Got it back together and tested it today. Here was a few shots I got and found a few more fishing spots.

Those are kool llooking.
What color pallet is the second and third pictures and which iz your ffavorite color
kosmo I'm pretty sure those were inverse, One of the members gave me a tip on it in reference to really picking out the fish...think he may be onto something. Too new to the unit at this time to give a favorite. 4-5 times I think.
Heading back out in the morning and hitting those two fall downs with standing around it. Thats a pretty steep drop on that bank were they are at. Just went today to test the remount.
I like that also. How checking your settings on contrast and such and posting them if you don't mind. My tired eyes have a hard time picking out the fish.
There seems to be plenty of fish there.good luck

today I did something I said I could never see myself doing...went to the lake with no poles just to test the unit and play with the setting...I see this :banghead They were a ton of fish on those two spots. ooh well, I think I have the SI down to where I like it. next time I'm going to work on the DI settings but I will not leave the POLES :Rofl
I made several passes on the bridge looking at it in different color pallets along with sen. and con. to see what worked best for me. Alot of the guys say sharp off but I want to see the fish. Nothing wrong with their settings, its what they like and thats all that matters in the end.
I did find that the deeper I went or the harder the bottom / softer the bottom I would go up or down some in sen. to give a better screen. Then I would go into con. to bring it out even more. I'll get some shots tomorrow with this info showing and post it for you. IMO I would use this as a starting point and adjust to your taste. When I first got it I found that I would go into SI DI and 2D and play with all. Now I see that it would have been better to pick one...learn it and move to the next. I'll get that info for ya
Great shots! Those are some of the cleanest HB shots I've seen.
Man I'd like to find a tree/trees with fish like that in my lake
I'm curious about the range lines on the si. Bottom pic seems to be right on with the indicated depth matching the range lines, but the next one up shows a depth of 50' while the range lines indicate about 30'. Pic #2 has some discrepancy, but not as much as the third. I always go with the range lines, but I know a lot of guys complain about the depth readings jumping around.Quote:

Those are some awesome shots. I agree that they are some of the best humminbird I have ever seen.

Hope this helps in reference to your Q. Good eye for detail
Went back today. Windy was not even the word for it but was able to take fish. Those fall downs only gave up one keeper, being so deep and not be able to drop a anchor I was on the trolling motor all the time and had to switch to a heavier jig due to the bow in the line. Had to leave that spot due to the wind and lack of keepers and found this spot.

Got the rest of the keepers here and several dinks had a fun day. Bait is really starting to come in and I'm seeing larger schools of crappie. The Fall bite is starting but I wish the water temps would come on down faster.

Great job slabbacks..
I'm really surprised you didn't catch any from that first spot...
I see lots of fish in the brush in the right SI water column...

between the wind putting a huge bow in the line then the heavy jig I had to switch too there is no telling how many bites I missed. Did pull in some dinks but not enough to talk about. We have a front coming in Monday and I'm heading back before it hits. Hoping that turns the larger ones on.
Looks good.did you decide that you liked the blue better than the inverse?
na kosmo, was just in the blue pallet when I came across that spot.
have you tried the amber 1 and if you have what do you think of it?Quote:

I like bue until the sun gets up high in the sky then i like the amber1Quote:
