Well I finally starting to get reading the images off my new electronics from BRM. These are really amazing pieces of equipment. U can actually see the fish on them. You can see some the brush on the side and down imaging and some just on the side imaging. Enjoy some images. Attachment 89500

That's pretty cool. Thanks for sharing.
Ive got to get me one of those! How hard is it to learn to use it?
god I want one too, just bought a gun safe this week and the wife will use whats in it if I spend anymore cash.
How much and what model do you have
You keep posting those waypoints, and you'll have 20 boats sittin there next time you go. LOL

Hey they can see waypoints but only I got the valuable part, the numbers besides most waypoints for me are used to navigate around and avoid while trolling. Hopefully by marking all the trash I wont lose as many hooks.
Those are screen shots of hds 10. Amazing clarity of the structure and even fish. I can see schools of fish easily and single fish also.
As far as ease of use you tube is a great resource and makes learning very quick. I have them fined tuned the way I want now after 2 days of using.
Bill, Arkansasbowhunter doesn't care if their is 20 boats. With this new toy,you sold him . He will catch them anyway.:highfive
Those are some great pics.
Which videos on you tube helped the most for your fine tuning?Quote:

He he he Bill, Confuscious say secret video make me better fisherman LOL. There is also a bassclub that I found that had a lot of settings for the lowrance. To be honest I can't remember. I basic searched side imaging and the Lowrance and watched everything I found. Went out and applied it to what I saw and man it is amazing what I know now, can see and find in the lakes. One setting was to make sure the unit is set to shallow water application and not general which they were set on, set contrast around 61-68 percent, keep the side imaging to 2.5 x the water depth so most of the time mine is set to 30 foot on each side of the boat, color pallate is dealers choice. I like the blue as shown in my images. There are some other settings that can optimize like 800 hz transducer for 80 foot of water or less too. Once I fine tuned the units man I was really surprised what I can see. The school of fish was really neat to see. No more dropping out bouys and being flogged by 10 boats. I just drop a waypoint and circle it now. If too many boats get close then I just move off the waypoint slightly or all together and drag the other guys off LOL. Hope this info helps I have a bunch more and will share them in time.
gps coordinate converter revealed your fishing hole.:yikes:biggrin
I'm jealous.:(
:):):)
I wrote down those coordinates then spent all day driving all over Robin Hood and never found the boat ramp. :dono
Nice pics ABH. I love my DI SI
B.OA.T = Bust Out Another Thousand ! wow, amazing
Great work.
Give us the bass club site, I know the settings you just tolt me, but I only used those Gen 2's once before you stole em from me. Didnt need em that day in Sardis lower lake. LolQuote:

Bbcboards under lowrance
jw the lakes you fish are not large enough to get a way from anyone, all the local pot holes you can see all four sides of the bank!!!!!!
I jumped into this technology last week and its totally amazing.
You are right Jerry. I like to get to be bigger lakes when I can but gotta stay close most of time. Blessed to have some potholes close to fish for sure. I do get tired of seeing the same old water though.
If I was catching fish like that one you hauled to the Spring Camp JW, I wouldn't care if it came from a Mudhole in my driveway!!!'

Pfffft
i just got my hds 8 hooked up but when i go to structure scan it only shows NO SOURCE...what have i done wrong?
Not sure you have all 3 wires in the back plugged in and the structure scan puck
yeah got all the wires plugged in as far as i can tell....what are you calling the puck?
There I a structure scan puck and a regular looking pick that goes on the back of the boat. Those are your sources.
i thought that was just a external receiver for the gps....i've got both of the transducers mounted and hooked up in the correct spots. i have sonar, just not sidescan or downscan.
JW means transducers, but your problem is probably the yellow wires. You need to hook the yellow wires together so the 8 will turn on the Structure Scan unit. Don't connect then to anything else, just each other. You should have your Ethernet cable from the 1, 2, or 3 position output on the SS unit to the Ethernet connection on the back of the 8. Call me for more help!!! I install the HDS units all the time.Quote:

BRM that's gonna be my problem...i've got display and structure scan both being powered by an accessory switch on the dash but don't have the yellow wires hooked together.
Then the SS unit is not powering up.

Brm knows his stuff for sure.
Just another pict with a wad of fish in this small ditch I found
Attachment 90502
Thanks for the pics JW. Always enjoy looking at the sonar images. Here is a ditch the wife and I fished on Feb 28. It's pretty cool seeing the line as it goes down.
Hey rcc looks like some fish were there too
We did catch some of those fish. As you have well discovered, when that stuff is working right, it's really good.
