Thread: Screen images and interpretations. (dial up beware)

Still havin trouble with my Lowerance 125X reading and blinkin '^0 fow" can't get it to reset to show real readings. It just keeps blinking "60". I have looked on the menu for a factory default setting but can't find one. I have turned down the strength on my imaging to jpractically nothing, as was suggested earlier, but that tdoesn't help. Shoud I be feeling or hearing some sort of pulsing or pinging sound when this thing is powered up. I 'feel' or 'hear' nothing when I put it to my ear.

Really confused and need some advice!! Yeah, I know, buy a HB. LOL

nice pics salty, I think I've fished that pile before

ok guys here a new one. Tell me what you think. At my first look I thought this was just a bunch of Shad schooled up. After staring at it for a while could this have been a school of shad (Smaller school on the left) and a school of whites and crappie (on the right) feeding? I did not fish it thinking it was all shad ... I'm kicking myself now for not doing so. It was taken from Granger so Whites/crappie or shad seem to be the logical thing schooling from there. We were looking for a set of condos that my budy had dropped in the area.



So does this look right?

That's what it looks like to me, but what do I know?

So for you guys that have the Down Imaging and cannot figure out why you are not getting good DI pics. I figured it out .. well more like proved my theory. Di works best in deeper water. Little ole Granger (lake I normaly fish) just does not have the depth to get the great DI pics like the ones below. What do you guys think?

I really though we were gonna pull some crappie off this tree!











Here a couple of deep water Di pics.

The deep water is what the lakes in Florida lacks.
Lakes that I normally fish are only about 8 to 10 foot deep. Hard to get a side scan of any thing meaningful.
Floating lilly pads and roots are hard to get an image thru.

Try this test next time you are out on shallow DI images. Increase the depth range when you are shallow..... Those are some great images you have there of deeper structure.

Here is one of my deep ones See the trees and ridge in 3D in the background. Notice the depth

just a heads up. i spoke to lowrance/eagle today regarding my eagle. it will be replaced with a lowrance as eagle is being phased out. i dont think they are making any more as of now. navco owns them. thought this might be a good place to put this information

Just a few that i have to share.

Why are your images not showing up for me, I see others just fine but nothing by SaltyDawg?

WOW! This thing is awesome! You have to see one in action! You will defenatly want one! I saw thingg! Lotsa things! We bound brushpile after bruspile! We found Gar, Catfish and Crappie! No matter what you are fishing for I can see how these units defenatly will make you more sucessful! See the pics below!

A Lot of fish!


And more fish!


A Big Gar!


Brushpiles! Zoomed in 2x


Same one zoomed in 4x


We also found that you can check juglines without even touching them!
A nice catfish which i fiured to be 8-12#'s!


Another of the same catfish from a recording.


Another Huge Fish!


A batch of Condos I put out last year (Pic form right on top of them)!


Same Condos From the side.


Even though it was my first outing and everything was just about at default; the HB 898 is dialed in pretty well! We spent more time exploring rather than fishing. Its not hard to get caught up watching the FF rather than fishing!

BTW, I have never seen Arches on any of my FF till today! It was nice to do so!
