Wow, I never anticipated a response this strong! Thanks for the information and the great images. It seems to me that in these pics the lake bottom looks darker as you get towards the outside edges which I presume to be the bank. Does a darker color indicate rising terrain or just softer bottom? I know on my 597DI bright spots are hard bottom. I can make out some fish in some of those beds, will you guys usually zoom in and look to see if the beds are occupied or just fish them and see?

I am really excited about side imaging, I think it is going to be revolutionary for me. Get the grease hot!
