I sure wished Skinee's pictures worked to view them.

A few screen shots from my Lake Fork trip this weekend.
Bridge just north of the current 515 bridge. Second pic is same bridge, different angle.

I did weigh 21.5# in our club tournament today. Not all that noteworthy for Lake Fork, but still a lot of fun.

I have the HDS-7 & boat is at shop now getting LSS-1 mounted and other things relocated.
So which screen do you find yourself watching the most??
Re: Lowrance StructureScan and DownScan (Bowhuntnsteve)
The one I have pictured above is on the HDS-10 90% of the time. The other 10% is full chart for when I am on plane running the lake. I also have a LMS 520C in the dash for 2d sonar with time and water temp overlay.
Re: Lowrance StructureScan and DownScan (Bowhuntnsteve)
No doubt about it, the screen I watch the most is the quad screen (not an option on the HDS-7 or 5).
Re: Lowrance StructureScan and DownScan (Sirius Rich)
Found this boat using StructureScan and it showed a few fish in and around the boat. My friend and I each caught bass on our first cast.

Re: Lowrance StructureScan and DownScan (Wright)
ok here is a question,
say the picture Wright just put up of that boat. The left pic shows it more distant than the right picture. So is he over top of the boat?? Way I understood is your boat that your in is the solid white blurred out line, then the vision to either side would show structure & objects. So if the boat is on the right side, how is the left picking it up?? Does this make sense what I am saying? I would think it would only show on 1 side than both sides pending what side the object the boat is on.
Since I have an hds-7, seem I should watch mainly the downscan than anything else.

If you use only the downscan you will miss most objects you are looking for because you are covering a small portion of the bottom. When I see an object with the structurescan I will also switch to the downscan, if the object is not too far left or right of center. I do this to get another view on a single pass. The HDS 8 (which I have) and HDS 10 will allow you to do this rapidly because of the soft keys. The HDS 7 & 5 requires you to go back to the menu to accomplish the same function.
In the image in question I almost centered the boat, which meant the left and right crystals each saw a portion of the boat. The entire boat was captured by the downscan crystal.
Re: Lowrance StructureScan and DownScan (Wright)
ok so basically you were directly over it but more than half was on 1 side than the other. I was thinking it was all on 1 side and the opposite side was picking it up as well when it shouldn't be since its scanning say 6 o'clock out to 9 o'clock.
Re: Lowrance StructureScan and DownScan (Bowhuntnsteve)
Heres a couple screen shots I took from my HDS 5 today. Having to use it since my HDS7 is sent in for repair.
