DTG is dead on. No secret brushpile is safe

I have the 997 and love it. Not just for the side imaging but the gps as well. I got the Hot Maps card and it has the lakes I fish on it. The beauty of it is, while side imaging if you see something that you want to try out you don't need to stop, just pause your screen, cursor over and mark the spot. You now have a waypoint that you can navigate back to with your gps. It's a great unit. (of course the side imaging images are awesome)

Just to wet your apetite. The mouth of this cove has some really big pipes running across it. A small school of fish can be seen just north of it off to the right, notice their shadows, the shadows help you determine how deep the fish are.



The next pic I copied off the main forum. Anything above the line is drawn in but it's obviosly a school of crappie near some pilings.
