    I just purchased the Lowrance HDS gen 3 with the 7" screen it has the 3d structure scan this past summer for my bass boat. I'm still amazed at what I was missing out on utilizing only 2d sonar and not able to interpret that thing without a chart. I still feel like I haven't learned about how to get the best picture. My question is how can I get the very best picture of whats on the structure scan (side scan), down scan, and 2d? What khZ should each of the 3 sonar panels be in for instance 2d in high chirp, and down scan on 800khZ? How far should I be scanning out to the sides with the structure scan (side scan)? This defaults to 455khZ on side scan (I called lowrance they said it was normal because of the transducer having 3d capabilities). I think I can change down scan between 800 and 455khZ I have to look back to be certain. I like running 4 screens at once the 4th being my chart screen or I could give or take 2d at times. I generally bass fish in rivers and creeks depth mostly being at 15 feet at times in stained water, however I have seen it 30 to 40 feet. My transducers are the SS3d and the 83/200 skimmer transducer with the structure scan box.

    Hello! I am looking at getting my first fish finder for my kayak, my budget is kind of flexible, I want to spend around $300. I mainly bass fish in lakes. I have been looking at Lawrence and Raymarine. I wanted a Humminbird at first, but I do not like that they don't have "real" down imaging. My friend has been giving me **** and just telling me to get a humminbird or lowrance because those are the best, but he has never even heard of raymarine. The ray marine I was looking at has the frequencies as "CHIRP 170-230; Down Vision: 320-380", but from research, that doesn't seem like the best for shallow/lake fishing right? Also, Gander Mtn has a really good deal on an Elite 5 HDI, but it does not have CHIRP. How important is that for the type of fishing I do? Thank you, any recommendations are greatly appreciated.
