Great shots!

Thanks.  I'm still very new at this.  It's super exciting to just watch what scrolls out.  I did a bit more Sunday.

Posted this in the Garmin thread but I suppose it's more appropriate here.

All these big screen shots are making me very envious.

Lake is man made can be stumpy in area's. Thanks in advanced.

1. Fish arches or tree tops? I see this often while cruising.

2, Bait? Also notice the lines below 10 feet, I noticed a lot of the lake like this at those depths and lower, is that the thermocline?

3. Same as above, another example.

4. I use to run this area over with my old graph and notice it was odd, could this be an old bridge? I ran back over it with the DI but could've replicate the look.

5. Last one, I imagine a combo of bait and fish.

Down Imaging and Side Imaging with an ONIX 10 SI at the bow with the SI transducer on the trolling motor.

Some parts of the image are skewed due to turning the motor.

Very cool. Thanks for all the images. Any tips for side imaging in shallow water with a Lowrance HDS Gen 2? I see some great images on here in less than 5 feet of water. I can't seem to accomplish that. Must have it set wrong.

 You have the wrong brand for that capability. The most shallow coverage you can get is by using 455 kHz instead of 800 kHz.

 

This is Side Imaging with 200' of coverage in less than 4'. There is a bass at the lower left that I caught after seeing it displayed. I was heading back to the ramp and was just checking the ramp cove layout. There are submerged shoreline weeds on the right side.

i am still in my infancy of SI but i have seen those types of shapes on my screen before, referring to your bottom left comment, but wasn't sure if they were fish or not.  guess i need to just find some more of them and try and catch them.

So in this instance, would this fish be behind your boat at the time you took this picture?

Thanks Wayne. You're correct. I changed it to 800 kHz because I read that is was better for more detail and less range. In your example my screen would be mostly the black line under the boat. I'll try 455 kHz. Thanks again.

Yes it was, the bottom of the screen is the oldest data.

 

I did not notice it at first, but when I did, I moved the screen curser to it to get the distance and direction, moved within casting distance and caught it with a Chatterbait. It was a 4# class largemouth-- a dink for that day since I had caught a 9-9 and 10-7 earlier.

Boats?  I found boats!

My screen shots are a lot coarser/grainier than the image on my Garmin 93SV....

 

The neat thing about finding boats where I fish is, the water is so muddy, it's likely they've never been seen before!  Even the large boat in 8 feet of water is invisible from the surface.

 

Tight lines,

Bob

I thought I'd share this one. Shows off the thermocline and how fish relate above it.

There should be a way for you to take screen shots with the unit directly to a memory card

There is, however this wasn't on my boat.

Wow,  this is a great forum!  I have many screen shots I'll post when I get back home from business trip.  I won't bore you all with to many but only pics that vex me.
