    Yes. I have always been very happy with my placement of the transducer----it shows awesome returns.

    Yes. The version that came when the Onix was still under 2.0.

    This is appears to be some sort of panfish, because of the way the school stacks. Bass tend to be in the same water column or depth, and the school may be tight/spread out depending on their mood.

    That's exactly the images I was getting while finding crappie on my Onix, except there was Table Rock submerged timber in the mix

    These easily could be large sunnies---they transition in spring on the same breaks as crappies in this small spring fed clear lake.
