Super User Wayne P. Posted August 17, 2014 Super User Posted August 17, 2014 Hey Wayne, Is it possible that a ledge show a double echo? No, a LCR 2D unit cannot record two different depths at the same time. What you have is a multiple of the same depth. Any depth can produce mulitple echos if your sensitivity is set high enough.

Super User slonezp Posted September 7, 2014 Super User Posted September 7, 2014 Wayne, what is your reasoning behind switching color palettes? Do you switch colors based on sunlight or lack there of, or based on what you are trying to decipher in the imaging, water depth/clarity, or is there another reason? Quote

Ambient light For me, the brown shows the best detail, but I cannot see it well in bright sunlight. 1 Quote
DelcoSol Posted September 14, 2014 Posted September 14, 2014 Still messing with Contrast, Enhance, and Sensitivity... Some beds I'm assuming on the right hand side. School of fish. Probably Crappie, but not sure since there isn't any cover near by. This lake does home Saugeye too. I get that same streak on the left of the centerline sometimes. Most of the time its not there but it comes and goes. Is this interference or something with the water like aeration? My pics look just like these. can't seem to get them as clear as everyone else.

For the bottom image, that is the recorded echos from the water coming off the hull due to the center of the hull displacing more water than the right of the center of the hull. The top image was due to going a little faster to create the turbulence from more of the hull, so there is a little of the same on the right side. It shows that the transducer is to the right of the hull centerline. It is simple cavitation. Quote

If the transducer was on the trolling motor, there would be no aerated water passing over the transducer to reflect the sonar pulses like this. 798ci SI Combo Quote

MattT1986 Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 Truly amazing! Cannot wait to upgrade but lol wont be for a while. just got elite 4hdi and having trouble with the dsi being crisp and clear... Quote
Super User Wayne P. Posted October 27, 2014 Super User Posted October 27, 2014 This is a mixture of bass, crappie, and shad using the 360 this past Friday. All that activity kept the shad scattered since they were "what's for lunch". 1 Quote

Super User Wayne P. Posted November 6, 2014 Super User Posted November 6, 2014 Staying on a piece of cover without creating a waypoint is easy since you can see where it is as you move around due to wind or current. Quote
TNRanger Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 Staying on a piece of cover without creating a waypoint is easy since you can see where it is as you move around due to wind or current. The 10' rings are a great reference for casting distance. Very cool. Quote
desmobob Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 This thread, especially with Wayne's images and explanations, has been fascinating! Thanks very much to everyone who contributed! I've been thinking about purchasing some electronics. Now I'm PLANNING on purchasing some new electronics. :-) (Just got to figure out what to sell so I can afford something good!) Tight lines, Bob Quote

Super User Wayne P. Posted December 16, 2014 Super User Posted December 16, 2014 I went fishing yesterday and was scanning with Side Imaging looking for bass and their food. When I found them, I switched to the 360 to keep up with them as they moved around so I could cast where they are in real time. I had the combo 2D/360 view displayed some of the time so I could see how large the bass were if they passed under the transducer using FishID. Most of the time I just used the full screen 360. In this case, a bass had split the school of shad and I could clearly see where it was. I made a cast using a Krazy Blade and caught it. This is what I saw: The above interpreted: The red circles are the split school of shad and the yellow circle is the bass that was after them. This was the result: I had success 13 times and landed 11 of them. Of course the two largest ones pulled off after a few seconds. All the ones landed were hooked in the lip so they are not taking it very aggresivley. 4 Quote
Super User Hi Salenity Posted December 16, 2014 Super User Posted December 16, 2014 I've got to get a 360. It would be great for chasing Whites & Wiper in the winter. Do they make a mount for the Terrova yet? Quote
Super User Wayne P. Posted December 16, 2014 Super User Posted December 16, 2014 I've got to get a 360. It would be great for chasing Whites & Wiper in the winter. Do they make a mount for the Terrova yet? The 360 mount cannot rotate. The bow unit is made to clamp to the upper shaft (that doesn't rotate) of a cable steer trolling motor. The bow model deploys and retracks with the trolling motor since it is attached to the shaft. The electic steer motor's shaft slides up and down within the mount and it rotates. Those that have electric steer motors use the transom model of the 360 which is the first version produced and still is. Some will rig their own deploy system for the bow model using a cable steer motor mount which is separate from the electric steer motor/mount. Check on the crappie web sites to see how they do it. 1 Quote
WhiteMike1018 Posted December 21, 2014 Posted December 21, 2014 Great pictures wayne and viking, cant wait until I get my new unit, I will definitely share some photos 1 Quote
Super User Wayne P. Posted December 28, 2014 Super User Posted December 28, 2014 Preditor/prey relationship. When the two are separated doing their own thing, all is pieceful: When it gets close to meal time, they are closer together: Then the munching starts: 1 Quote
Super User Wayne P. Posted December 29, 2014 Super User Posted December 29, 2014 GPS Waypoint Accuracy. Having a very accurate GPS system makes finding stuff easier and less time consuming. Being dead-on is a lot better than being a few yards off. I have my bow sonar unit's transducer on the trolling motor and GPS heading sensor antenna at the bow for the best accuracy when returning to a waypoint to check it out and fish it if the conditions are right. The heading sensor indicates the direction the bow is pointed. This is a brushpile waypoint numbered----Hr9. There are two more nearby. This screen shot shows the waypoint just in front of the boat on the Chart view, The bow position is the center of the little boat icon and where the track is drawn from. The green ring around the waypoint is called Casting Ring and I have it set to 30' radius. At the same time that brush pile is shown just in front of the boat in the 360 view. As I moved around, in this screen shot, the brush pile is shown about 45 degrees off the port side of the transom about 20' away as indicated by the chart position icon and the brushpile itself in the 360 view. 2 Quote
Super User Paul Roberts Posted January 8, 2015 Super User Posted January 8, 2015 Humminbird 1198ci SI Combo Fish off to the side with Side Imaging Two of the same image with one marked where the bass are on a rocky point. You just need to train you eyes to pick out the fish against the colored bottom. Also you have to set the Sensitivity level so the bottom won't be so bright that the fish blend in. Wayne, is there any current running there? How about "sight fishing" for bedding bass in muddy water with about 2" visibility? That is what I was doing yesterday. OK, this is getting to be cheating lol. Great thread. Amazing posts Wayne. Thanks for sharing them. Quote
