This picture shows some suspended fish (white dots) off the rocks in deeper water.

This one I'm not sure if these are anchor drag marks or someones lower unit cutting up the bottom. I'm thinking anchor since it was 16ft deep.

Great pics Eric. I hope you left me some nice Bass on the Beds there at Shearon Harris. A bunch of the Pitt County guys will be there all next week to sore mouth some of those nuclear fish. Just for fun, no tournament. BRS-TRITON-20.
P.S. I dont think my LSS-1 will be much help for Bed fishing.

Great pics!! Can't wait to get mine on the water, as soon as the wind dies down.

There are rumors of submerged locomotives in a couple lakes in the area. Supposed to be leftover from the logging days Guess we'll find out this summer.

Please check my post about SS questions. Hope one of you know what's happening.

Looks like many have different preferences in settings. Anyone want to share? Are you tweaking the contrast or letting the system auto control the unit?

The contrast is set manually.

Thanks, Only had mine out on the water twice. Having diffculty getting lefts side to show anything. No blockage of the ducer so I believe I have a bad one or software problem.

Still trying to memorize the functions and fine tune the settings, but here was my first attempt at saving screenshots while I was at Lake Kerr (VA):


Pipeline through cove just below Clarksville:

I saw allot more interesting structure, but got too excited and forgot to press the button! http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/Laugh.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/doh.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/doh.gif

I have a deep V, an Islander 191. can you guys post how you have the transducer mounted if any of you have an aluminum?

Big Johnson great shots. How about an intel analysis of the picks- anyone? The large items are for the most part easy to identify. Where I need the help are the smaller items and what would be fish. Looks like some fish aroung the trestle??? http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/thumbsup2.gif

What causes all the haziness in your down scan pictures? My HDS 7 is doing this real bad when I get in 12ft of water and less.

Not sure. I noticed that this weekend on mine. The shallower the hazier it would get but then clear up when i was in deeper water.

That is exactly what mine is doing, it use to be clear and you could see every thing perfect...some one please help.

guys i took my hds7 out for its maiden voyage today and notices the same thing. i was hoping someone had an answer

To clear stuff up on downscan just go down a little on your contrast for shallower water. The deeper the water you can go up on contrast. You can set contrast for downscan seperate from contrast for side scan. The warmer the water get causes it to get cluttered up a bit. I think it is zoo plankton and micro organisms along with debri. Warm water is less dense that cold water causing things to suspend in water colium. Cold water is very dense causing these things to stay on bottom. I am no expert but this is what I believe.

this makes sense

Is it close to the dam?

Thanks Bass Boss that sense and I will give it a try.

+1. Well put.
