discussed relates to sonar in general that could be applied toward any brand....

The only restriction (in this thread and at the gathering) is Lowrance vs Humminbird debates will not be tolerated...period.... There will be enough very large folks at the gathering to physically remove any tension from the discussion....

This is an opportunity for us all to learn from each other how to use these high dollar investments to help us catch fish...

Give me your ideas guys...
