    What do you think is wrong with them...LOL They look pretty good to me. Just keep adjusting sensitivity and contrast as depth and conditions change, set chart speed to match boat speed, and range to about 3-5 times depth.

    I don't think anything is wrong with them necessarily but I have a problem where I constantly tinker with everything (tackle, rods, reels, electronics, etc) lol
    I've seen some really impressive images and was curious if anyone noticed something.
    I really appreciate the advice!

    Your pics do look good Jacob. Next time out on the lake find some structure like brush piles, standing timber, rock ledges, etc and take a couple more pics. These kind of images are easier to judge and make recommendations for tweaking your settings.

    If your water is crystal clear and ypu have an area that has a structure that you know is there then use that spot to play around with the settings. Contrast sharpness , speed are first ones.
    Some sunglasses are suited for different colors so you may find that you can see better with a different color settings.
    Personally I found that each pair of sunglasses have their own color settings on the graphs.
