So its been about 8 months since I was able to use any of my fishing electronics last due to always being gone. Now that I am back home, I am needing some assistance on getting the settings set correctly and fine tuning the images. I wish I had some still images but I have absolutely nothing to put up at the moment to get some feedback.

I am currently running the HDS7 touch Gen 2 with the Structure Scan. I have the HDS 5 up front as well. One of the issues I have noticed is I can never really get good returns in shallower water. For example, when I am running in shallow water and using side scan, I am only able to see about 25 foot out either way...nothing to special. I know its going to be really hard to determine what exactly is going on without images, I will take some the next time I am out which will probably be Saturday morning and post them after I get back. I guess if I could get like a baseline of settings to start with and then just some pointers on what to adjust and fine tune while on the water, then that will point me in the right direction! I appreciate all the help in advanced!!
