I just finished installing my 997c SI this morning so I took it out for a test run. I am able to read bottom until I hit 39mph, so I'm OK with that. I don't need to go 60mph anyway, 39 saves gas haha.
Anyway, how do you all think the images turned out? What changes in settings should I make? It was super sunny today, so I missed quite a few fish until I got home and loaded them on the computer. Any tips for that?
Also, I'm getting a little bit of prop wash in my images... any way to get rid of that? I don't have a jack plate.
This first one is an easy one... it's the end of the boat ramp that I launched out of. It's a pretty short one, and has a center 'pier' between the two ramp lanes.
This one I have no clue about. I went over it a couple different ways, and it always looked like a perfect square. Any ideas? Old foundation for something? This lake has NO houses on it so the only docks are in the marina (which I was very far from).
This is another one where I'm clueless. I'm seeing 3 evenly spaced things on top of a small hump on the bottom. The standing tree just up from that hump is pretty cool too.
This last one is pretty interesting to me. This is one of the spots on the lake where I have always been able to count on a keeper, but today I found out why. I guess I always missed this while looking at the trolling motor fish finder, but today I found out it's a nice rock pile!
Well, at least that's what I think they all are. If I got anything wrong please correct me because I need to learn quick! I have a big college fishing tournament on Kentucky Lake next week so I have about 5 more trips to learn how to use this thing!
