Humminbird 899 help reading my snapshots
I bought a new to me Humminbird 899 ci si earlier this summer. It seems most of the times I have taken it fishing I have been more engrossed in fishing and less interested pushing buttons and learning this unit. So today, I was a bit more relaxed while taking the kids fishing and decided to make a recording so I could play with humview on my computer. I had found a bunch of fish last Wednesday and we did real well. They were bluegills. Today I went out to the same place and didn't really do that well fishing. So when we were wrapped up I did a little bit of driving around with the record feature on and I think I found the same schools of fish we were on last Wednesday, they had just moved to deeper water. I just wanted to make sure that what I was seeing was larger schools of fish and not something else.

I was surprised that the detail when loaded up on my computer wasn't better. It felt to me that the detail I saw on the finder was more crisp. I am open to any suggestions as to playing with the settings. I haven't really changed any of the settings on the unit itself on the boat other then factory defaults b/c I always felt the read outs were really good. Now I downloaded it onto my computer and they don't look as crisp. Anyhow, open to suggestions. For once I was really excited what I was seeing on the screen. I'm starting to get used to using this unit and can really start to see the benefits of it. I have been one of those guys that has traditionally used a fish finder for depth and that's about it.
