Thread: Need a little help......

I'm being very cautious with how and where I mount the transducer because of the lakes I fish. Reelfoot is one example. Sliding over one stump can wipe out a transducer. I see it every year over there. This is the first time I've had a console mounted anything on my boat. When I get to the point I have the SI unit figured out and decide to leave it, I'll make something permanent. I wish I had the luxury of fishing lakes that are not full of stumps. I just have to figure out how and where to mount the transducer so that I'm not buying 3 or 4 transducers a year. That could get expensive.

Pictures 1, 6 and 7 were taken on Reelfoot Sunday. Several of the stumps and logs are visible. I had some others I took while around some lily pads (lotus). Those showed up as hundreds of white dots. Here's a couple of shots that I captured just prior to getting into one of the ditches. I guess the deeper line is part of the old bayou that runs through the lake.

I forgot to answer an earlier question. Someone asked if the pictures had been enhanced. I guess I'm not that savy with this stuff yet. All of these pictures are uploaded straight from my SD card. Are there enhancements that can be done to improve the image quality once it has been uploaded to my computer?

I'm glad you mentioned reel foot lake.the quality of images that you get will be best on a hard bottom.reelfoot is definitely not a hard bottom lake.im guessing that your not going to get much improvement in image quality there.as far as those stumps go, I can see were your concerned

I have been told once uploaded to your computer, you can open the images in microsoft paint and then edit or enhance the image. Like deleting gps coordinances and stuff like that. Also supposed to be able to clear up the image, and draw lines on it to point something in particular out. I havent done this yet, been told about it tho.

And that bayou thats in your pictures above, in that shallow of water and that narrow, I think its possible that ya may have found ya a defined beaver run. I am a trapper, and let me tell ya, If this is a beaver run, a WHOLE NEW WORLD JUST OPENED UP FOR ME! LMBO!!!!! It may not be, but I hope it is possible to see that, im going to pay more attention from now on! Man im getting excited now.

Sure is awefully curvy to be a beaver tho, now that I have looked at it more. But im still excited!

LowePro, I am familiar with Microsoft Paint enough to do a little work in there. I just didn't think about putting my screenshots in it. I have to use Paint for work applications all the time. I try to leave my work at work and not cross the two.

That run is pretty long. I'm thinking it may have been created a few years back when Reelfoot got really low and that area of the lake was dry. That's probably where the last bit of water was draining to the south. I saw a lot of stuff in that really shallow water. The SI picked up more than I ever expected in less than 3 FOW.

Kosmo, that's good to know about the soft bottom/hard bottom. I fish several oxbows, but I also fish some other lakes like Kentucky Lake, Dardanelle, Greers Ferry, etc. That will be good to see this thing in use on one of those lakes.........
