Thread: Bluegill Beds and 997

My Goodness - If one has to worry about coord secrets for bream beds, then fishing has become WAY too serious! By the way - Thanks for sharing the pic. Really is neat technology!

Thats some amazing technology there.

Maybe 1 day I will be able to afford one of them machines.Thanks for sharing.

Very nice pics, very interesting information too. Thanks

Maybe later this summer I'll get more good stuff for show and tell, I maybe taking the show on the road. I had to put mom in nursing home and so I put the house up for sale. If it sells I'm going to do some thinking and the arrow points towards Devils Lake. I've always wanted to map parts of it in an accuracy where the contours would show the road and ditches and with the side scan there shouldn't be any thing missed. I can do a lot of show and tell on the road too if that comes to be. Next big decision would be where to winter.

What is a 997? Is it a Depth finder? and who makes it?

It's some kinda fancy-dancy, electrical gizmo thingy that is supposed to tell you how deep the water is. Made by a company call Humminbird, I think.

Definitely a depth finder Definitely made by Hummingbird. It has that ability to look sideways as well as down. You can also take pictures of what it sees. Awesome to say the least. wish I had one, but at about $1000 plus I don't see it happening.

$1800-$2000

Wannabe, Thank you for that good answer. Cleared it right up for me.

I was on a small local lake recently and I saw this "pitting" on the bottom in several locations but it was out more in the middle of the lake....strange.
