Yes mike that is a great picture. Have you tried the blue color that they came out with this year, just wondering as that is similar color I was used to seeing on my old 997.

I haven't tried any other colors yet. That pic is probably the best that I have. I use DI almost 100% of the time, but honestly, I fish a lot more then I snap pics.

What are your settings on that shot?

I think it would be great if people posting pics would ALSO post "how" they use DI and their "preferred method" of fishing, whether spider, LL, pulling or pushing, etc. It could help put the whole picture together for people wondering whether DI is really necessary. I'm in the "wondering" phase myself. I know I need to upgrad FF's, but how far on the upgrade is the big ?.

Here is a fact. Bait fish can look like a brush pile on 2d and is often marked as a brush pile. DI will show ground separation between fish and bottom in most cases. I run DI/2d split screen to identify this so not to mark bait fish as structure. I also run DI overlay to enhance the 2d image.

I have 2 HDS units up front. Both are run in split screen. One is DI/2d and the other is SI/GPS.

I like this capability. Do I catch more fish? I don't know but I am looking hard at it.

Great pix guys...I hope others will also have some interesting pix to share...

And this is the very reason for starting this thread... To create a topic of discussion with "real on the water comparisons" of image quality in the DI technology to help people make conscious decisions on what will work the best for themselves....

After all.. Everyone's ideas of advantage vs limitation is different... Pictures may make the decision easier for some folks...

I may own a HB but I would never tout HB over Lowrance (nor vice versa)...opinions are biased...

People want to know what will work best for them.... Show 'em the pix and let them decide for themselves...
