after much tweeking and help from crappie.com'rs

Well after nearly a year of ownership and practice, i finally got some descent pics from my 998.

In the first one, you can see what appears to be beds with some fish above. What would cause the tree that you can see just above and to left of cursor to look like its been "brushed" and not solid even as it casts a shadow?

The second shot is a close up of what appears to be smaller sized fish ( i think crappie) with the shadows showing them up off bottom

The last pic is the full SI view of the above school of fish stacked up. I was bass fishing this lake ( its only 80 acres) and left all my crappie stuff at home, but im going back with my spider-riggin stuff to catch a few!!!!!

So tell me what ya think. MANY THANKS RICKIE aka RNVINC and to doublegobble:biggrin

also, there is no way that water temp was that warm yesterday, it must be reading what it was in garage during playback. Water temp yesterday was about 43 degrees

anyone know how I can make the images bigger or a way to click on them to increase their size let me know......

Just out of curosity, what kind of fish beds in 48' of water? Nice shots BTW.

the depth is21 feet

Im assuming those were previous bedding areas like for bream maybe?, not really sure but thats what a bream bed looks like

Either way, those are great HB screen shots. Would be even better if they were full size.

Hold down the Control key and tap the + key. Each tap will enlarge it.

You are correct Tom....the HB unit does not record the water temp (even tho this has been on the HB wish list for some time)...

Because you were taking snapshots from a recording while in the garage...the temp probe was, in fact, reading the ambient temp of the air when you took the snapshot...

After you had imported the .PNG snapshots from your SD card to your pc....did you use the CC forum's attachment uploader tool (to get them into your post) or did you use an online picture manager like photobucket...??

Rickie

Rickie, I used forum's attachment

Hmm interesting....I was thinking my pics come in larger when using the forum's attachment tool...

Maybe crappypappy or G can answer this one...

I'll have to investigate more....

By the way Tom, your shots look great...

PM me if you have any other questions...

Rickie

tom, good pictures.

:dono .... maybe it has something to do with the sizing of the pics as they were recorded into his computer files ??

I do know that Photobucket has an option to record in various sizes, and translates them to forums according to what size they were recorded/entered into the Photobucket account file.


And ... just for the record : I'm "Crappiepappy" .... not "crappypappy" (who is another member all together) :Doh: :Rofl

... cp :kewl

Great snapshots, Tom. Do you mind sharing your settings?

Dont mind at all don- thats how I tweeked mine. Had a bunch of help from a couple good guys on here!! I had the beam setting on 455 for forever and never noticed it. So first, the beam setting is now 800. Noise filter-off, surface clutter-off, scroll/chart speed-1 ( i was trolling about 0.7-0.8 while scanning), SI enhance- contrast about 9-10, sharpness-low, sensitivity about 11-13 just fiddle with sensitivity as to now get "too white"

tried to resize images but didnt work..........

Tom, I did this one by taking a snapshot, removing my SD card, downloaded to "My Pictures" and then used the "insert image" from C.C.

yeah, those I second posted were from "my computer" then uploaded. Who knows- will try again someday when I get newer pics.
