Do you remember what your Sen. was set at in your shot? It looks like you had sharpness on low as well.

Had sharpness on low in si...good eye......can't use sharpness in di due to the software bug. My sensitivity was probably set at 12. Laurel Hill fertilizes quite heavily and sometimes have to turn sensitivity down. Yeah just as long as one has a good unit and it helps them put more fish in the boat doesn't matter the brand. Being in my mid 60's somedays I did not want to put an 80 pound kayak in the water. But since getting the 899 I get excited to get on the water. Forums are about learning and while I have been a crappie.com member for a while have not been involved with forum as much as I should have been. But really glad I found your post about the deep water Gills. I had the bluegill beds down pat with si and this spring I was catching instead of fishing. Went out yesterday and scanned over 30 beds in about a 1/3 of the lake. Really spent time tuning the unit yesterday and had what is probably my best snapshot of beds yet...really sharp. What really stood out was "Nobody was home"....LOL. There was not a single fish on any of those beds. They were out deep and I had already spent 5 hours paddling and was pooped....LOL. But to the point of forums being for learning.....I knew that Gills went deep in summer but was trying to put that knowledge together with the si on how to go about finding them.....the post you did on Drop Shoting really hit home with me....and so does this one. I have read many of the posts Greg has over at the Humminbird site and watched many of the Doug Vahrenberg videos...all good stuff. But learning is an ongoing thing and glad you are doing your posts.....keep up the good work.
