We upgraded our console Helix 7 DI to the Helix 9 SI Mega Scan and had to get on the water to check it out. Wow!! It has great images and the side scan will be a really nice feature to have. Still need to learn how to maximize its potential, but that will hopefully come with time and practice. Planning to add a Helix 9 DI Mega Scan to the bow to upgrade our other Helix 7 DI as soon as I can afford it. Maybe its just me, but I can't see the advantage of 2 SI units when they network and we can see the console SI on the bow unit. I think I would rather save and invest in a 360 for the bow than have 2 SI units. Any Thoughts to consider before investing another wad of $,$$$.$$.

Put in at Wildcat and fished from the mouth of blood river almost back to Irvin Cobb. Extremely slow and very soft bite in 16-22 FOW. Surprisingly more bites in 16-20 ft. Missed several soft bites and caught some short fish (good news for the future). Probably caught enough keepers to make a couple fish o fish sandwiches, but that was it. 6-8 boats seen on the water max.
