What a Difference HD and Down Imaging make on a Depth Finder

I recently bought a new down imaging depth finder. I have had it out three times and I can't believe the difference this tool makes!!! Yesterday I went out to do a mid-day sneak out and I fished an area that I have been to at least 100 times. With this new depth finder I found 3 pieces of detailed structure that I have graphed a 1000 times and never know it was there. Each one of them produced fish right away... All I can say is the details on these new units are unreal. It just amazes me the things I have found in areas that I have always fished but the little fine details make all the difference.

I am not the best fisherman in the world but it's amazing how much of a difference the little details can make.

I would like to see it. I've been thinking of upgrading.

Chatt - What time will you be there Sunday? I may have a reason to get a new unitHands Clapping Just not sure what time I will be able to make it Sunday until late.

Duckman, does the di do as much as the hd? I was thinking of skipping the di since it's such a thin slice view.

Yes on the DI. I have found it very useful in IDing the type of structure I am looking at. I did end up going with the Hummingbird vs the Lowrance (sorry Chatt) because I like their sonar better and I felt their imaging was comparable. I can tell what type of fish I am looking at and the DI tells me the exact type of cover I am fishing and many times I can tell if the fish is in a active or negative mood. Like I said I have fished places for a while but did not know there was a twig sticking out of a rock that had 20 fish on it. I just knew there where fish there on the break. Now I can mark my spot exactly and fish it more efficently. I am a firm believer that you can find a hot spot but there is alway a spot with in the spot that produces more. I have an HDS 7 on the front of my boat and an HB HD 597 di on the back. With those two tools my fishing has improved. We fished Truman a few weeks ago our tools allowed up to find fish quicker, eliminate dead water and fish new areas no one else was and fill the boat with big fish.
