Hello

My name is Duane. I go by CrappieHead on Crappie.com. I would love to see some of you Pro's to give a seminar on using fishfinders. That would help more weekend fishermen than any other type seminars.

Have you checked out the Humminbird's? The side imaging is outstanding. There more traditional graphs are excellent to but with the side imaging you can find so mush stuff. I have learned more about loz in a week than I had before in ten years. I will try to help you on any graph though.

I do not have the money for them new Humminbird w/side imaging. I have a Humminbird 400 now would like to move up to a 595 or 700's.

I would be willing to hire a guide if he would take out my boat and show me things on what I use, to use it better and how to find the fish better.

Crappiehead I'm with you. You watch all the shows and they say use your electronics but never really explain what your looking for. I must say my biggest problem was/is not trusting what I see. After talking to a pro from a popular trolling motor/dept-finder repair shop here I am more confident that all the little fishes or arcs were fish even if your not getting any bites. I need a better understanding of the lines at the top and bottom of the graph. I have a grasp of the hard and soft bottom but the line at the water line is a mystery. Also, I get a line that runs diagonally every once in a while and some say it is my line. I just don't know.
And as for as a side view, that is not in the budget. I have a simple L-51 that I purchased with the boat.
Look forward to this weather to break and be able to get out and try it again.

I have talked to several guides. At the time they used different brand fishfinder than what I had. More are going to humminbird's now. I do not have $1000-$2000 for a fishfinder. I am luck I have a boat with a motor that runs that is paid off.

If I went out and bought a $1000-2000 fishfind I would have to fish from my yard as I would not have gas money

I agree with ya Crappie head on this statement you made (not sure how to copy quotes like you all do)

I would be willing to hire a guide if he would take out my boat and show me things on what I use, to use it better and how to find the fish better.

Anyway, would like for someone that knows, tell me what I am seeing on my graph.

BINGO !
I'd be willing to pay for that as well... as long as he doesn't cuss my 12 yr old boat too much ! If somebody like Cabelas set up something like this I'd be willing to buy a new set of electronics from them plus the on-water "tutorial".
